Question 1

A trunnion of diameter
has to be cooled from a room temperature of 80F
before it is shrink fit into a steel hub.

Figure 1 Trunnion to be slid through the hub after contracting

The equation that gives the diametric contraction, in inches of the trunnion in dryice/alcohol (boiling temperature is 108F ) is given by

Use two-segment Simpsons 1/3 Rule to find the contraction. (Try for Trapezoidal Rule)

Question 2
The force on a plate submerged vertically in a liquid is given by,

where

is the length (in meter) of the element of area (expressed in terms of ),

depth (in meter) of the element of area,

is the density of the liquid in

is the

and

are the depth of the top and bottom of the area (in meter).
Given that the area and length of a plate are measured as,

Use the Simpsons 1/3 Rule to estimate the total force on the plate,

i.

if it is filled with mercury given that the density of mercury is 133,000

(13 marks)

ii.

if it is filled with water given that the density of water is
