Arm torque A horizontally outstretched arm supports a weight of 20 lb in a hand (see figure). If the distance from the shoulder to the elbow is 1 ft and the distance from the elbow to the hand is 1 ft, find the magnitude and describe the direction of the torque about (a) the shoulder and (b) the elbow. (The units of torque in this case are ft-lb.)

- (Thermodynamics) The work, W, performed by a single piston in an engine can be determined by this formula: W=Fd F is the force provided by the piston in Newtons. d is the distance the piston moves in meters. a. Determine the units of W by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for work listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the work performed by a piston that provides a force of 1000 N over a distance of 15 centimeters.arrow_forward(Automotive) a. An automobile engine’s performance can be determined by monitoring its rotations per minute (rpm). Determine the conversion factors that can be used to convert rpm to frequency in hertz (Hz), given that 1rotation=1cycle,1minute=60seconds,and1Hz=1cycle/sec. b. Using the conversion factors you determined in Exercise 7a, convert 2000 rpm into hertz.arrow_forward(Heat transfer) The formula developed in Exercise 5 can be used to determine the cooling time, t, caused only by radiation, of each planet in the solar system. For convenience, this formula is repeated here (see Exercise 5 for a definition of each symbol): t=Nk2eAT3fin A=surfaceareaofasphere=4r2 N=numberofatoms=volumeofthespherevolumeofanatom Volume of a sphere sphere=43radius3 The volume of a single atom is approximately 11029m3 . Using this information and the current temperatures and radii listed in the following chart, determine the time it took each planet to cool to its current temperature, caused only by radiation.arrow_forward
- (Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft). Eisthemodulesofelasticity( lbs/f t 2 ).Iisthesecondmomentofinertia( f t 4 ). For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward(Mechanical eng.) The minimum radius required for a cylindrical rod, such as one supporting a bicycle pedal (see Figure 2.22), to provide enough support for the pressure exerted by the rider’s foot yet not exceed the stress placed on the crank arm’s sprocket attachment, is given by this formula: r3=dPS r is the radius of the cylindrical rod in inches. d is the length of the crank arm in inches. P is the weight placed on the pedal in lbs. S is the stress in lbs/in2. Using this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++ program that computes the value of r for a crank arm that’s 7 inches long, accommodates a maximum weight of 300 lbs, and is able to sustain a stress of 10,000 lbs/in2.arrow_forward(Oceanography) The pressure, P, exerted on an underwater object can be determined by this formula: P=gh is the density of water, which is 1.94slug/ft3 . g is the acceleration caused by Earth’s gravity, which is 32.2ft/sec2. h is the object’s depth in the water in feet. a. Determine the units of P by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for pressure listed in Table 1.1. b. Determine the pressure on a submarine operating at a depth of 2500 feet.arrow_forward
