Three full-size 50 × 100-mm boards are nailed together to form a beam that is subjected to a vertical shear of 1500 N. Knowing that the allowable shearing force in each nail is 396 N, determine the largest longitudinal spacing s that can be used between each pair of nails. (Round the final answer to one decimal place.)

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false
