Asteel column with a cross section of 12 cm x 16 cm is 4 m in height and is fixed at its base. the column is pinned at its top. the column's modulus of elasticity is 2.1 x 10 mpa. what is the maximum vertical load the column can support without bucking?

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

Ajournal bearing has a journal diameter of 3.250 in with a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. the bushing bore has a diameter of 3.256 in and a unilateral tolerance of 0.004 in. the bushing is 2.8 in long and supports a 700-lbf load. the journal speed is 900 rev/min. find the minimum oil film thickness and the maximum film pressure for both sae 20 and sae 20w-30 lubricants, for the tightest assembly if the operating film temperature is 160°f. a computer code is appropriate for solving this problem.
