A model for an inverted pendulum was introduced in Example 3.2. Neglecting damping and linearizing the pendulum around the upright position gives a linear system characterized by the matrices A = (0 1 mgl/J_t 0), B = (0 1/J_t), C = (1 0), D = 0. Determine the transfer function of the system.

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 drive force for diffusion is 7 fick's first law can be used to solve the non-steady state diffusion. a)-true b)-false

Slip occurs via two partial dislocations because of (a) the shorter path of the partial dislocation lines; (b) the lower energy state through partial dislocations; (c) the charge balance.
