A specimen of aluminum having a rectangular cross section 9.9 mm × 12.4 mm (0.3898 in. × 0.4882 in.) is pulled in tension with 35900 N (8071 lbf) force, producing only elastic deformation. The elastic modulus for aluminum is 69 GPa (or 10 × 106 psi). Calculate the resulting strain.

A75-hp (shaft output) motor that has an efficiency of 91.0 percent is worn out and is to be replaced by a high-efficiency motor that has an efficiency of 95.4 percent. the motor operates 4368 hours a year at a load factor of 0.75. taking the cost of electricity to be $0.12/kwh, determine the amount of energy and money saved as a result of installing the high-efficiency motor instead of the standard motor. also, determine the simple payback period if the pu

A55-kg pilot flies a jet trainer in a half vertical loop of 1200-m radius so that the speed of the trainer decreases at a constant rate. knowing that the plane has a speed of 550 km/h at point a, and the pilot experiences weightlessness at point c (i.e., the normal force from the seat bottom is zero), determine (a) the deceleration of the plane, (b) the force exerted on her by the seat of the trainer when the trainer is at point b.

Water moves to the top of tall trees because of a) capillary action b) surface tension c) capillary action and evaporation d) vapor pressure
