In the following scenario, what could the engineers have done to keep the bridge from collapsing? The Tacoma narrows project required a bridge to be built over the Columbia river. The engineers accounted for aesthetic design by building a light roadbed.
Unfortunately, the cables were not designed to withstand high winds speeds and the bridge collapsed.

A. Build a prototype of the bridge design and suspend weights from it to test its strength

B. Research different ways to build bridge roadbeds

C. Write a report on the bridge ‘s aesthetic features

D. Build a prototype of the bridge design and perform tests in a wind tunnel

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.
