Explanation The function of the refrigerator is to remove heat from a cabin and reject the same to the surroundings. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the cabin and transforms its phase to a low-pressure vapour. The compressor of the refrigerator compresses this low-pressure vapour to high pressure and high-temperature vapour. The refrigerant then enters in the condenser. Hence the heat is transferred to the atmosphere. Then the refrigerant enters the throttle valve where pressure and temperature are dramatically reduced. The throttled liquid refrigerant enters the cabin for the next cycle...

A block of mass m hangs from the end of bar AB that is 7.2 meters long and connected to the wall in the xz plane. The bar is supported at A by a ball joint such that it carries only a compressive force along its axis. The bar is supported at end B by cables BD and BC that connect to the xz plane at points C and D respectively with coordinates given in the figure. Cable BD is elastic and can be modeled as a linear spring with a spring constant k = 400 N/m and unstretched length of 6.34 meters. Determine the mass m, the compressive force in beam AB and the tension force in cable BC.

Two squirrels are sitting on the rope as shown. The squirrel at A has a weight of 1.2 lb. The squirrel at B found less food this season and has a weight of 0.8 lb. The angles 0 and > are equal to 50° and 60° respectively. Determine the tension force in each of the rope segments (T₁ in segment, T₂ in segment Я, and T3 in segment DD) as well as the angle a in degrees. Ө A α B Note the figure may not be to scale.
