Answer the following questions: a. Write five properties of element stiffness matrix b. Write five properties of structural stiffness matrix c. Write five properties of the global stiffness matrix d. Will subdividing a truss element into many smaller elements improve the accuracy of the solution? Explain e. Explain when element force P is positive or negative. f. For a given spring element, explain why we cannot calculate nodal displacement u and u when nodal forces f and are given. g. Explain what "striking-the-rows" and "striging-the-columns" mean. h. Explain why we need to define the local coordinates x-y in 2D truss element. i. Explain how to determine the angle of a 2D truss element. j. When the connectivity of an element is changed from i →j to j → 1, will the global stiffness matrix be the same or different? Explain why

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.
