A cable is attached to a 2.00 kg block A, is looped over a fixed peg at C, and is attached to plate B. The coefficient of static friction between the plate and the block is 0.260, the coefficient of static friction between the plate and the inclined plane is
0.330, and the coefficient of static friction between the cable and the peg is 0.430. If the plane's angle is 30.0 degrees, what is the
maximum mass that plate B can have such that it does not slide down the plane?

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

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.

Asimple speed reducer is composed of 2 spur gears. the pinion gear has a pitch diameter of 0.75" and 36 teeth while the driven gear has a pitch diameter of 4.0" and 192 teeth. a)-what is the diametral pitch of each gear? b)-if an electric motor rotating ccw at 3000 rpm is coupled to the pinion, what is the rotational speed of the driven gear? c)-if the torque delivered to the pinion is 1 n-m, what is the torque on the driven gear? d)-what is the power transmitted by the gear train?
