Question
Tower AE is supported by guy wires AB, AC, and AD. If the tension in each cable is 1000 lbs,
[1] Calculate the components of tension in AB.
[2] Calculate the components of tension in AC.
[3] Calculate the components of tension in AD.
Note that the forces should be referred from point A. Hence, the direction of the tension forces is pointing away from point A.

- The left side of this equation tells how much energy Q the cylinder gives to the water while it cools. The right side of this equation tells how much energy Q the water and aluminum cup absorb from the cylinder to warm up. Because it is the same energy, they are equal. What is known in this equation?

- Using the information in Problem 1.22, estimate the ambient air temperature that could cause frostbite on a calm day on the ski slopes. 1.22 In order to prevent frostbite to skiers on chair lifts, the weather report at most ski areas gives both an air temperature and the wind-chill temperature. The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35W/mKis35C and the air temperature is 20C. Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about 20W/m2K (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to 75W/m2K. If frostbite occurs when the skin temperature drops to about 10C, do you advise the skier to wear a face mask? What is the skin temperature drop due to the wind?arrow_forwardTime (hours) 24 Order Step 1 Step 2 A 1.20 1.40 В 0.90 1.30 2.00 0.80 D 1.70 1.50 E 1.60 1.80 F 2.20 1.75 1.30 1.40 A wholesale grocery distribution system uses a two-step process to fill orders.
