The two blocks of Figure 6.17 are attached to each other by a massless string that is wrapped around a frictionless pulley. When the bottom 4.00-kg block is pulled to the left by the constant force P, the top 2.00-kg block slides across it to the right. Find the magnitude of the force necessary to move the blocks at constant speed. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces is 0.400.

Design a wide flange W column 8 m in height to support an axial dead load of 1000 kN and a live load of 1200kN in the interior of a building. The column base is rigidly fixed to the footing and the top of the column isrigidly framed to very stiff girders. Assume that bracing is provided to prevent side sway in the weak axis/planeof the column (you don’t have to consider slenderness in this direction), but side sway is not prevented aroundits strong axis. Select an economical W shape.

Q.4 In an experimental setup, mineral oil is filled in between the narrow gap of two horizontal smooth plates. The setup has arrangements to maintain the plates at desired uniform temperatures. At these temperatures, ONLY the radiative heat flux is negligible. The thermal conductivity of the oil does not vary perceptibly in this temperature range. Consider four experiments at steady state under different experimental conditions, as shown in the figure Q1. The figure shows plate temperatures and the heat fluxes in the vertical direction. What is the steady state heat flux (in W m) with the top plate at 90°C and the bottom plate at 45°C? [4] 30°C 70°C 40°C 90°C flux = 39 Wm-2 flux =30 Wm2 flux = 52 Wm 2 flux ?

Electromagnetic Pulse propagating at oblique angle to a dielectric interface Consider a gaussian wave pulse propagating along the z-axis from region 1 with refractive index n1 and onto a dielectric interface y = m z (for all x). To the left of this dielectric interface, the refractive index is n2. Devise an initial value computer algorithm to determine the time evolution of the reflected and transmitted electromagnetic fields for this pulse. e.g., n1 = 1 , n2 = 2 initial profile (t = 0, with z0 < 0) Ex = E0 exp[-a (z-z0)^2] By = n1 * Ex Choose parameters so that the pulse width is at least a fact of 8 less than the z- domain of integration ( -L < z < L). For the slope of the interface, one could choose m = 1.
