20. The position x of an experimental rocket moving along a

long rail is measured to be x(t) = (4m/s)t + (7m/s 2)t2 +
(5m/s3)t3 (0.35m/s4)t4 over the first 10s of its motion,
where t is in seconds and x is in meters. Find the velocity of
the rocket for the first 10 seconds.
a. 43 m/s
c. 244m/s
b. 224 m/s
d. 2240 m/s
SOLUTION:
v = dx/dt = (4m/s) + (14m/s2)t + (15m/s3)t2 (1.4m/s4)t3

21. Early in the nineteenth century, James Watt invented the
steam engine. In order to convince people, who relied heavily
on horses for mechanical work, he demonstrated how useful
his steam engine was by utilizing a horse that lifted water from
a well over a certain period of time and called the
corresponding power expended one horsepower. Assume
that water has a mass density of 1.0 x 10 3 kg/m3, that the well
was 20m deep, and that the horse worked for 8 hours. How
many liters of water did the horse raise from the well? Use the
following constants: 1 hp = 746 Watts, g = 9.8 m/s 2.
a. 1.1 x 10 2 L
c. 1.1 x 103 L
b. 110 L
d. 1.1 x 105 L

The work done of the tension in lifting a mass of water is
given by:
W = m g y
Where: W = work, m = mass = pV, y = distance,
V = volume, p= mass density,

148. A steel rod 2.5 m long is secured between two walls. If the
load on the rod is zero at 20 degree Celsius, compute the
stress when the temperature drops to -20 degrees Celsius. The
cross-sectional are if the rod is 1200 sq. mm, coefficient of
linear expansion = 11.7 um/(m-deg.C), and E = 200 GPa.
Assume that the walls are rigid.
a. 69.3 MPa
b. 96.3 MPa
c. 93.6 MPa
d. 69.3 MPa
= (200x10^9)(11.7x10^-6)(20 - -20) = 93.6x10^6 Pa
= 93.6 MPa
149. Determine the maximum shearing stress in a helical steel
spring composed of 20 turns of 20 mm-diamter wire on a mean
radius of 80 mm when tha spring is supporting a load of 2 kN.
Use G = 83 GPa.
a. 110.6 MPa
b. 112.3 MPa
c. 120.6 MPa
d. 134.6 MPa
m = 80/10 = 8
= [16(2000)(0.08) / (0.02)^3]x{[4(8)-1]/[4(8)-4] +
(0.615/8)}
= 120.6 Mpa
150. Determine the elongation in a helical steel spring
composed of 20 turns of 20 mm-diamter wire on a mean radius
of 80 mm when tha spring is supporting a load of 2 kN. Use G
= 83 GPa.
a. 87.9 mm
b. 78.9 mm
c. 98.7 mm
d. 89.7
mm
= 64(2000)(0.08^3)(20) / [(83x10^9)(0.02^4)]
= 98.7 mm
