An average sleeping person metabolizes at a rate about 80 W by digesting food or burning fat. Typically, 20 % of this energy goes into bodily functions, such as cell repair, pumping blood, and other uses of mechanical energy, while the rest goes to heat. Most people get rid of all this excess heat by transferring it (by conduction and the flow of blood) to the surface of the body, where it is radiated away. The normal internal temperature of the body (where the metabolism takes place) is 37°C, and the skin is typically 7°C cooler. By how much does the person's entropy change per second due to this heat transfer?

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?

Part f - example: finding two forces (part i) two dimensional dynamics often involves solving for two unknown quantities in two separate equations describing the total force. the block in (figure 1) has a mass m=10kg and is being pulled by a force f on a table with coefficient of static friction îľs=0.3. four forces act on it: the applied force f (directed î¸=30â above the horizontal). the force of gravity fg=mg (directly down, where g=9.8m/s2). the normal force n (directly up). the force of static friction fs (directly left, opposing any potential motion). if we want to find the size of the force necessary to just barely overcome static friction (in which case fs=îľsn), we use the condition that the sum of the forces in both directions must be 0. using some basic trigonometry, we can write this condition out for the forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as: fcosî¸â’îľsn=0 fsinî¸+nâ’mg=0 in order to find the magnitude of force f, we have to solve a system of two equations with both f and the normal force n unknown. use the methods we have learned to find an expression for f in terms of m, g, î¸, and îľs (no n).

An important dimensionless parameter concerned with very high-speed flow is the mach number, defined as v/c, where v is the speed of the object such as an airplane or projectile, and c is the speed of sound in the fluid surrounding the object. for a projectile traveling at 1170 mph through air at 50 ˚f and standard atmospheric pressure, what is the value of the mach number?
