A 100 ft long steel wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.0144 in.2. When a force of 270 lb is applied to the wire, its length increases by 0.75 in. Determine: a. The stress (precision of 1000) b. The strain (precision of 0.00000) c. The modulus of elasticity of the steel (precision of 1,000,000)

The extremely high temperatures needed to trigger nuclear fusion are proposed to be generated by laser irradiating a spherical pellet of deuterium and tritium fuel of diameter 1.8 mm. (a) determine the maximum fuel temperature that can be achieved by irradiating the pellet with 200 lasers, each producing a power of 550 w. the pellet has an absorptivity 0.3 and emissivity 0.8.
