The beam is supported by two rods ab and cd that have cross-sectional areas of 15 mm² and 9.5 mm², respectively.
determine the position d of the 6-kn load so that the average normal stress in each rod is the same. length of the road is 3m.

Thermal stresses are developed in a metal when its a) initial temperature is changed b) final temperature is changed c) density is changed d) thermal deformation is prevented e) expansion is prevented f) contraction is prevented

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature

Ifa component is made of two or more materials with different modulus of elasticity (e), it is called a composite member and we calculate the factor·n". mention the formula for calculating n". also, ifn> 1, explain what will happen to the 1. transformed. gi) ifn 1, what will happen to the material when transformed material when
