(a) Explanation Given information: The unit of mass flow rate ( m ) is m ( kg / h ) . The unit of height ( b ) is meter ( m ) . The unit of horizontal distance ( l ) is meter ( m ) . The unit of acceleration due to gravity ( g ) is m / s 2 . Calculation: Calculate the work done ( Δ U ) using the formula: Δ U = m g h Substitute m ( kg / h ) for m , b ( m ) for h and g ( m / s 2 ) for g . Δ U = [ m ( kg / h ) ] × [ g ( m / s 2 ) ] × [ b ( m ) ] = m g b ( N ⋅ m / h ) Calculate the average power ( P ) using the formula: P = Δ U Δ t Substitute m g b ( N ⋅ m / h ) for Δ U and 3600 s / h for Δ t (b) To determine Derive the formula in the SI unit for the power ( P ) in the unit of ( hp ) in terms of material flow rate ( w ), height ( b ) and horizontal distance ( l ).

Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. T…

1. A block with a mass of 1kg is initially at rest while held in contact with a compressed spring. The spring has a stiffness constant of 1000 N/m and is initially compressed by a length of 0.3 meters. Once the mass leaves the spring it will slide 1 meter across the surface of a table where u, = 0.2 is the coefficient of kinetic friction. There are no frictional losses while the mass is in contact with the spring, and there are no losses due to air resistance. Only losses are due to the interaction with the table during the 1-meter slide. The surface of the table is 2 meters above the floor. What is the speed of the mass just before it hits the floor? mass leaves spring 1 meter

An engineer wants to design a pendulum which consists of a uniform slender rod and a disk with a mass of m, (kg) and m2 (kg), respectively as shown in Figure 3.2. If the angular velocity w of the pendulum is 18.2 rad/s when it is released at rest from t= 0 s to t =4 s, suggest the mass of m, kg and m, kg of the slender rod and disk that he should use in his design. Noted that this pendulum will be subjected to a torque at M = (10t²)N. m and a constant force of F= 40 N (which is always normal to the rod) and the motion of the pendulum is in the horizontal plane. F = 40 N 0.84 m 1 m 0.35 m G M = (10t²)N. m kg = 0.5 m Figure 3.2 A pendulum

A person weighs 30 lb on the moon, where g = 32 ft/s2.Determine (a) the mass of the person; and (b) the weight of the person on earth. Convert the following: (a) 400 lb ft to kN • m; (b) 6 m/s to mi/h;(c) 20 lb/in.2 to kPa; and (d) 500 slug/in. to kg/m. The kinetic energy of a car of mass, m moving with velocity v is E = mv2/2. If m = 1000 kg and v = 6 m/s, compute E in (a) kN · m; and (b) lb ft. A differential equation is d^2/dt^2=Ay^2=byt where y represents a distance and 1 is time. Determine the dimensions of constants A and B for which the equation will be dimensionally homogeneous. Calculate the gravitational force between the earth and the moon in newtons. The distance between the earth and the moon is 384 x 103 Note: mass of earth = 5.9742 X 1024 kg, radius of earth = 6378 km, mass of moon = 0.073 483 x 1024 kg, radius of moon = 1737 km.
