The air in an insulated, rigid compressed-air tank whose volume is 0.5 m3 is initially at 2240 kPa and 20°C. Enough air is now released from the tank to reduce the pressure to 2000 kPa. Following this release, what is the temperature of the remaining air in the tank? The gas constant of air is 0.287 kPa·m3/kg·K. The specific heats of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K and cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·K.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
