The device shown is a part of an automobile seat back-release mechanism. The part is subjected to the 4-N force exerted at A and a restoring moment exerted by a hidden torsional spring. Determine the y-intercept of the line of action of the single equivalent force.

For a process taking place in a closed system containing gas, the volume and pressure relationship is pvi-constant. -1.5 bar, the process starts with initial conditions, pi = =0.03 m3 and ends with final volume, v2-0.05 m3 determine the work done by the gas.

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly e end nation about same energy states, 1 and 2, where pi 10 bar, v undergoes two processes, a and b, between the sam 0.1 m3, ui-400 kj and p2 1 bar, v2 1.0 m2, u2 200 kj: process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure- volume relation is pv constant process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to +20 0 state 2 kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, (a) sketch the process on p-v coordinates, (b) evaluate the work, in kj, and (c) evaluate process the heat transfer, in kj

In the winter, in order to keep the classroom steadily at 68 f before 10 pm, heating with an average rate of 42,000 btu/hr is provided. assume the outdoor temperature maintains at 32°f, determine the electrical power (kw) required to (a) operate a reversible heat pump (b) operate a real heat pump with a cop (7) of 4.5 and (c) operate an electrical-resistance heater.
