A box having a mass of 0.2 kg is dragged across a horizontal floor by means of a rope tied on the front of it. The coefficient of sliding friction
between the box and the floor is 0.2. If the angle between the rope and
the floor is 15º, what force must be exerted on the rope to move the box
at constant speed.

Agalvanometer has an internal resistance of 100 ω and deflects full-scale at 2.00 ma. what size resistor should be added to the galvanometer to convert it to a milliammeter capable of reading up to 4.00 ma, and how should this resistor be connected to the galvanometer?

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
