A close tank contains 0.5 m of mercury 2 m of water, 3 m of oil of density 600 kg/m3 and there is an air space above the oil. If the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is 200 KN/m², what is the pressure of the air at the top of the tank?

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Air inially occupying a volume of 1 m2 at 100 kpa, 27 c undergoes three internally reversible processes in series. process 1-2 compression to 500 kpa during which pv constant process 2-3 adiabatic expanslon to 100 kpa process 3-1: constant-pressure expansion to 100 kpa (a) calculate the change of entropy for each of the three processes. (b) calculate the heat and work involved in each process. (c) is this cycle a power cycle or refrigeration cycle?

In general, how do thermosetting plastics compare to thermoplastics in mechanical and physical properties?
