The acceleration of particle is defined by the relation a= -k/x. It has been experimentally determined that v=15 ft/s and x=0.6 ft and that v=9 ft/s when x=1.2 ft. Determine (a) velocity of the particle when x=1.5ft (b) Position of the particle at which its velocity is zero.

The force on a cutting tool are 2600n vertically downward and 2100 horizontal. determine the resultant force acting on the tool and the angle at which it acts.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false
