Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.5CQ
People sit on a Ferris wheel at points A, B, C, and D. The Ferris wheel travels at a constant angular velocity. At the instant shown, which person experiences the largest force from his or her chair (back and seat)? Assume you can neglect the size of the chairs—that is, the people are located the same distance from the axis of rotation.
- a. A
- b. B
- c. C
- d. D
- e. The force is the same for all the passengers.

Q. After a puncture a driver is attempting to remove a wheel nut by applying a force
of P KN to one end of a wheel brace as shown in Fig. 1. In cross-section the brace
is a hollow steel tube (see section aa) of internal diameter r mm and external
diameter q mm.

(a) Calculate (i) the twisting moment, (ii) the bending moment, and (iii) the shear
force in the brace at position S due to the applied load P.
(b) Calculate (i) the shear stress due to twisting, and (ii) the bending stress at
position S. Note that the shear force will not produce any shear stress at S.
(c) Calculate the maximum shearing stress in the brace at position S using the
Maximum Shear Stress Criterion.

the maximum torque that can be applied by the brace without the risk of
failure at S.

Refrigerant-134a is expanded isentropically from 600 kPa and 70°C at the inlet of a steady-flow turbine to 100 kPa at the outlet. The outlet area is 1 m2, and the inlet area is 0.5 m2. Calculate the inlet and outlet velocities when the mass flow rate is 0.65 kg/s. Use the tables for R-134a.
The inlet velocity is m/s.
The outlet velocity is m/s.
