On the way to work in the morning, a man drives five miles east to a gas station before heading another ten miles north to his office. Assuming he travels directly from work at the end of the day, what is the magnitude of the resultant displacement ‘C’?

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.

Determine the largest intensity w of the uniform loading that can be applied to the frame without causing either the average normal stress or the average shear stress at section b–b to exceed σ=19 mpa and τ=24 mpa, respectively.
