The rod is made of A-36 steel and has a diameter of 0.24 in. If the rod is 4 ft long when the springs are compressed 0.4 in. and the temperature of the rod is 60 F, determine the force in the rod when its temperature is 120 F.
There are two springs on either side of the rod where the spring constant 1000 lb/in and the modulus of elasticity of the steel is 29000 ksi.

Agas mixture consists of 8 kmol of h2 and 2 kmol of n2. determine the mass of each gas and the apparent gas constant of the mixture.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?

Around steel bar, made from material with a yield stress of 750mpa, is loaded so that it has stresses co locations of maximum normal stress and maximum shear stress. use maximum shear stress and maximum distortion energy theories to calculate the safety factors for initial yielding failures.
