Chapter 15, Problem 1RQ
Create an algorithm to determine the weight of a rod in units of pounds-force on the surface of Callisto. Jupiter’s moon. You may assume that the user of the algorithm will provide the volume of the rod in units of cubic meters. Your algorithm may assume that the specific gravity is 4. 7 and the gravitational acceleration on Callisto is 1.25 meters per second squared. As a test case, you can assume the user has a rod with a volume of 0.3 cubic meters.

The ideal gas law relates the pressure P, volume V, absolute temperature T, and amount of gas n. The law is
P = nRT/ V
where R is the gas constant.
An engineer must design a large natural gas storage tank to be expandable to maintain the pressure constant at 2.2 atm. In December when the temperature is 4°F (- 15°C), the volume of gas in the tank is 28 500 ft3 . What will the volume of the same quantity of gas be in July when the temperature is 88°F (31°C)? (Hint: Use the fact that n, R, and P are constant in this problem. Note also that K =°C +273.2.)

- As4. This is my third time asking this question. Please DO NOT copy and paste someone else's work or some random notes. I need an answer to this question. There is a mass attached to a spring which is fixed against a wall. The spring is compressed and then released. Friction and is neglected. The velocity and displacement of the mass need to be modeled with an equation or set of equations so that various masses and spring constants can be input into Matlab and their motion can be observed. Motion after being released is only important, the spring being compressed is not important. This could be solved with dynamics, Matlab, there are multiple approaches.arrow_forwardI am trying to find a Direction Cosine Matrix (DCM) for the Euler angle body 1-2-3 sequence. I tried making my own function and using the MATLAB function, but the result is matrices that are not equal to each other. But, if I were to use the 'ZYX' sequence, I would get a matrix that is equal to the transpose of the matrix produced by my function.I mean that transpose(EA123toDCM) = E123toDCM if I changed the sequence to 'ZYX'. I never got two equal matrices. Can you fix my code so I would get two equal DCM matrices for the body 1-2-3 sequence? Also, for the E123toDCM line, I am using the sequence 'XYZ'. Is that correct or should it be 'ZYX'? I know that that for a DCM of sequence 1-2-3 = R3(theta1)*R2(theta2)*R1(theta3). Is ZYX sequence the same as a 1-2-3 sequence?

Using cadavers, it is possible to determine the mass of individual body segments (as a proportion of total body mass) and the center of mass for each segment (often expressed as a distance from one end of the segment). Finding the overall body center of mass can be a complex calculation, involving more than 10 body segments. Below, we will look at a simplified model that uses just six segments: head, trunk, two arms, and two legs. Search y X As a percentage of total body mass, the head is 10%, the two arms are 10%, the trunk is 56%, and the two legs are 24%. The center of mass for each segment is given as an (x,y) coordinate, both units in cm: head = (0, 165), arms = (0, 115), trunk = (0, 95), and legs = (0, 35). Assume the body mass for the individual is 88 kg and their total height is 180 cm.
