Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.6P
A 0.5-oz model rocket is launched vertically from rest at time t = 0 with a constant thrust of 0.9 lb for 0.3 s and no thrust for t > 0.3 s. Neglecting air resistance and the decrease in mass of the rocket, determine (a) the maximum height h reached by the rocket, (b) the time required to reach this maximum height.

HW8
A shaft fitted with a flywheel rotates at 650 r.p.m. and drives a machine. The
torque of machine varies in a cyclic manner over a period of 2 revolutions. The
torque rises from 650 N-m to 2200 N-m uniformly during 110° and remains
constant for the following 270°. It then falls uniformly to 600 N-m during the next
100° and remains constant for the end cycle, the cycle being repeated thereafter.
Determine the power required to drive the machine and percentage fluctuation in
speed, if the driving torque applied to the shaft is constant and the mass of the
flywheel is 180 kg with radius of gyration of 35 cm.

4. Steam flows steadily through a turbine at a rate of 47,000 lbm/h, entering at 1000 psia
and 800°F and leaving at 6 psia as saturated vapor. If the power generated by the
turbine is 3.7 MW, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam.
