At a ski resort, water at 40 °F is pumped through a 3-in.-diameter, 2000-ft-long steel pipe from a pond at an elevation of 4288 ft to a snow-making machine at an elevation of 4623 ft at a rate of 0.26 ft3/s. If it is necessary to maintain a pressure of 181 psi at the snow-making machine, determine the horsepower added to the water by the pump. Neglect minor losses.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Compute the pressure drop of 30°c air flowing with a mean velocity of 8 m/s in a circular sheet-metal duct 300 mm in diameter and 15 m long. use a friction factor, f 0.02, and pair = 1.1644 kg/m a. 37.26 pa b. 25.27 pa n c. 29.34 pa d. 30.52 pa

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
