Chapter 16, Problem 11RQ
Write a program to determine how long, in units of seconds, it will take a motor to raise a load into the air. Assume the user will specify the power of the motor in units of watts, the rated efficiency as a percentage (in whole number form — for example, 50 for 50%), the mass of the load in kilograms, and the height the load is raised in the air in units of meters. As a test case, you may assume the user provides 100 watts for the power of the motor, 60% for the efficiency of the motor, 100 kilograms for the mass of the load, and 5 meters for the height the load is raised.

Suppose you're converting a bill of materials for machining feedstock from the British gravitational (U.S. system) of units to International System (SI) units. Your goal is to have all of the material quantities in kilograms. Your bill of materials lists values for required weights of brass rod in pounds. To convert to these values to kilograms you first you divide by gravitational acceleration in feet per second squared to get a mass in slugs, then convert slugs to kilograms using standard conversion factors.

For Questions 3 and 4: A cup of water was heated to a
temperature of 90°. It was placed in a refrigerator that had a
temperature of 11°C. The water cooled to a temperature of
17°C in 30 minutes. Let the following variables represent
the relevant quantities.
L = Temperature of the liquid
S= Temperature of the surroundings
t = Time
B = Initial temperature of the liquid (Temperature at t = 0
k = Cooling constant
3. Using the Equation Solver, find the value of k in the
equation L = (B - S)e -kt + S. Remember to set the
equation equal to zero and then enter it into the Solver.
Box the final answer. Write legibly.
An adiabatic room (with dimensions, LxWxH) with the smallest side equal to 5.25 meters initially contains air at 18.25ºC and 1.025 bar. A total of 52.5 KW of heat have been added to double its temperature. Calculate the total time elapsed in minutes to reach that final temperature if the dimensions of the room have a ratio of 3:2:1, respectively.

- Some scientists believe that the collision of one or more large asteroids with the Earth was responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. The unit of kiloton is used to describe the energy released during large explosions. It was originally defined as the explosive capability of 1000 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT) high explosive. Because that expression can be imprecise depending on the explosive's exact chemical composition, the kiloton subsequently has been redefined as the equivalent of 4.186 x 1012 J. In the units of kiloton, calculate the kinetic energy of an asteroid that has the size (box-shaped, 13 x 13 x 25 km) and composition (density, 2.4 g/cm) of an asteroid. Kinetic energy is defined by U. = mv? where m is the object's mass and v is its speed. Objects passing through the inner solar system generally have speeds in the range of 20 km/s. (Express your answer using two significant figures.) Uk = x1011 kilotonsarrow_forwardQ1. The image below shows an example of "absolute dependent motion analysis", where the motions of two objects depend on each other, and the goal is to find the relations in their motions (i.e., in their positions, velocities, and accelerations). Please put the suggested steps of analysis in the correct order. VA A B VB Differentiate the entire equation with respect to time, and extract the relation in velocities. Repeat for acceleration if needed. Set up a coordinate (s) along the direction of motion from a fixed point (O) or a fixed datum line. Represent the positions of the objects respectively. In some cases intermediate objects need to be considered too and their positions need to be represented as well. Recognize the constant length(s) and find the depending geometric relations between the position variables.arrow_forwardPosted below is a picture of a data table and a diagram of an experiment. In the experiment you rolled a marble down a ruler ramp off the end of a coffee table to observe projectiles and conservation of energy. You do 3 trials for each initial height. Each height is measured in meters. h= initial height of marble off of table Y= height of table off floor X= horizontal distance marble goes from edge of table to where it strikes the floor a) use the table to find information you need to solve for theoretical range and % of error in measured range.arrow_forward
- Use your weight in pounds (while standing on the surface of the Earth) to calculate your mass in the following units (1 kg weighs approx. 2.205 lb on the surface of the Earth). Show all your calculation, how you cancel the units and use the correct number of digits to get credit. Use scientific notation. Weight in pounds = 200 mass in grams = mass in kilograms = mass in teragrams = mass in picograms =arrow_forwardA commonly used unit in everyday language to state weight is the pound (lb). There are actually several formal definitions of pound. One classification system defines a pound-mass (analogous to kg in SI units) and a pound-force (lbf) (analogous to a Newton); this is formally called English Engineering units but also commonly used in US Customary System units. The “pound” in the “pounds per square inch” of psi refers to pound-force. Hence, psi has units of force per area. Note that 1 lbf is defined as the gravitational force generated by 1 lb (mass) by multiplying it by the standard gravitational acceleration at the earth’s surface. Starting with just the two everyday conversion approximations every Canadian should know (1.00 kg ≈ 2.20 lb (mass) and 1.00 inch ≈ 2.54 cm), derive an approximation of 1.00 psi in Pa through unit conversions only (show each step).arrow_forward3) Body mass index (BMI) of a person is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. In U.S. customary units it is calculated by: BMI = 703" %D where W is the person's weight in pounds and h is the heights in inches. Write a MATLAB program in a script file that calculates the BMI. For input the program asks the user to enter his/her weight and height. The pro- gram then calculates the BMI rounded to the nearest tenth. For output the program displays the message: "The BMI is: XX." where XX is the value of the BMI. Determine the BMI of a 68-in.-tall person that weigh162 lb.arrow_forward

In the future, we may encounter a civilization from another planet. They will not use the Sl or AE systems of units.
