A strip of metal is originally 1.0 m long. It is stretched in three steps: first to a length of 1.5 m, then to 2.5 m, and finally to 3.0 m.
(a) Show that the total true strain is the sum of the true strains in each step, that is, that the strains are additive.
(b) Show that, using engineering strains, the strain for each step cannot be added to obtain the total strain.

Water at the rate of 1 kg/s is forced through a tube with a 2.5 cm inner diameter. the inlet water temperature is 15°c, and the outlet water temperature is 50°c. the tube wall temperature is 14°c higher than the local water temperature all along the length of the tube. what is the length of the tube?

Acarnot refrigerator operates in a room in which the temperature is 21°c and of power when operating. if the food compartment of the refrigerator is consumes 3 kw to be maintained at 2°c, determine (a) the coefficient of performance of the cycle and (b) the rate of heat removal from the food compartment. refrigerator cycle that has a higher coefficient of performance than that of the discussed (e) is it possible to develop a carn ot refrigerator, operating between the same temperature limits? explain

Plot schematically the tensile stress versus strain curves for a typical thermoplastic material at a temperature below its glass transition temperature (tg and at a temperature above its tg, respectively. do the same for a typical thermosetting material. list in a table any differences or similarities between the two materials at t> tg and t < tg, respectively, and relate them to the structures of the two types of polymers
