In february 1955, a paratrooper fell 360 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, suffering only minor injuries. assume that his speed at impact was 60 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 80 kg, and that the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 x 10^5n.
(a) what is the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely?
(b) what is the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?

Athin electrical heater is inserted between a long circular rod and a concentric tube with inner and outer radii of 20 and 40 mm. the rod (a) has a thermal conductivity of ka = 0.15 w/(m*k), while the tube (b) has a thermal conductivity of kb = 0.8 w/(m*k) and its outer surface is subjected to convection with a fluid of temperature t= -15°c and heat transfer coefficient 60 w/(m2 *k). the thermal contact resistance between the cylinder surfaces and the heater is negligible. (a) determine the electrical power per unit length of the cylinders (w/m) that is required to maintain the outer surface of cylinder b at 15°c. (b) what is the temperature at the center of cylinder a?

Atension test was conducted on a specimen of aisi 1020 hot-rolled steel having an initialdiameter of 9.11 mm. representative test data are given in table1in the form of force and engineering strain. for strain the extensometer gage length was li= 50.8 mm. in addition, minimumdiameters were measuredmanually with a micrometer in the necked region at several points during the test. after fracture, thebroken halves were reassembled, and the following measurements were made: (1) marks originally 25.4 mm apart and on opposite sides of the necked regionwere 38.6 mm apart due to the lengthwise stretching in the specimen; (2) similar marks originally 50.8 mm apart were 70.9 mmapart; (3) the final minimum diameter in the necked region was 5.28 mma) determine the following material properties: elastic modulus, 0.2% offset yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, percent elongation, and percent reduction in area. b) assume that the test was interrupted upon reaching a strain u = 0.007, and the specimen unloaded to zero force. estimate the elastic strain recovered and the plastic strain remaining. also, what would the new length of the original 50.8 mm gage section. hint: might save time/effort to use excel, mathcad, matlab, etc. to solve part a)table1 data and analysis for a tension test on aisi 1020 hot-rolled steeltest dataforce (p, kn)1. 0.002. 6.673. 13.344. 19.135. 17.796. 17.217. 17.538. 17.449. 17.2110. 20.7711. 24.2512. 25.7113. 25.7514. 25.0415. 23.4916. 21.3517. 18.9018. 17.39engr. strain (ε)1. 02. 0.00053. 0.00104. 0.00155. 0.00236. 0.00317. 0.00508. 0.00709. 0.010010. 0.049011. 0.125012. 0.218013. 0.234014. 0.306015. 0.330016. 0.348017. 0.360018. 03660diameter (d, mm)1. 9.112. 9.113. 9.114. 9.115. 9.116. 9.117. 9.118. 9.119. 9.1110. 8.8911. 8.8912. 8.2613. 8.2614. 7.6215. 6.9916. 6.3517. 5.7218. 5.28
