An aluminum cylinder bar ( 70 GPa E m = ) is instrumented with strain gauges and is subject to a tensile force of 5 kN. The diameter of the bar is 10 cm. The Poisson’s ratio of the bar is 0.33. A Wheatstone bridge is constructed to measure the axial strain. Gauge 1 measures the axial strain and gauge 2 measures the lateral strain.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

Shafts are machine elements that are used to a) carry axial loads b) direct shear loads c) transmit power d) rotate at constant speed e) none of the above circular and square shafts subjected to the same torque under the same circum behave a) the same way b) almost the same way

How much power could a wind turbine produce if it had the following specifications? cp = 0.45 -d=1.2kg/m3 d=50m v 5m/s
