You’ve just graduated and are working at a firm that manufacturers range extending engines used in hybrid electric vehicles. your boss has commissioned you to suggest an improvement to their most popular engine, which uses a 2-valve design. the engine is operated as a generator to recharge the vehicle’s batteries; its speed is held at a constant, elevated level during operation. immediately you suggest moving toward a 4-valve 2 design with the exhaust valves smaller than the intake valves. your boss disagrees that such a configuration is better for engine performance. state your arguments, and using words and equations, explain why four-valves are preferred to two-valves. then, explain why larger intake valves are preferred to smaller ones using the principle of mass conservation for a steady system,

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
