A 20-ft ladder, weighing 40 lb, leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The lower end of the ladder rests on rough ground, 4 ft away from the wall. Determine the reactions at both ends.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit. explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.

Prove the equivalence between the two statements of the 2nd law of thermodynamics (i. e., a violation of one statement leads to the violatio the other statement)
