Chapter 19.3, Problem 15CC
Consider the following table of values. Determine the formulae to represent columns A through J. In some cases, the formulae in rows 1–10 will be similar. In other cases, the entry in the first row will be a number rather than a formula. Create a for loop to display the values; use tabs in a formatted fprintf statement to create each column.

6/86 The connecting rod AB of a certain internal-combustion engine weighs 1.2 lb with mass center at G
and has a radius of gyration about G of 1.12 in. The piston and piston pin A together weigh 1.80 lb. The
engine is running at a constant speed of 3000 rev/min, so that the angular velocity of the crank is
3000(2)/60 = 100л rad/sec. Neglect the weights of the components and the force exerted by the gas in
the cylinder compared with the dynamic forces generated and calculate the magnitude of the force on the
piston pin A for the crank angle 0 = 90°. (Suggestion: Use the alternative moment relation, Eq. 6/3, with B
as the moment center.)

PROBLEM 6/86
6/85 In a study of head injury against the instrument panel of a car during sudden or crash stops where
lap belts without shoulder straps or airbags are used, the segmented human model shown in the figure is
analyzed. The hip joint O is assumed to remain fixed relative to the car, and the torso above the hip is
treated as a rigid body of mass m freely pivoted at O. The center of mass of the torso is at G with the initial
position of OG taken as vertical. The radius of gyration of the torso about O is ko. If the car is brought to a
sudden stop with a constant deceleration a, determine the speed v relative to the car with which the
model's head strikes the instrument panel. Substitute the values m = 50 kg, 7 = 450 mm, r = 800 mm, ko
= 550 mm, 0 = 45°, and a = 10g and compute v.
Answer
v = 11.73 m/s

- A group of 23 power transistors, dissipating 2 W each, are to be cooled by attaching them to a black-anodized square aluminum plate and mounting the plate on the wall of a room at 30°C. The emissivity of the transistor and the plate surfaces is 0.9. Assuming the heat transfer from the back side of the plate to be negligible and the temperature of the surrounding surfaces to be the same as the air temperature of the room, determine the length of the square plate if the average surface temperature of the plate is not to exceed 50°C. Start the iteration process with an initial guess of the size of the plate as 43 cm. The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature of (Ts + T)/2 = (50 + 30)/2 = 40°C are k = 0.02662 W/m·°C, ν = 1.702 × 10–5 m2 /s, Pr = 0.7255, and β = 0.003195 K–1.

- Hot water is flowing at an average velocity of 5.82 ft/s through a cast iron pipe (k=30 Btu/h-ft-°F) whose inner and outer diameters are 1.0 in and 1.2 in, respectively. The pipe passes through a 50-ft-long section of a basement whose temperature is 60°F. The emissivity of the outer surface of the pipe is 0.5, and the walls of the basement are also at about 60°F. If the inlet temperature of the water is 150°F and the heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the pipe is 30 Btu/h-ft².°F, determine the temperature drop of water as it passes through the basement. Evaluate air properties at a film temperature of 105°C and 1 atm pressure. The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature of (Ts+ T∞)/2 = (150+60)/2 = 105°F are k=0.01541 Btu/h-ft-°F. v=0.1838 × 10-3 ft2/s, Pr = 0.7253, and ẞ = 0.00177R-1arrow_forwardhand-written solutions only, please. correct answers upvoted!arrow_forwardhand-written solutions only, please. correct answers upvoted!arrow_forward
