(a) Explanation Given information: The velocity ( v 1 ) of parachutist is in free fall is − 200 km/h . The parachute is open at an altitude ( x 1 ) of 600 m . From position ( x 2 ) 586 m to ( x 3 ) 30 m the parachute is descend at constant rate ( v 2 ) of − 50 km/h . Calculation: Convert the kilometer per hour to meter per sec. Consider the velocity ( v 1 ) : v 1 = 200 km/h × ( 1 , 000 m 1 km ) × ( 1 hr 3 , 600 sec ) = − 55.556 m/s Consider the velocity ( v 2 ) . v 1 = − 50 km/h × ( 1 , 000 m 1 km ) × ( 1 hr 3 , 600 sec ) = − 13.889 m/s Tabulated the velocity ( v ) corresponding to time ( t ) in Table 1: t (sec) v ( m / s ) x (m) 0 -55.556 600 t 1 -13.889 586 t 2 -13.889 30 t 3 -0 0 Plot the v - t curve of parachute as in Figure (1). Plot the x - t curve of parachute as in Figure (2). Calculate time ( t 1 ) using the relation: ( x 2 ) − ( x 1 ) = t 1 ( v 1 + v 2 2 ) Substitute 586 m for x 2 , 600 m for x 1 , − 55.556 m/s for v 1 , and − 13.889 m/s for v 2 . 586 − 600 = t 1 ( − 55 (b) To determine The initial ( − a ) deceleration.

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).
