Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.

5. Car doors are easy to slam shut but difficult to press shut by hand force. The door lock as two latches, the first easily engaged, and the second requiring the rubber seal around the door to be quite compressed before it can engage. The rubber seal gives a spring constant of 50,000N/m at the lock position for the door, and the mass moment of inertia for the door around its hinges is 2.5kg- m². The distance between the lock and the hinges is Im. Calculate what force is needed to press the car door shut at the lock if a speed of 0.8m/s at the lock slams it shut.
