    Calculate Bending Moment of Wooden Joist - 1.0 & 2.0 m

    3) A wooden joist of rectangular cross-section spans a gap of 5.0 m and supports a load of 30 kN placed 3.0 m from the right-hand end. The joist has a depth of 150 mm and the maximum tensile strength that it is allowed to withstand is 12 MPa. a) Calculate the bending moment 1.0 m and 2.0 m...

    Where Does the Energy Go When a Ball Becomes Embedded?

    Just working through a past paper atm, just need a hand with this one as well ha A ball bearing, of mass 200 g, is dropped from the top of a 200 m building; it falls to the ground and becomes embedded. (a) Describe the energy changes which take place. (5 marks) (b) What is the increase...

    Where Does the Energy Go When a Ball Becomes Embedded?

    Ive got this question but i don't know how to answer it. A steam boiler produces steam at a rate of 0.5 kg.s-1. If the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2.3 MJ kg-1: (a) What power is consumed to achieve this rate? cheers
