Steam with a velocity of 600 m/s enters an impulse turbine row of blades at an angle of 25° to the plane of rotation of the blades. the mean blade speed is 225 m/s and the exit angle from the blades is 30 deg . there is a 10% loss in relative velocity due to friction in the blades. construct the velocity triangle diagram and determine: (a) the entry angle of the blade (b) the specific energy transferred per second

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
