You have just lifted up a 10 lb weight by abducting your arm out to the side at your shoulder. You continue to hold the weight in that position for a few seconds. During this time the length of your muscle remains the same, while the muscle continues to vary the amount of tension or force needed to keep the weight from falling down. What type of contraction is going on while you are holding this weight in this position

Which of the following situations is impossible? a) an object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed east. b) an object has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration. c) an object has constant non-zero velocity and changing acceleration. d) an object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed west. e) an object has constant non-zero acceleration and changing velocity.

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
