The 2.44-m high exterior wall of a backwoods shack is constructed of 16-mm-thick cedar boards that form the outside surface of the shack's wall, 38-mm by 90-mm pine studs on 406-mm centers with glass-fiber insulation batts between the studs, and a 10- mm-thick inside wall made of plywood. The exterior wall construction includes a sole plate that uses 38×90 pine studs, and a top plate that uses two 38×90 pine studs. The outer surface of the exterior wall is exposed to air having a convection coefficient of hout= 35 W/m².K, and the inner surface of the wall is exposed to air having a convection coefficient of h = 8 W/m².K. Assume kedar = 0.11 W/m-K for cedar boards, = 0.14 W/m K for pine, kalts = 0.038 W/m K for glass-fiber insulation batts, and k pine

A composite bar is comprised of a concentric circular rod of copper and a tube of aluminium, each of length 500 mm, that are attached rigidly to above one another at both ends. The diameter of the copper rod is 30 mm, while the inner and outer diameters of the aluminium rod are 50 and 60 mm, respectively. The Young's modulus and coefficients of thermal expansion for copper and aluminium are given as, 120 GPa and 80 GPa, and 17 x 10-6/ °C and 23 x 10-6/ °C, respectively. 2.1 Calculate the magnitude of the stresses that are induced in the copper bar and aluminium rod if the composite bar is exposed to a temperature change of 50° C, and state their senses. 2.2 Calculate the elongations of the constituents of the composite bar.
Problem 1: Three vertical posts AD, BE, and CF are held between two horizontal rigid plates. Posts AD and CF are made of steel (Es = 200 GPa) and have cross sectional areas of 1000 mm² each. Post BE is made of aluminum (Ea = 73.1 GPa) and has a cross sectional area of 1500 mm². Initially, there is a small gap of 0.1 mm between BE and the top horizontal plate. Then a vertical force of P = 410 kN is applied, which is more than sufficient to close the gap completely. D -0.5 m B E -0.5 m- 0.4 m F Determine the normal stresses in posts AD, BE, and CF (both magnitude and sign).
The Diamond Ring Solution. The processing chip on the computer that controls the navigation equipment on your spacecraft is overheating. Unless you fix the problem, the chip will be damaged and the navigation system will shut down. You open the panel and find that the small copper disk that was supposed to bridge the gap between the smooth top of the chip and the cooling plate is missing, leaving a 2.0 mm gap between them. In this configuration, the heat cannot escape the chip at the required rate. You notice by the thin smudge of thermal grease (a highly thermally conductive material used to promote good thermal contact between surfaces) that the missing copper disk was 2.0 mm thick and had a diameter of 1.0 cm. You know that the chip is designed to run below 70 °C, and the copper cooling plate is held at a constant 5.0 °C. (a) What was the rate of heat flow from the chip to the copper plate when the original copper disk was in place and the chip was at its maximum operating…
A disk of SBR elastomer 3.0 cm in diameter 0.5 cmthick is used as a cushioning surface between two steel rods ofthe same diameter, as shown below (not to scale). a. If the rods are brought together with an axial force of 100 N such that the SBR is compressed elastically between them, what is the thickness of the SBR under load? b. Under the same conditions as part (a), what is the greatest possible diameter of the SBR under load? c. If the SBR is bonded to the rods, how far can one rod be rotated with respect to the other before the SBR/rod interface fractures? Assume that the rods are essentially rigid and the distance between them remains constant. Please answer in degrees of rotation.
Two cylinders, 0.75 m in diameter (upper cylinder is 1.5 m long, k = 0.5 W/m-K; lower cylinder is 1.1 m long, k = 1.3 W/m-K) are inside a frustum of a square pyramid (k = 0.053 W/m-K) as shown in the diagram. The upper face is at 250 oC and the lower base is at 100 oC. Calculate the resistance in C (in K/W).
A steel cable is used to keep a 2.0 m long 10-kg bar horizontal. One end of the bar is attached to a hinged mount attached to a wall. The other end is connected to a cable that makes a 30° angle with the bar and attaches to the wall at a point directly above the hinged mount. A 20-kg, 60 cm long sign is then hung from the end of the bar, attached at points 5.0 cm in on each end of the sign, with one of the cables aligned with the end of the bar. What is the tension in the cable?
A current problem in the U.S. Air Force is the neck/shoulder fatigue experienced by pilots. To be able to fly missions at night, the pilots wear night vision goggles, which are attached to the front of the helmet. Unfortunately, these are heavy, causing a large downward torque of the head, which must be counteracted by the neck muscles, which then fatigue. To alleviate this problem, many pilots have started attaching random lead weights to the back of the helmet. Find the appropriate weight that would best balance the head and minimize neck fatigue – You must show your free body diagram. Assumptions: a) center of gravity of goggles is 20 cm in front of neck pivot point, b) load of goggles1.0 kg mass, c) center of gravity of lead weight is 10 cm behind neck pivot point, d) load of bare helmet 3 kg mass, e) center of gravity of helmet is 2 cm in front of neck pivot, f) load of head 4.0 kg mass, and g) center of gravity of head is right at neck pivot point.

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has a main span of length 1.28 km, one of the longest in the world. Imagine that a steel wire with this length and a cross-sectional area of 4.10 x 106 m2 is laid in a straight line on the bridge deck with its ends attached to the towers of the bridge. On a summer day the temperature of the wire is 22.0°C. (a) When winter arrives, the towers stay the same distance apart and the bridge deck keeps the same shape as its expansion joints open. When the temperature drops to -10°C, what is the tension in the wire? (Take Young's modulus for steel to be 2.00 x 1011 N/m2, and the average linear expansion coefficient for steel to be 1.1 x 10-Soc-1.) (b) Permanent deformation occurs if the stress in the steel exceeds its elastic limit of 3.00 x 10° N/m2. At what temperature would the wire reach its elastic limit? (c) Explain how your answers to parts (a) and (b) would change if the Golden Gate Bridge were twice as long.
Find the thermal resistance r (in hr - °F/BTU) and the equivalent R-value (in hr ft?. °F/BTU) of a typical frame 20' x 7.5" wall consisting of a 0.5" plaster board on the inside of the room, nominai 2 x 4 studs, and a 0.5" sheathing on the outside. The spaces between the studs are filled with an R-15 insulating foam. What is the heat loss (in BTU) through this wall in four hours if the inside temperature is 72°F and the outside temperature is 32°F?
