The famous illusionist harry houdini performed a trick where he escaped from being shackled in a packing crate that was lowered into the new york east river. an escape artist wants to perform a similar trick. the 70 kg escape artist with a density of 985 kg/m3, is to be locked in a cubic safe made from 1200 kg of steel. the waterproof safe has an outer volume of 1 m3 and 2.5 cm thick walls. the safe is to be dropped into a lake from the side of a boat whose deck is 2 m above water level. the escape artist expects to be able to escape the safe in 60s. a) derive the equations of motion for the safe, including buoyancy. clearly define the constants and assumptions in your equations. b) estimate how deep underwater will the illusionist escape the safe. you may make additional assumptions or use software to integrate the equations but they must be clearly explained.

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
