A steel loop ABCD of length 5ft and of 3/8" diameter is placed as shown around a 1" diameter aluminum rod AC. Cables BE and DF each 1/2" diameter are used to apply the load Q. Knowing that the ultimate strength of the steel used for the loop and the cables is 70ksi and that the ultimate strength of the aluminum used for the rod is 38ksi. Determine the largest load Q that can be applied if an overall factor of safety of 3 is desired.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

You are making beer. the first step is filling the glass carboy with the liquid wort. the internal diameter of the carboy is 15 in., and you wish to fill it up to a depth of 2 ft. if your wort is drawn from the kettle using a siphon process that flows at 3 gpm, how long will it take to fill?
