Afan draws air from the atmosphere through a 0.30‐m‐diameter round duct that has a smoothly rounded entrance. a differential manometer connected to an opening in the wall of the duct shows a vacuum pressure of 2.5 cm of water. the density of air is 1.22 kg/m3. determine the volume rate of air flow in the duct in cubic feet per second. what is the horsepower output of the fan?

When subject to a steady load (within elastic range) over a long period of time, what is the major difference in material behavoir between steel and plastic?

An engine, weighing 3000 n, is supported on a pedestal mount. it has been observed that the engine induces vibration into the surrounding area through its pedestal at the maximum operating speed. determine the stiffness of the dynamic vibration absorber spring in (n/m) that will reduce the vibration when mounted on the pedestal. the magnitude of the exciting force is 250 n, and the amplitude of motion of the auxiliary mass is to be limited to 2 mm note: in this question type-in right numbers, no decimals, no fractions, no unit. approximate to right number if needed

Asimple speed reducer is composed of 2 spur gears. the pinion gear has a pitch diameter of 0.75" and 36 teeth while the driven gear has a pitch diameter of 4.0" and 192 teeth. a)-what is the diametral pitch of each gear? b)-if an electric motor rotating ccw at 3000 rpm is coupled to the pinion, what is the rotational speed of the driven gear? c)-if the torque delivered to the pinion is 1 n-m, what is the torque on the driven gear? d)-what is the power transmitted by the gear train?
