A 15-ft beam weighing 570 lb is lowered by means of two cables unwinding from overhead cranes. As the beam approaches the ground, the crane operators apply brakes to slow the unwinding motion. Knowing that the deceleration of cable A is 20 ft/s2 and the deceleration of cable B is 2 ft/s2, determine the tension in each cable.

Along steel shaft of 10 cm diameter is austenised at 870°c and then quenched in a liquid at 30oc. the average surface heat transfer coefficient is 2000 w/m2. °c. the relevant thermophysical properties of the shaft are: p=7800 kg/m", k=20 w/mk, cp=0.46 kj/kg.k calculate: a)-the time required for the center temperature to drop to 200°c. b)-the temperature at half-radius at that moment. c)-the amount of heat that had been transferred to the liquid by that time per meter length of the shaft
