Example 2
The particle has a mass of 0.5 kg and is confined to move
along the smooth horizontal slot due to the rotation of the
arm OA. Determine the force of the rod on the particle and
the normal force of the slot on the particle when 0 = 30°.
The rod is rotating with a constant angular velocity
2 rad/s. Assume the particle contacts only one side of
the slot at any instant.

A gas turbine cycle has two stages of compression, with an intercooler between the stages. Air enters the first stage at 100 kPa, 300 K. The pressure efficiency of 82%. Air exits the intercooler at 330 K. Calculate the temperature at the exit of each compressor stage and the total specific work required.
For problem 13, your answer should be the same as problem 12. Calculate the flow velocity and the heat transfer/area of the outer surfaces for both duct geometries to see the performance difference of the two designs.

- One end of a thin uniform rod of mass m and length 31 rests against a smooth vertical wall. The other end of the rod is attached by a string of length 1 to a fixed point O which is located a distance 21 from the wall. A horizontal force of magnitude F₁ is applied to the lower end of the rod as shown. Assuming the rod and the string remain in the same vertical plane perpendicular to the wall, find the angle 0 between the rod and the wall at the position of static equilibrium.
