Consider the exponential relaxation of a source-free RC or RL network from some non-zero initial condition. a. How many time constants does it take for the response, vC (t) or iL (t), to reach (i) 90%, (ii) 50%, and (iii) 10% of its initial value?

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Acertain flow of air (at stp) has a velocity distribution given by v i (in ft/s). if this flow is going through a 4 ft square area in the yz-plane (centered at the origin), what is the mass flow rate (in lbm/s)?

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.
