Assume that the axial member is in equilibrium and the applied forces are an unknown load F1, F2 = 14 kN , F3 = 12 kN , and F4 = 8 kN . Calculate the internal resultant normal force at section D. Express your answers to three significant figures in kN. View Available Hint(s)

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
