How does mining relate to geotechnical engineering

Shafts are machine elements that are used to a) carry axial loads b) direct shear loads c) transmit power d) rotate at constant speed e) none of the above circular and square shafts subjected to the same torque under the same circum behave a) the same way b) almost the same way

Aload of 10kn is to be suddenly applied to the free end of a vertical rod of length 500 mm, the upper end being rigidly fixed. 190 mechanical science what should the diameter of the rod be if the maximum stress in the rod is not to exceed 100 mpa? the tensile modulus of the rod is 205 gpa.

Steam enters a converging-diverging nozzle at 1.0 mpa and 500°c with a negligible velocity at a mass flow rate of 2.5 kg/s, and it exits at a pressure of 200 kpa. assuming the flow through the nozzle to be isentropic, determine: the exit area and (a) (b) the exit mach number
