Explanation The free-body diagram is shown in figure 1. The sum of the moments of the forces along AE must be zero. Σ M → A E = 0 λ ^ A E ⋅ ( r → C / A × T → C F ) + λ ^ A E ⋅ ( r → B / A × P → ) = 0 (I) Here, Σ M A E is the sum of the moments of forces along AE, λ ^ A E is the unit vector along AE, T → C F is the tension, r → C / A and r → B / A are position vectors and P → is the weight. Write the expression for λ ^ A E . λ ^ A E = A E → A E (II) Here, A E is the magnitude of the vector A E → . Write the expression of A E → . A E → = ( 480 mm ) i ^ + ( 160 mm ) j ^ − ( 240 mm ) k ^ Find the magnitude of A E → . A E = ( 480 mm ) 2 + ( 160 mm ) 2 + ( − 240 mm ) 2 = 560 mm Substitute [ ( 480 mm ) i ^ + ( 160 mm ) j ^ − ( 240 mm ) k ^ ] for A E → and 560 mm for A E in equation (II) to find λ ^ A E . λ ^ A E = ( 480 mm ) i ^ + ( 160 mm ) j ^ − ( 240 mm ) k ^ 560 mm = 6 i ^ + 2 j ^ − 3 k ^ 7 (III) Write the expressions for the position vectors

First monthly exam Gas dynamics Third stage Q1/Water at 15° C flow through a 300 mm diameter riveted steel pipe, E-3 mm with a head loss of 6 m in 300 m length. Determine the flow rate in pipe. 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.
