A tentative rule was given about tipping in Testing Experiment Table 8.4, where if a vertical line passing through the object's center of mass is within the object's area of support the object does not tip. According to the rule, the full box of crackers in the following experiment, which has a width of 13 cm and a height of 20 cm, was seen to tip at an angle of: θc=tan−1(13 cm/20 cm)=33∘θ According to the rule, at what angle will a box with the left half filled with crackers begin to tip? Assume the box is light-weight and that the contents remain in the configuration in
Assume that annual energy requirement of an industry is 20000 kWh . DETERMINE size of wind turbine that is required to be installed to meet the energy requirement . Following assumptions are taken into account for estimation Annual energy requirement - 20000 kWh Propeller type wind machine is used . Coefficient of performance -0.40 Wind speed at 15 meter height is 5 meter / sec ( if the turbine hub is placed at the height other than 15 meter , the wind speed should be estimated as shown in " vertical wind speed variation section Density of air - 1 kg / m Capacity factor -0.30
PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs. In the previous problem, if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s and if the error measurement for theoretical power output must be limited to 3%, WHY OR WHY NOT should you accept the design? * Show complete solution in paper.

(1) A simple, vertical U-tube manometer is used to measure the differencebetween two gas pressures.Write down an equation for the pressure difference in terms of the difference inthe level of the fluid in the manometer. Describe briefly, with the help ofdiagrams, two modifications to the basic design which offer greater sensitivity tosmall pressure differences. Give equations for their use. ii) An extractor fan draws air from a room and delivers it to the surroundingsthrough a 5m long circular duct of diameter 0.1m. The friction coefficientfor the duct flow is 0.002. The fan characteristic, relating its total pressurerise, ∆P (Nm-2) to the volume flow rate is: ∆P = 103−7x104Q 2. What is therate of flow through the duct?You may assume that the room and surroundings are both at atmosphericpressure; state and justify any other assumptions you make.
A hemispherical dome of radius 40 feet is to be given 5 coats of paint, each of which is 1/100 inch thick. Use linear approximation to estimate the volume of paint needed for the job.( Hint: Approximate the change in the volume of a hemisphere when the radius increases from 40 feet to 40 feet 5/100 inches. Don't forget to make sure this increased radius is in terms of feet. )It will take approximately cubic feet of paint to apply all 5 coats of paint.

An engineer sets the pressure in a supply tank usinga very accurate manometer as a guide and then reads theoutput of a 20-psig pressure gauge attached to the tank as10.2 psig. Sometime later she repeats the procedure andobtains values of 10.4 and 10.3 psig. Discuss the following gauge properties:(a)Precision(b)Accuracy(c)Resolution(d)RepeatabilityExpress these answers on a percentage of full-scale basis.
Completely solve and box the final answers. Write legibly 9. A blower with the inlet open to the atmosphere delivers 250 cubic meters per minute of air at a pressure of 2.50 cm of water gage through a duct 25 cm in diameter, the manometer being attached to the discharge duct at the blower. Air temperature is 25 degrees C and the barometer pressure reads 1.025 bar. Calculate the required motor rating in KW if the blower efficiency is 92.5%
