One of the most important properties of materials in many applications is strength. two of the qualitative measures of the strength of a material are tensile strength and shear strength. the tensile strength of a material is the amount of force needed to pull the material apart perpendicular to a cross section, such as pulling on a rope. the shear strength is the amount of force needed to rupture the material when a force is applied parallel to the cross section, such as breaking a pencil overhanging a table edge. both tensile strength and shear strength have units of pressure, because they represent the force that must be applied per unit area in order to break the material. the importance of knowing the tensile strength and shear strength of a material is evidenced by the number of machines and companies specializing in determining these properties. many types of materials and objects are tested, from fabric and metal to nuts and bolts. it is always comforting to know that the tensile strength of the rope holding you above the ground can support your weight. shear strength needs to be found for bridges, the floors of multilevel buildings, and the joints where the wings join the body of an airplane. without the experimental determination of these properties, trial and error would be the only other method of determining these values, a process that would be dangerous to life and limb.

An engine, weighing 3000 n, is supported on a pedestal mount. it has been observed that the engine induces vibration into the surrounding area through its pedestal at the maximum operating speed. determine the stiffness of the dynamic vibration absorber spring in (n/m) that will reduce the vibration when mounted on the pedestal. the magnitude of the exciting force is 250 n, and the amplitude of motion of the auxiliary mass is to be limited to 2 mm note: in this question type-in right numbers, no decimals, no fractions, no unit. approximate to right number if needed

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.
