A steel bar with a diameter of .875 inches and a length of 15.0 ft is axially loaded with a force of 21.6 kip. The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 29 *106 psi. Determine

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.

The characteristic roots of a dynamic system are: 1.7920 1.8160 i, -1.7920 1.8160 i, -0.4160 what is the order of this system? what are the settling time and damping ratio of the system?

Atank with constant volume contains 2.27 kg of a mixture of water phases (liquid-vapor). in the initial state the temperature and the quality are 127 °c and 0.6, respectively. the mixture is heated until the temperature of 160 oc is reached. illustrate the process in a t-v diagram. then, determine (1) the mass of the vapor in kg at the initial state, (2) the final pressure in kpa.
