A metal block 30 cm square and 25 cm deep is floated on a body of liquid which consist of 20 cm layer of water above the layer of mercury. The block weighs 18 840 N/m. If a downward vertical force 1 100 N is applied is applied to the center to the center of this block, determine the location of the top edge of metal block before and after the vertical force is applied.

A 25-mm-diameter shaft is pulled through a cylindrical bearing as shown in Figure. The lubricant that fills the 0.3-mm gap between the shaft and bearing is an oil having a kinematic viscosity of 8x10 m²/s and a specific gravity of 0.91. Determine the force P required to pull the shaft at a velocity of 3 m/s. Assume the velocity distribution in the gap is linear. Bearing Shaft 0.5 m Lubricant

A crane chain having an area of 7.25 cm² carries a load of 15 kN. As it is being lowered at a uniform rate of 50 m per minute, the chain gets jammed suddenly, at which time the length of chain unwound is 12 m. Estimate the stress induced in chain due to sudden stoppage. Neglect weight of chain. Assume E = 2.1 x 105 N/mm².
Hi, I need help with this question please. Thank you. A cantilever thin-walled cylindrical tube of inner diameter ? = 30cm and thickness ? = 1cm is subjected to a torque T and internal pressure p as shown below. The free end of the tube is closed. Strain gauges A and B mounted on the surface of the cylinder give readings ?? = 7.5 × 10^−6 and ?b = 19.7x10^−6, respectively. The bar is made of steel having Young's modulus E=200 GPa and Poisson's ration ? = 0.3. a) Determine the torque, T, and internal pressure, p. b) Determine the absolute maximum shear strain ???? at point C.
Please show free-body diagram. Thank you!
