Two people each have a mass of 55 kg. They are both in an elevator that has a mass of 240 kg. When the elevator begins to move, the people and the elevator have an upward acceleration of 1.00 m/s2. What is the net force that acts on the elevator as it accelerates upward at 1.00 m/s2?

Nitrogen (n2) undergoes an internally reversible process from 6 bar, 247°c during which pν1.2 = constant. the initial volume is 0.1 m3 and the work for the process is 121.14 kj. assuming ideal gas behavior, and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine heat transfer, in kj, and the entropy change, in kj/s. show the process on a t-s diagram.

Panel bc in fig. p2.76 is semi-circular, with the 3 meter radius and horizontal straight edge through point b. compute (a) the hydrostatic force of the water on the panel, (b) its center of pressure, and (c) the moment of this force about point b. assume atmospheric pressure on the dry side of the panel

You can watch static electricity in action by rubbing an inflated balloon against your hair. your hair will actually stand on its end! it does this because each hair becomes charged, and they all repel one another.
