- 1. The specific gravity of gold is 19.3. Write a MATLAB program that will ask the user to input the mass of a cube of solid gold in units of kilograms and display the length of a single side of the cube in units of inches. The output should display a sentence like the following one, with the length formatted to two decimal places.
Sample Input/Output
Enter the mass of the cube [kilograms] : 0.4
The length of one side of the cube is 1.08 inches.

- P3: A differential band brake shown in the figure below uses a woven lining having a design value of the friction coefficient f=0.20. Dimensions are b=80 mm, r=250 mm, c=700 mm, a = 150 mm, s=35 mm, and 0=240°. Find 1) the brake torque if the maximum lining pressure is 0.5 MPa, 2) the corresponding actuating force F, and 3) the values of dimensions that would cause the brake to be self-locking.

The top surface of the furnace is uniformly heated by a resistance heater. During operation, the top surface is measured to be 800 K and the power supplied to the resistance heater is 1750 W/m². The sidewall of the furnace is perfectly insulated with ε = 0.2. If the emissivity of the top and bottom surfaces are ε = 0.5 and > = 0.7, respectively, determine the temperatures of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the furnace.

- You are designing an industrial furnace to keep pieces of sheet metal at a fixed temperature. You decide a long, hemispherical furnace will be the best choice. The hemispherical portion is built from insulating brick to reflect the radiation from a ceramic plate onto the sheet metal and the ceramic plate is heated by gas burners from below. An insulating wall prevents direct transmission of radiative energy from the ceramic plate to the sheet metal. The radius of the hemisphere is 1 m and the rest of the system properties can be found in the table below. You may neglect convection during your analysis. Temperature Emissivity Ceramic Plate 1600 K ε = 0.85 Sheet Metal 500 K Insulating Brick unknown € = 1 ε = 0.6 a) Calculate the required heat input, in W, per unit length of the furnace (out of the page) that must be supplied by the gas burners to maintain the specified temperatures. b) What is the temperature of the insulating brick surface?

These sensors are used to estimate the coefficient of drag CD of the aircraft. For this purpose, the aircraft was flown under cruise condition at a constant speed, maintaining a constant altitude and the airspeed was recorded as V=10 [m/s]. A battery voltage of E=11.1 [V] and current draw i= 1[A] was also recorded. Prior to take off the weight of the aircraft was recorded using a scale as 0.8 [N] ± 0.03 [N], and the planform area S of the aircraft was found using a CAD model as 0.35 [m^2]. The air density p relevant to flight conditions was found to be p =1.225 [kg/m^3] and the propulsion efficiency was found to be 0.4. The coefficient of drag CD for cruise flight is governed by the following equation. Provide the…arrow_forward
