Explanation Given Information: The distance d is 0.75 ft. The unstretched length of the spring is 1 ft. Assumptions: Consider the state of member as tension where the force is pulling the member and as compression where the force is pushing the member. Consider the force indicating right side as positive and left side as negative in horizontal components of forces. Consider the force indicating upside is taken as positive and downside as negative in vertical components of forces. Consider clockwise moment as negative and anti-clock wise moment as positive wherever applicable. Apply the Equation of equilibrium wherever applicable. Spring force: Determine the elongation of the spring, x using the equation. x = 2 d − Unstretched length (I) Determine the spring force using the equation. F s = k x (II) Here, the stiffness is k and the elongation is x . Conclusion: Substitute 0.75 ft for d and 1 ft for unstretched length in Equation (I). x = 2 ( 0.75 ) − 1 = 0.5 ft Substitute 150 lb/ft for k and 0.5 ft for x in Equation (II). F s = 150 × 0.5 F s = 75 lb Joint B : Show the free body diagram of the joint B as in Figure (1). Using Figure (1), Determine the value of θ : sin θ = Opposite side Hypotenuse (III) Along the vertical direction: Determine the force in the members AB and BC by resolving the vertical component of forces. ∑ F y = 0 F A B sin θ 1 + F B C sin θ 2 − F s = 0 (IV) Along the horizontal direction: Determine the force in the members AB and BC b resolving the horizontal component of forces. ∑ F x = 0 F A B cos θ 1 − F B C cos θ 2 = 0 (V) Conclusion: Substitute 0.75 ft for opposite side and 1 ft for hypotenuse in Equation (III). sin θ 1 = 0 .75 1 θ 1 = 48.59 ° Substitute 0.75 ft for opposite side and 1 ft for hypotenuse in Equation (III). sin θ 2 = 0 .75 1 θ 2 = 48.59 ° Substitute 48.59 ° for θ 1 , 48.59 ° for θ 2 , and 75 lb for F s in Equation (IV). F A B sin 48.59 ° + F B C sin 48.59 ° − 75 = 0 0.75 F A B + 0.75 F B C = 75 F A B + F B C = 100 (VI) Substitute 48.59 ° for θ 1 and 48.59 ° for θ 2 in Equation (V)

During a picnic on a hot summer day, all the cold drinks disappear quickly, and the only available drinks are those at the ambient temperature of 85°F. In an effort to cool a 12- fluid-oz drink in a can, a person grabs the can and starts shaking it in the iced water of the chest at 32°F. Using the properties of water for the drink, determine the mass of ice that will melt by the time the canned drink cools to 37°F. The density and specific heat of water at the average temperature of (85+37)/2 = 61ºF are ρ = 62.3 lbm/ft3 and cp = 1.0 Btu/lbmºF (Table A-3E). The heat of fusion of water is 143.5 Btu/lbm. The mass of ice that will melt by the time the canned drink cools to 37°F is lbm.

Steam enters a nozzle at 400°C and 800 kPa with a velocity of 10 m/s and leaves at 375°C and 400 kPa while losing heat at a rate of 26.5 kW. For an inlet area of 800 cm2, determine the velocity and the volume flow rate of the steam at the nozzle exit. Use steam tables. At the left side of the lines, 800 kilo Pascal, 400 degree Centigrade, 10 meters per second are shown. At the right side of the lines, 400 kilo Pascal, 375 degree Centigrade are shown. The velocity of the steam at the nozzle exit is m/s. The volume flow rate of the steam at the nozzle exit is m3/s.

A saturated liquid–vapor mixture of water, called wet steam, in a steam line at 1450 kPa is throttled to 50 kPa and 100°C. What is the quality in the steam line? Use data from the steam tables. Above the right side of the tube, 50 kilos 100 degree Centigrade indicated. The quality in the steam line is .
