Instructions for Assignment 1 : MECH 6541 X and XX winter session
The students are required to find their way to the bridge on their own. Take the metro to the Montmorency station in Laval and then take the bus line number 8 in the direction of St Eustache
Assignment 1 : Bridge Project. The student is required to visit a bridge on Chemin des ils Corbeil in Sainte Eustache, Quebec and report on how the Bridge was manufactured and erected. You can find the bridge by typing in Google Maps : Île Corbeil, Saint-Eustache, QC
Please include the following in your assignment 1 report – printed copy with your colour picture
Read the case history – both reports
Unfortunately, the company ABC Inc was removed from the supply of the bridge. The insurance company scrapped the bridge work at ABC Inc and went ahead and ordered a bridge from another leading Construction company in Quebec City. The Insurance company further seized all
the assets of ABC Inc sold them to the lowest bidder and sued the owner of ABC inc for 3 Million
dollars of losses. This unfortunate turn of events occurred in September 2015, where ABC Inc was closed for ever and almost 80 jobs were lost in the region.
The student is required to visit the newly erected bridge, and observe the difficult access to the site for long and heavy original bridge components and understand the new bridge design.
1.
Take a selfie at the beginning of the bridge in the location shown below
2.
Look for the name of the constructor of the bridge elements and find out from the web how the bridge must have been erected. The web site has good information. Describe this process in your report. You may even find a drawing on the web, include it in your report.
3.
How is the bridge surface protected from the environment? 4.
Comment on the life expectancy of the bridge structure. (time in years) 5.
Observe the bridge elements and take close ups of some accessible welds, 2 – 3 welds and indicate what welding processes were used in the manufacture of the bridge.

Group Problem: You are planning to build a log cabin in Northern Minnesota on a remote hill with a beautiful
view of the setting sun. You will drag the logs up a long sometimes rocky hill to the building site by means of a
rope attached to a winch. You will need a rope for this job so you aim to know how much weight the rope would
safely support. You are operating on a tight budget so matching the rope strength would be a cost saver. You
know that the logs are heavy, and estimate the heaviest as 1,000 lbs. From maps you verify the hill is steeped
at an angle of = 70° with respect to the vertical, and you estimate a coefficient of kinetic friction between a
log and the earthen hill as 0.5. When pulling a log you will ensure that the uphill acceleration is never more
than 3.0 ft/s². The maximum recommended load is th of the nominal strength for the ropes considered as

Learning Goal:
To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass, and the
centroid of a composite body.
A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object of uniform
composition, its centroid is also its center of mass. Often the
centroid of a complex composite body is found by, first, cutting the
body into regular shaped segments, and then by calculating the
weighted average of the segments' centroids. An object is made
from a uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions of
a = 1.25 ft, where a is the diameter of the semi-circle, b = 3.71 ft,
and c = 2.30 ft. A hole with diameter d = 0.750 ft is centered at
(1.09, 0.625).

Task 2
The transfer of heat from one fluid to another is an essential component of all chemical processes.
Whether it is to cool down a chemical after it has been formed during an exothermic reaction, or
to heat components before starting a reaction to make a final product, the thermal processing
operation is core to the chemical process. It is essential that heat transfer systems for chemical
processes are designed to maximize efficiency. Because the heat transfer step in many chemical
processes is energy intensive, a failure to focus on efficiency can drive up costs unnecessarily.
Task expected from student:
a) Compare the basic design between the classifications of heat exchanger equipment's (Any
three HE equipment's).
b) Summarize the merits, demerits, limitations and applications of heat exchanger equipment's
with neat sketch.

Learning Goal:
A column with a wide-flange section has a flange width b = 200 mm , height h = 200 mm, web thickness tw = 8 mm , and flange
thickness tf = 12 mm (Figure 1). Calculate the stresses at a point 75 mm above the neutral axis if the section supports a tensile
To calculate the normal and shear stresses at a point
on the cross section of a column.
normal force N = 2.9 kN at the centroid, shear force V = 4.6 kN, and bending moment M = 4.8 kN • m as shown (Figure 2).
The state of stress at a point is a description of the
normal and shear stresses at that point. The normal
stresses are generally due to both internal normal
force and internal bending moment. The net result can
be obtained using the principle of superposition as
long as the deflections remain small and the response
is elastic.
Part A - Normal stress
Calculate the normal stress at the point due to the internal normal force on the section.

whether this person is having a hypertension (high blood pressure) or a hypotension by determining the
pressure in the main vein. Note that a nominal value for the normal pressure for that specific vein is 140 mmHg.
If the found value is higher, we can consider the person to be hypertensive. Assume a blood density of 1050
[kg/m³] and a viscosity of 3.5 [Pa.s]
Is this a hypertension case? (i.e., is the pressure in the main vein P1 > 140 mmHg?

David Aquino, engineering director, started out the day uptight. His young child
had the flu the night before, and he had been up all night to help. Upon arrival at his
office, David had to make urgent phone calls to approve a two-week overtime work plan

day to counter environmental concerns about a wastewater treatment plant.
Then he spent 30 minutes reviewing the qualifications of new candidates and
decided on one. He asked for salary information and wanted to examine the offer before
it was sent. He asked for further justification for the budget requested by industrial
engineering for a minicomputer. Without reading it, he approved the research proposal

Learning Goal:
To describe the shape and behavior of cables that are subjected to concentrated and
distributed loads.
Part A
Structures often use flexible cables to support members and to transmit loads between
structural members. Because a cable's weight is often significantly smaller than the
load it supports, a cable's weight is considered negligible and, therefore, not used in
the analysis.
In this tutorial, cables are assumed to be perfectly flexible and inextensible. Thus, once
the load is applied the geometry of the cable remains fixed and the cable segment can
be treated as a rigid body.
Cables of negligible weight support the loading shown. (Figure 1) If W, = 85.0 N , W, = 510 N, YB = 1.40 m, yc = 2.80 m, yp = 0.700 m, and zc = 0.850 m, find zg.

PROBLEM 1
For the engineering activity, current practical capacity is defined by the following requirements: 6,000 engineering hours for each
product group that has been on the market or in development for 5 years or less, and 2,400 hours per product group of more than
5 years. Four product groups have less than 5 years' experience, and 10 product groups have more. There are 24 engineers, each
paid a salary of P60,000. Each engineer can provide 2,000 hours of service per year. The actual engineering usage was 46,000
hours. The standard is 58% of current practical activity capacity.

Calculate the (1) activity volume and (2) unused capacity variances for the engineering activity
