A diagonal aluminum alloy tension rod of diameter d and initial length l is used in a rectangularframe to prevent collapse. The rod can safely support a tensile stress of sallow. If d 5 0.5 in, l 5 8 ft, and sallow 5 20 kpsi, determine how much the rod must be stretched to develop thisallowable stress.

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i. e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

At very high pressures, gases become and will eventually a) more dense; become hotter b) more dense; change to a liquid or solid c) less dense; combust d) less dense; turn into a liquid
