A stranded steel cable with known cross section and modulus of elasticity supports a 5-ton elevator. As the elevator is descending at a constant velocity, an accident causes the top of the cable, 70 ft above the elevator, to suddenly stop. Required:
Estimate the maximum elongation and maximumtensile stress developed in the cable.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit.explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Consider a large isothermal enclosure that is maintained at a uniform temperature of 2000 k. calculate the emissive power of the radiation that emerges from a small aperture on the enclosure surface. what is the wavelength ? , below which 10% of the emission is concentrated? what is the wavelength ? 2 above which 10% of the emission is concentrated? determine the wavelength at which maximum spectral emissive power occurs. what is the irradiation incident on a small object placed inside the enclosure?
