(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

The weight in newtons of an object that has a mass in kg.

Answer to Problem 1P

The weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of 8kg is 78.5N_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The mass of the object is 8kg.

Write the conversion for the quantity.

8kg

Write the conversion formula.

kg=9.81N

Conclusion:

Convert the weight in newtons from kg.

W=8kg×9.81Nkg=78.5N

Thus, the weight in newtons of an object is 78.5N_.

(b)

Expert Solution

To determine

The weight in newtons of an object that has a mass in kg.

Answer to Problem 1P

The weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of 0.04kg is 0.392N_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The mass of the object is 0.44kg.

Write the conversion for the quantity.

0.44kg

Write the conversion formula.

kg=9.81N

Conclusion:

Convert the weight in newtons from kg.

W=0.04kg×9.81Nkg=0.392N

Thus, the weight in newtons of an object is 0.392N_.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

The weight in newtons of an object that has a mass in Mg.

Answer to Problem 1P

The weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of 760Mg is 7.458MN_.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The mass of the object is 760Mg

Write the conversion for the quantity.

760Mg

Write the conversion formula.

Mg=9806.65N

Conclusion:

Convert the weight in newtons from Mg.

W=760Mg×9806.65NMg=(7.458×106N)×106MNN=7.458MN

Thus, the weight in newtons of an object is 7.458MN_.

The two disks A and B have a mass of 4 kg and 6 kg, respectively. They collide with the initial velocities shown. The coefficient of restitution is e = 0.75. Suppose that (VA)1 = 6 m/s, (VB)₁ = 7 m/s. (Figure 1) Determine the magnitude of the velocity of A just after impact. Determine the angle between the x axis and the velocity of A just after impact, measured clockwise from the negative x axis. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of B just after impact. Determine the angle between the x axis and the velocity of B just after impact, measured clockwise from the positive x axis. (VB)1 B (VA)1 60° Line of impact
A hot plane surface is maintained at 100°C, and it is exposed to air at 25°C.The combined heat transfer coefficient between the surface and the air is 25W/m²·K. (same as above). In this task, you are asked to design fins to cool asurface by attaching 3 cm-long, 0.25 cm-diameter aluminum pin fins (thermalconductivity, k = 237 W/m·K) with a center-to-center distance of 0.6 cm. (Tip:do not correct the length). Determine the rate of heat transfer from thefinned structure to the air for a 1 m x 1 m section of the plate.
Heat is generated uniformly in a 4 cm-diameter, 16-cm long solid bar (k=2.4 W/m-K). The temperaturesat the center and at the surface of the bar are measured to be 210 oC and 45 oC, respectively. Calculatethe rate of heat generation within the bar. Solve the relevant energy balance equation and the boundaryconditions to calculate the rate of heat generation within the bar. (6 pts)
