Explanation Refer Fig. P5.130 and Fig. 1. A horizontal slice element is chosen with a thickness dy . Write the equation for area of the base of the pyramid. A base = k b 2 (I) Here, k = k ( N ) and b is the length of the base. Write the equation from the triangle in figure 1. s b = h − y h s = b h ( h − y ) (II) Here, s is the length of the element in the slice, y is the distance from the base of the triangle to the element and h is the height of the section. Write the expression for the volume of the slice using equation (I). d V = A slice d y = k s 2 d y = k b 2 h 2 ( h − y ) 2 d y (III) Write the expression for y ¯ of the volume. y ¯ V = ∫ y ¯ E L d V y ¯ = ∫ y ¯ E L d V V (IV) Here, y ¯ is the y coordinate of the centroid and y ¯ E L is the y coordinate of the centroid of the element. Write the expression for y ¯ of the element. y ¯ E L = y Conclusion: Calculate the volume using equation (III). V = ∫ 0 h d V = ∫ 0 h k b 2 h 2 ( h − y ) 2 d y = k b 2 h 2 [ − 1 3 ( h − y ) 3 ] 0 h = 1 3 k b 2 h (V) Calculate ∫ y ¯ E L d V for the volume obtained by rotating the shaded area

A punch press with flywheel adequate to minimize speed fluctuation produces 120 punching strokes per minute, each providing an average force of 2000 N over a stroke of 50 mm. The press is driven through a gear reducer by a shaft rotating 200 rpm. Overall efficiency is 80%. a) What power (W) is transmitted through the shaft? b) What average torque is applied to the shaft?

1.58 The crankshaft of a single-cylinder air compressor rotates 1800 rpm. The piston area is 2000 mm2 and the piston stroke is 50 mm. Assume a simple “idealized” case where the average gas pressure acting on the piston during the compression stroke is 1 MPa, and pressure during the intake stroke is negligible. The compressor is 80% efficient. A flywheel provides adequate control of the speed fluctuation. a) What motor power (kW) is required to drive the crankshaft? b) What torque is transmitted through the crankshaft?
