The rigid bar is pinned at A and supported by two aluminum rods, each having a diameter of 1 in. a modulus of elasticity Eal = 10(103) ksi, and yield stress of (sY)al = 40 ksi. If the bar is initially vertical, determine the angle of tilt of the bar when the 20-kip load is applied.

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
