Hey I am working with a group on a project where we basically have to design a boom arm for use in space. We've got most of the project figured out but there is a section where we have to determine the beam's deflection if the top side of the beam reached a 300 degree temperature while the...

Homework Statement Gas pours into your gas tank at 5.3 gallons per minute. You can't see it, but the gas level inside the tank rises at 4.3 inches per minute. What is the cross sectional Area of the gas tank? Is this realistic? Homework Equations I'm not sure what shape the tank...

Homework Statement I am supposed to see if there is a feasibility of producing power in the 0.1-0.25 kW range. I am working with a thermosyphon Rankine power plant. It is an open ended design problem My question is that I am getting hung up on finding the mass flow rate. My professor...

Oh, no no I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you guys weren't helping. The nudge was great and I appreciate it. My response was mainly just to justify titling the question the way I did.

I only titled it as such because the class is Thermodynamics. We have been learning pressure amongst a lot of other things. But I don't really have control over the flu, so stuff happens. Thanks though.

Homework Statement A tank is filled with 50 cm of oil (SG 0.8) overlaying 50 cm of water (SG 1.0). A pipe leads away at an angle from the bottom of the tank. If 2.13 m of the pipe is filled with water, what is the angle the pipe makes with the horizontal? Homework Equations I missed...

Perfect. Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you very much. I was able to solve the problem, but for study purposes, what is the significance of setting a k in there?

Homework Statement A fighter plane, which can only shoot bullets straight ahead, travels along the path r(t) = <5 - t, 21 - t^2, 3 - (t^3/27)>. Show that there is precisely one time t at which the pilot can hit a target located at the origin. Homework Equations I think I am supposed to...
