Derive the dimensions of specific heat that is defined as the amount of heat required to elevate the temperature of an object of mass 1 kg by 1 degree celcius.

A5 kg block of fe is dropped into a very large vat of water. the fe and water initial temperatures are 95 and 25 c, respectively. the fe final temperature is 25 c and the water can be treated as a thermal reservoir,. treated as a thermal reservoir take the water to be the system and determine the entropy generation. report vour answer in kj/k.

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg. a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?

Avertical steel rod of length 2.0 m and diameter 25 mm is rigidly fixed at its upper end and has a flange at its lower, free, end. what will be the maximum stress produced in the rod when a load of 20 kn is applied, (a) gradually to the lower end, (b) suddenly to the lower end, (c) by a collar falling from a height of 50 mm on to the flange?
