0.5-inch thick bar stock can be purchased from your supplier in any width between 0.5 and 4 inches. The modulus of elasticity for the bar stock is 12,000,000 psi. A bridge you are designing requires a 56-foot long member to support a maximum load of 9,000 lbs. and not stretch more than 0.6 inches. What width of bar stock should you order?

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

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

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
