Aload of 10kn is to be suddenly applied to the free end of a vertical rod of length 500 mm, the upper end being rigidly fixed. 190 mechanical science what should the diameter of the rod be if the maximum stress in the rod is not to exceed 100 mpa? the tensile modulus of the rod is 205 gpa.

Acertain flow of air (at stp) has a velocity distribution given by v i (in ft/s). if this flow is going through a 4 ft square area in the yz-plane (centered at the origin), what is the mass flow rate (in lbm/s)?

An electric kettle is made out of stainless steel, weighs two pounds (when empty) and is equipped with a heating element that consumes 2 kw of electricity. assuming that the water and the kettle are at the same uniform temperature at any moment of time, calculate the shortest possible time to bring 2 quarts of water from room temperature to the onset of boiling
