You plan to take your hair dryer to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united states. the dryer puts out 1700 w at 120 v. (a) what could you do to operate your dryer via the 240-v line in europe? (b) what current will your dryer draw from a european outlet? (c) what resistance will your dryer appear to have when operated at 240 v?

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Water at the rate of 1 kg/s is forced through a tube with a 2.5 cm inner diameter. the inlet water temperature is 15°c, and the outlet water temperature is 50°c. the tube wall temperature is 14°c higher than the local water temperature all along the length of the tube. what is the length of the tube?
