A team of professional thieves wants to knock down a castle wall using a primitive explosive. At theirheadquarters, they determine that the explosive has a mass of 40.0 kg and will break into three pieces: a 20.0 kgpiece will go exactly east, a 10.0 kg piece will go exactly south, and a 10.0 kg piece will go somewhere. Find thespeed and direction of the third piece of the explosive.
Find the displacement of point "P" (in mm) using quadratic shape functions, when the displacements of nodes 1, 2 and 3 are q1=0.10 mm, q2=-0.10 mm and q3=0.14 mm, respectively. Suppose that the values of shape functions are N1=-0.08, N2=0.36 and N3=0.72. (Hint: round your answer to 4 digits after decimal point) 1 x1 2 x2 * P 3 X3

A dog is pulling on his lead at an angle of 39 degrees with a force of 50 Newtons. What is the force downward? Newtons. What is the force horizontally? Newtons. Note: You can type the trig in the answer box for all these problems. For example if the answer is 50cos(10), you can just type that into the answer box. To get inverse trig functions type arcsin, arccos or arctan.

The plot below of load vs. extension was obtained using a specimen (shown in the following figure) of an alloy remarkably similar to the aluminum-killed steel found in automotive fenders, hoods, etc. The crosshead speed, v, was 3.3x104 inch/second. The extension was measured using a 2" extensometer as shown (G). Eight points on the plastic part of the curve have been digitized for you. Use these points to help answer the following questions. 1. 900 800 (0.10, 630 ) 700 (0.50, 745) (0.30, 729) 600 (0.20, 699) (0.40, 741.5) 500- (0.004, 458) (0.80, 440 ) - 400 (0.0018, 405) 300 D= 3.3 " 0.03" 200 G=2.0" 100 - 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 Extension, inches a.
