A car traveling at 65mph on a poor, wetpavement has a braking efficiency of 90%. The brakes were applied 200feet before hitting an obstaclein the road. The road is uphillfor 90feet and then is levelfor the remainder of the way. The car had a maximum coefficient of road adhesion in the slopedportion of the poor, wet roadway and started sliding as soon as it started going level, which reduced its coefficient of road adhesion to 0.3. Assuming that the car struck the obstacleat 37mph, what was the grade of the hill? Assume practical stopping distance equation applies.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240Ā°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100Ā°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240Ā°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100Ā°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
