Sometimes we can develop equations and solve practical problems by knowing nothing more than the dimensions of the key parameters in the problem. For example, consider the heal Joss through a window in a building. Window efficiency is rated in terms of "R value," which has units of (ft 2 · h · °F)/Btu. A certain manufacturer advertises a double-pane window with an R value of 2,5. The same company produces a. triple-pane window with an R value of 3.4. In either case the window dimensions are 3 ft by 5 ft. On a given winter day, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the building is 45°F. ( a) Develop an equation for the amount of heat lost in a given time period Δ t, through a window of area A, with a given R value, and temperature difference Δ T. How much heat (in Btu) is lost through the double-pane window in one 24-h period? (b) How much heat (in Btu) is lost through the triple-pane window in one 24-h period? (c) Suppose the building is heated with propane gas, which costs $3.25 per gallon. The propane burner is HO percent efficient. Propane has approximately 90,000 Btu of available energy per gallon. In that same 24-h period, how much money would a homeowner save per window by installing triple-pane rather than double-pane windows? (d) Finally, suppose the homeowner buys 20 such triple-pane windows for the house. A typical winter has the equivalent of about 120 heating days at a temperature difference of 45°F. Each triple-pane window costs $85 more than the double-pane window. Ignoring interest and inflation, how many years will it take the homeowner to make up the additional cost of the triple-pane windows from heating bill savings?

3.) 15.40 – Collar B moves up at constant velocity vB = 1.5 m/s. Rod AB has length = 1.2 m. The incline is
at angle = 25°. Compute an expression for the angular velocity of rod AB, ė and the velocity of end A of the
rod (✓✓) as a function of v₂,1,0,0. Then compute numerical answers for ȧ & y_ with 0 = 50°.
2.) 15.12 The assembly shown consists of the straight rod ABC which passes through and is welded to the
grectangular plate DEFH. The assembly rotates about the axis AC with a constant angular velocity of 9 rad/s.
Knowing that the motion when viewed from C is counterclockwise, determine the velocity and acceleration of
corner F.
