*8.10. The brakes on an automobile act by forcing brake pads, which have a metal support and a lining, topress against a disk (rotor) attached to the wheel. Friction between the pads and the disk causes the carto slow or stop. Each wheel has an iron brake disk with a mass of 15 lbm and two brake pads, eachhaving a mass of 1 lbm-(a) Suppose an automobile is moving at 55 miles per hour when the driver suddenly applies thebrakes and brings the car to a rapid halt. Take the heat capacity of the disk and brake pads tobe 0.12 Btu/(lbm-°F) and assume that the car stops so rapidly that heat transfer from the diskand pads has been insignificant. Estimate the final temperature of the disk and pads if the car is (i) a Toyota Camry, which has a mass of about 32001lbm, or (ii) a Cadillac Escalade, whichhas a mass of about 5,900 lbm.(b) Why are the linings on brake pads no longer made of asbestos? Your answer should provideinformation on specific issues or concerns caused by the use of asbestos.

Humans evolved in Earth's atmosphere, therefore the pressures interior to the body are relatively close to atmospheric pressure. Because the differences between internal body pressures and atmospheric pressure are so small, individuals have a difficult time gauging the magnitude of atmospheric pressure. Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of 0.00360 kg and is the standard letter size of 8.5 in by 11 in (0.216 m by 0.279 m), how many sheets must be stacked to produce a pressure on his back equal to atmospheric pressure (roughly 101325 Pa)? sheets of paper required:
A company has several sensors in storage silos to detect the total pressure in the silos to ensure the tanks will not leak. Each tank is designed to withstand a maximum total pressure of 5.7 atmospheres [atm]. An engineer wants to use one of the silos to store liquid nitric acid, which has a density of 97 pound-mass per cubic foot [lbm/ft3]. If the tank is filled to a depth of 90 feet [ft], how much surface pressure in units of atmospheres [atm] can be applied to the top of the liquid inside the tank without exceeding the maximum total pressure of the silo?
Janice is grilling a steak for her July 4th barbecue dinner. The steak initially weighs 300 grams and is 25 mm thick. After grilling it for a while, she considers the steak done, and measures it again: it now weighs 215 grams, and is 15 mm thick. For both the cooked and uncooked steak, she uses the thumb-test to determine the done-ness, i.e. she uses her thumb (area ~5cm2) to push down with a force of 5 N. The uncooked steak compresses by 7 mm, and the cooked steak by 2 mm. The change in elasticity of the steak on cooking is due partly to the loss of water volume (so that existing bonds get closer together) and partly to the creation of new bonds. Assume all of the difference in raw vs. cooked steak thickness is due to water loss that makes it thinner (25 mm thick in the uncooked steak, versus 15 mm thick in the cooked steak), and that the other dimensions of the steak (length and width) have not changed. By what percentage has the steak's volume decreased from the original value?…
