Consider geometrically similar animals of different linear size, l. assume that the distance an animal can jump, h, is a function of l, the average density rho, the average muscle stress σ (that is, muscle force over leg cross-sectional area), and the gravitational constant g. (a) find a nondimensional functional expression for h. (b) in swift’s gulliver’s travels, the lilliputians were a race of very small people, tiny compared to gulliver’s size. if the lilliputians had the same rho and σ as gulliver, what conclusions can you draw on dimensional grounds? would they jump higher than gulliver? the same height as gulliver? lower than gulliver?

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
