The uniform I-beam has a mass of 71 kg per meter of length and is supported by the rope over the fixed 290-mm drum. If the coefficient of friction between the rope and the drum is 0.60, calculate the least value of the force P which will cause the beam to tip from its horizontal position.

What is the function of the commutator in a dc motor? a. to spin the magnet b. to change direct current into alternating current c. to change alternating current into direct current d. to spin the wire coil

Astone dropped into a well is heard to strike the water after 8seconds. find the depth of the well if the velocity of sound is 350m/s

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i.e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?
