A massless, rigid board is placed across two bathroom scales that are separated by a distance of 1.89 m. A person lies on the board. The scale under his head reads 470 N, and the scale under his feet reads 334 N. (a) Find the weight of the person. (b) Locate the center of gravity of the person relative to the scale beneath his head.

The force it would take to accelerate an 900-kg car at the rate of 6m/s2

Ethanol has a heat of vaporization of 38.56 kj/mol and a normal boiling point of 78.4 c. what is the vapor pressure of ethanol at 14 c?

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. at the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kpa and 27°c, and 750 kj/kg of heat is transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-addition process. assuming constant specific heats at room temperature, determine (a) the pressure and temperature at the end of the heat-addition process, (b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle. (4390 kpa, 1730 k; 423 kj/kg; 56.4%; 534 kpa)
