Fig_Q5 6. A steel rod is stressed by a tension force of 250 N. It is found that the rod has length of 45
m and diameter of 1.5 mm. If the modulus of elasticity of the steel rod is assumed as 2 x 105
MPa, determine the strain of the steel rod due to the applied force.

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 10.5, takes in air at 90 kpa and 40°c, and is repeated 2500 times per minute. using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and the rate of heat input if the cycle is to produce 90 kw of power.
