We want to construct a thermometer using mercury. As the mercury in the bulb is heated, it expands and moves up the thin capillary tube connected to the bulb. If the bulb contains 0.40.4 milliliters [ml] and the tube has a diameter of 0.40.4 millimeters [mm], how much will the mercury rise in the tube in units of centimeters [cm] if we increase the temperature from 2525 degrees Fahrenheit [degrees Upper F°F] to 6565 degrees Fahrenheit [degrees Upper F°F]?

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.

Air is flows through an adiabatic nozzle with an inlet pressure of 400 psia at a temperature of 300°f and a velocity of 20 ft/s. the outlet pressure is 40 psia and the velocity is 800 ftl/s. determine the outlet temperature of the air using: a) property tables b) specific heat (using the specific heat value for air at 300°f)

Areaction-bonded silicon nitride ceramic has a strength of 250 mpa and a fracture toughness of 3.4 mpa(m)^1/2, what is the largest-sized internal flaw that this material can support without fracturing? (use y -1 in the fracture-toughness equation.)
