The ideal gas law relates the pressure P, volume V, absolute temperature T, and amount of gas n. The law is
P = nRT/ V
where R is the gas constant.
An engineer must design a large natural gas storage tank to be expandable to maintain the pressure constant at 2.2 atm. In December when the temperature is 4°F (- 15°C), the volume of gas in the tank is 28 500 ft3 . What will the volume of the same quantity of gas be in July when the temperature is 88°F (31°C)? (Hint: Use the fact that n, R, and P are constant in this problem. Note also that K =°C +273.2.)
You are the mechatronics engineer of a manufacturing plant. You decide to perform an analysis on a robot arm of the assembly line with the objective of optimizing its performance. After taking several readings of the speed of the arm’s end effector, you approximate its velocity to the function given below.
v(t) = -t4 + 5t3 - 7t2 + 3t + 0.22 0 =< t =< 3
where the velocity is in ms-1
Use your knowledge of differentiation to sketch the velocity-time graph, clearly marking the critical points.
Using the graph sketched in (a) above, estimate the velocity when t = 1.5 s
Calculate the velocity of the function when t = 1.5 s by substituting to the velocity function. Compare this value to the value you estimated in b above.
Let's begin by determining the equilibrium position of a seesaw pivot. You and a friend play on a seesaw. Your mass is 90 kg, and your friend’s mass is 60 kg. The seesaw board is 3.0 mm long and has negligible mass. Where should the pivot be placed so that the seesaw will balance when you sit on the left end and your friend sits on the right end?
a)Let's look at the same scenario we just worked through, but instead, the board now has a non-zero mass of 15 kg. Where should the pivot be placed for balance?

- As4. This is my third time asking this question. Please DO NOT copy and paste someone else's work or some random notes. I need an answer to this question. There is a mass attached to a spring which is fixed against a wall. The spring is compressed and then released. Friction and is neglected. The velocity and displacement of the mass need to be modeled with an equation or set of equations so that various masses and spring constants can be input into Matlab and their motion can be observed. Motion after being released is only important, the spring being compressed is not important. This could be solved with dynamics, Matlab, there are multiple approaches.arrow_forwardThe following tools / resources may be useful for you to complete the assignment:a.

I tried making my own function and using the MATLAB function, but the result is matrices that are not equal to each other. But, if I were to use the 'ZYX' sequence, I would get a matrix that is equal to the transpose of the matrix produced by my function.I mean that transpose(EA123toDCM) = E123toDCM if I changed the sequence to 'ZYX'. I never got two equal matrices. Can you fix my code so I would get two equal DCM matrices for the body 1-2-3 sequence? Also, for the E123toDCM line, I am using the sequence 'XYZ'. Is that correct or should it be 'ZYX'? I know that that for a DCM of sequence 1-2-3 = R3(theta1)*R2(theta2)*R1(theta3). Is ZYX sequence the same as a 1-2-3 sequence?

- Help with the MATLAB code to do the following: Given an audio recording of vehicles, compute Power Spectral Density, 1/3 octave band level, octave band level, A-weighted Leq, C-weighted Leq, L10 (unweighted since sample is short), L90 (unweighted since sample is short). If the measurement is made at approximately 50 ft, and that the vehicles are moving at an average of 65 mph, what is the flow rate Q? If instead, the noise is dominated by 1-2 motorcycles, how fast are they going? Given- -The data are in counts -Calibration factor is 133 uPa/count -Sample rate is 44100Hz. -Remember that in air the dB reference is 20 uPa -Pwelch requires that the inputs are doublesarrow_forward2.

A notable feature of this vehicle is the gullwing door design that opens from a hinge at the top of the car. Unfortunately, you are having so much fun driving the car that you end up submerged in a fresh water lake. You sink to the bottom of the lake, which has a depth of 10 m. For the sake of simplicity, you can model the door as a 1 m × 1 m square plate, inclined at 45° relative to the floor of the lake. Neglect the weight of the door and friction in the hinge. How much force will be required to open the door, assuming you push from its geometric center?arrow_forward
