Two forces p and q are applied as shown to an aircraft connection. knowing that the connection is in equilibrium and that p = 500 lb and q = 650 lb, determine the magnitudes of the forces exerted on the rods a and b.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
