A ball bearing operates at 3000RPM, and has a life of 50,000 hours, 6500hours and 1000hourswhen subjected to constant amplitude loads of 1kN, 2kN and 4kN. During each hour of operation,the load is 4kN for 5min, 2kN for 15min and 1kN for 40min. Given this information, determinethe total damage caused by this loading sequence on the ball bearing. Also, determine the life ofthe bearings in terms of hours. What percentage of the damage is caused by each of the loadingindividually?

Wind can produce very high drag loads on high-rise bulidings. Since calculating the áow around a buildingis quite diffcult, you decide to perform an experiment to find the drag on the nearly completed Mirabellabuilding at Univesity Drive and Myrtle Avenue in Tempe. The building is 250 ft tall and approximately 210ft wide (at its widest part) A) determine the drag on the Mirabella building for a sustained wind speed of 40 mph. Supposethat the temperature remains the same both inside and outside of the wind tunnel test section. If theatmospheric pressure is 100 kPa, what would the pressure have to be inside the tunnel test section tomaintain dynamic similarity between the model and the full-scale building? (You may assume that thetunnel is operating at maximum speed.
