A two-tier system to repair bridges is supported by two steel cables for each platform. Lengths of the cables are la = 55 in. and lp = 180 in. Assume that two 160 lb workers are going to be standing on the system to repair a bridge. one on each platform. The following design requirement must be met: the stretch of each cable must be less than 0.01 in. at the worst-case loading condition for each cable.

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and after loading.

I am 5 feet 9 inches tall, and I'm pretty skinny so that you can ignore both my volume and the volume of the stool in your analysis. A gallon is equal to 0.13368 cubic feet. You can think of the volume and the height of the water as functions of time. You can easily find an expression for V (t), and then use your expression for volume in terms of height to solve for h(t). after 10 minutes amount of water in the tank=66.84 ft3 t=69.3 minutes h(t)=e66.84t/100? -1 h(10)=e66.84(10)/100? -1=7.39 ft Height of stool=1.64 ft Height of water in the tank=7.39 ft Questions: show work How fast is the water rising?

Paula has worked for Brindle Corporation for 3 years. During this time, she has worked as a machine operator/cell leader in various work cells. Recently, the plant went to mandatory 12-hour shifts and plans to remain on this schedule for several months. Paula’s present work cell is manufacturing 3-inch diameter exhaust tubes that are made from stainless steel. These tubes get a hole punched in them, a flange welded on, and burrs ground off. The pipe then gets placed into a gage to check that it was made correctly. (The tubes weigh about six pounds.) Paula has been performing the welding operation. She leans into the machine and loads the part into a fixture then positions the flange. Both pieces are clamped (using hand clamps) into position and the machine is cycled by depressing two palm buttons. The gaging operation requires placing the finished part into the gage and clamping it (using hand clamps) into place. A pin is depressed to verify the position of the hole and a…
As an engineer responsible for monitoring works in the area of mechanical systems, you must evaluate the following situation: a large client in the retail area has a refrigeration system where it stores some chilled or frozen products to be sold on the sales floor.Recently, the customer's maintenance department has been questioning the system's performance and requested an evaluation of the system's behavior. You went to the location and requested some information from the maintenance manager about the system, who provided the following data: - The system operates with R-134a refrigerant;- The refrigerated environment is maintained at 0°C and the external environment at 26°C;- The refrigerant flow rate in the system is 0.08 kg/s; In addition to the data provided, you carried out some tests and measured the temperature of the refrigerant fluid at some specific points in the system, such as the compressor inlet and condenser outlet, finding values of 0°C and 26°C respectively.…
