Explanation Given information: For a uniformly accelerated motion, x = x 0 + v 0 t + 1 2 a t 2 In the above equation, x - End distance x 0 - Start distance v 0 - Initial velocity t - Elapsed time a -Acceleration Calculation: For horizontal motion, x 0 = v 0 cos α t Therefore, v 0 = x 0 cos α t For vertical motion, y = y 0 + v 0 t + 1 2 a t 2 y = 0 + v 0 sin α t − 1 2 g t 2 Substitute for v 0 y = ( x 0 cos α t ) sin α t − 1 2 g t 2 y = x 0 tan α − 1 2 g t 2 Therefore, t 2 = 2 ( x 0 tan α − y ) g At the landing point, y = 0 Therefore, t = 2 v 0 sin α g x = 2 v 0 2 sin α cos α g Now, for α = 31 ° To clear the tree A, x A = 30 m y A = 12 m Therefore, t A 2 = 2 ( x 0 tan α − y ) g = 2 ( 30 tan 31 ° − 12 ) 9 To determine (b) v 0 , d if α = 27 °

Q Derive (continuity equation)? I want to derive clear mathematics.

motor supplies 200 kW at 6 Hz to flange A of the shaft shown in Figure. Gear B transfers 125 W of power to operating machinery in the factory, and the remaining power in the shaft is mansferred by gear D. Shafts (1) and (2) are solid aluminum (G = 28 GPa) shafts that have the same diameter and an allowable shear stress of t= 40 MPa. Shaft (3) is a solid steel (G = 80 GPa) shaft with an allowable shear stress of t = 55 MPa. Determine: a) the minimum permissible diameter for aluminum shafts (1) and (2) b) the minimum permissible diameter for steel shaft (3). c) the rotation angle of gear D with respect to flange A if the shafts have the minimum permissible diameters as determined in (a) and (b).
