Textbook Question

Chapter 19.1, Problem 19.18P

An 11-lb block is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed and vibrates with a period of 7.2 s. Knowing that the constant k of a spring is inversely proportional to its length (e.g., if you cut a 10 lb/in. spring in half, the remaining two springs each have a spring constant of 20 lb/in.), determine the period of a 7-lb block that is attached to the center of the same spring if the upper and lower ends of the spring are fixed.

Q Derive (continuity equation)? I want to derive clear mathematics.

motor supplies 200 kW at 6 Hz to flange A of the shaft shown in Figure. Gear B transfers 125 W of power to operating machinery in the factory, and the remaining power in the shaft is mansferred by gear D. Shafts (1) and (2) are solid aluminum (G = 28 GPa) shafts that have the same diameter and an allowable shear stress of t= 40 MPa. Shaft (3) is a solid steel (G = 80 GPa) shaft with an allowable shear stress of t = 55 MPa. Determine: a) the minimum permissible diameter for aluminum shafts (1) and (2) b) the minimum permissible diameter for steel shaft (3). c) the rotation angle of gear D with respect to flange A if the shafts have the minimum permissible diameters as determined in (a) and (b).

Use moody chart. Q2/ Assume a car's exhaust system can be approximated as 14 ft long and 0.125 ft-diameter cast-iron pipe ( = 0.00085 ft) with the equivalent of (6) regular 90° flanged elbows (KL = 0.3) and a muffler. The muffler acts as a resistor with a loss coefficient of KL= 8.5. Determine the pressure at the beginning of the exhaust system (pl) if the flowrate is 0.10 cfs, and the exhaust has the same properties as air.(p = 1.74 × 10-3 slug/ft³, u= 4.7 x 10-7 lb.s/ft²) Use moody chart (1) MIDAS Kel=0.3 Q3/Liquid ammonia at -20°C is flowing through a 30 m long section of a 5 mm diameter copper tube(e = 1.5 × 10-6 m) at a rate of 0.15 kg/s.
