1. Strong winds during a thunderstorm suspend dust particles in the air, sometimes leading to dust storms. A dust particle 50 µm in diameter and density 1.7 g/cm³ has reached a height of 250 m after a wind gust. 1 - Assume that the motion of air around the particle is in the creeping flow regime. 2 - Assume that the particle reaches its vertical terminal velocity instantaneously. (b) Verify that the two assumptions are valid. To verify assumption 2, write the vertical component of Newton’s second law for the particle motion (F = ma) and use it to calculate the time that the particle needs to reach 99% of its terminal velocity. %3D

Q.1 A rod is made of wrought iron and is secured to the piston by a tapered rod and nut and to the crosshead by a cotter. Determine the diameter of a piston rod for a cylinder of 1.6 m diameter in which the greatest difference of steam pressure on the two sides of the piston is 0.27 N/mm². The length of the rod is 2.9 m. The modulus of elasticity is 212 KN/mm² and the factor of safety is 5.
A rod consisting of two cylindrical portions AB and BC is restrained at both ends. Portion AB is made of steel (Es5 200 GPa, αs5 11.7 310–6/°C) and portion BC is made of brass (Eb 5 105 GPa, αb5 20.9 3 10–6/°C). Knowing that the rod is initially unstressed, determine the compressive force induced in ABC when there is a temperature rise of 50°C.
