For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 275 mpa (40,000 psi), and the modulus of elasticity is 115 gpa (16.7 × 106 psi). (a) what is the maximum load that can be applied to a specimen with a cross-sectional area of 325 mm2 (0.5 in.2) without plastic deformation?

Apiston-cylinder device contains 0.1 m3 of liquid water and 0.9 m3 of water vapor in equilibrium at 800 kpa. heat is transferred at constant pressure until the temperature of water reaches 350 °c. determine (a) the quality of water at the initial state (b) the work associated with this process, (c) the heat associated with this process.
