An inventor brings you a device. she claims that it will collect solar energy at 120c and that each 1m^2 of collecting surface will provide power from the attached engine at a rate of 0.5 kw/m2. you know that the solar energy on a clear day around noon in atlanta does not exceed 1 kw/m2. you are asked to decide the following a) what is the first and 2nd law of thermodynamics? b) does the proposed device violate the first law? why or why not? list any assumptions you may make. c) does it violate the second law? why or why not? list any assumptions you may make. d) could the device operate as advertised if you used the device somewhere else instead of atlanta? what would the requirements on the climate of that place?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
