One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges for Engineering is Provide Access to Clean Water. Only 5% of water is used for households-the majority is used for agriculture and industry. It is estimated that 528 gallons [gal] of water are required to produce food for one person for one day [d]. How many liters per year (L/yr] are required to feed one person?

A robotic rover on Mars finds a spherical rock with a diameter of 8 centimeters [cm]. The rover picks
up the rock and lifts it 25 centimeters [cm] straight up. The rock has a specific gravity of 4.75. The
gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.7 meters per second squared [m/s²]. If the robot's lifting arm
has an efficiency of 35% and required 10 seconds [s] to raise the rock 25 centimeters [cm], how
much power in units of watts [W] did the arm use?

- You have 4 springs, one each 3.5, 6, 8.5, 11 newtons per meter. How close an equivalent stiffness to the average of the four springs (7.25 newtons per meter [N/m]) can you make using only these springs? You may use all four springs to do this, but you may use less if that will yield an equivalent stiffness closer to the average.arrow_forwardT1- Ambient tempeture [k] t- inside tempeture [k] hoo-convective heat transfer coefficient of the air [W/m^2*k] t-thickness of walls[m] Kthermal conductivity (W/m-K) -(VIP) d-cube size [m] Ai-cube area inside [m^2] Ao-cube area outside [m^2] Ts-surface tempeture[k][ E-emissivity aluminium foil - Stefan Boltzmann constant W·m-2 K-4 303 290 10 0.08 0.007 1 6 6.96 300 0.03 5.67E-08 Q heat flux [W] ΔΤ ΣR F T₁ 111.0 0000 006%arrow_forwardConsider the piston-cylinder assembly shown below.

- A cylindrical pipe with a cross-sectional radius r = 1.40[cm] is plunged into a l = 2.30[m] tall open water drum that is initially completely filled with water (pwater = 1000 [kg/m3]). The pipe goes h1 = 0.35 [m] above the drum before dropping down h2 = 3.50 [m] below the base of the drum as shown. The cross-sectional radius of the top side of the pipe is R = 2.20 [cm].A. How fast is the water going out of this pipe?B. What's the liquid's pressure at the top of the pipe? Assume that the system is exposed to 1.00 [atm] of air pressure.C. What's the maximum height the pipe can go above the drum before the water stops flowing out of the pipe? For liquid flow to be continuous, the liquid’s pressure must not fall before its vapor pressure. Assume that vapor pressure, in this case, is 2.30 [kPa].arrow_forwardThe size of your classroom is 80 ft wide, 40 ft deep, and 12 ft high.
