Aperson is planning a bungee jump from a 40 meter high bridge. under the bridge is a river with crocodiles, so the person does not want to be submerged into the water. the rubber rope fastened to the ankles has a spring constant of 3,600 n/m per meter length. thus one meter length of rope will have a spring constant of 3,600 n/m, two meters of rope will have a spring constant of 1,800 n/m, three meters of rope will have a spring constant of 1,200 n/m and so forth. the distance from the ankles to the top of the head is 175 cm, and the person has a mass of 80 kg. calculate: a. b. c. how long the rope should be [m] how much deflection the rope experiences [m] how much impact force the bungee jumper experiences [n]

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
