You are given a sample of an unknown mineral. You determine that the mineral’s streak is white and its specific gravity is 2.8. Is the mineral most likely to be a metallic mineral or a nonmetallic mineral?

Asolid round steel rod 6.25 mm in diameter and 375 mm long is rigidly bonded to the end of solid square brass rod 25 mm on a side and 300 mm long. the geometric axes of the bare are along the same line. an axial tensile force of 5.4 kn is applied at the extreme ends of the assembly. for steel e = 200 gpa and for brass e = 90 gpa. determine the total elongation for the assembly.

In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich uncle. the top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. you have taped an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence. the ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be ignored. you throw the rock from a height of 1.60 m above the ground and at an angle of 54.0 degrees above the horizontal. part a part complete what minimum initial speed must the rock have as it leaves your hand to clear the top of the fence? express your answer with the appropriate units. part b for the initial velocity calculated in the previous part, what horizontal distance beyond the fence will the rock land on the ground?

Acommon procedure for measuring the velocity of an airstream involves the insertion of an electrically heated wire (called a hot-wire anemometer) into the airflow, with the axis of the wire oriented perpendicular to the flow direction. the electrical energy dissipated in the wire is assumed to be transferred to the air by forced convection. hence, for a prescribed electrical power, the temperature of the wire depends on the convection coefficient, which, in turn, depends on the velocity of the air. consider a wire of length l = 20 mm and diameter d = 0.5 mm, for which a calibration of the form v = 6.25 ă— 10â’5 h2 has been determined. the velocity v and the convection coefficient h have units of m/s and w/m2 â‹… k, respectively. in an application involving air at a temperature of tâž = 25â°c, the surface temperature of the anemometer is maintained at ts = 75â°c with a voltage drop of 5 v and an electric current of 0.1 a. what is the velocity of the air?
