A windmill turns a series of slender rods fixed about one end (see formula below). They are initially 2 meters long, and go at a speed of 15 rpm. I suggested making the blades 1m long to reduce the cross-sectional area of the windmill, keeping the mass the same for mechanical stress consistency. How fast are the windmill blades going now, in revolutions per minute?
Suppose a long bone is idealized as a solid cylinder with a diameter of 0.03 m. During a torsion test, if the torsion moment is 10N.m, what is the maximal stress caused by torsion? (Hint: polar moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area is equal to π r4/2 , π = 3.14, r is the radius).
A disk of SBR elastomer 3.0 cm in diameter 0.5 cmthick is used as a cushioning surface between two steel rods ofthe same diameter, as shown below (not to scale). a. If the rods are brought together with an axial force of 100 N such that the SBR is compressed elastically between them, what is the thickness of the SBR under load? b. Under the same conditions as part (a), what is the greatest possible diameter of the SBR under load? c. If the SBR is bonded to the rods, how far can one rod be rotated with respect to the other before the SBR/rod interface fractures? Assume that the rods are essentially rigid and the distance between them remains constant. Please answer in degrees of rotation.

What is the magnitude of V necessary to cause this displacement?
Sketch a tensile member with (a) a rectangular crosssection, (b) a solid circular cross section, and (c) a circulartubecross section, and label the dimensions symbolically (e.g.,label the radius for the solid circular case). For each member, write out the definition of engineering stress in terms of the actual dimensions of the component.
