You complain about fire safety to the landlord of your high-rise apartment building. he is willing to install an evacuation device if it is cheap and reliable, and he asks you to design it. your proposal is to mount a large wheel (radius 0.400 m) on an axle at its center and wrap a long, light rope around the wheel, with the free end of the rope hanging just past the edge of the roof. residents would evacuate to the roof and, one at a time, grasp the free end of the rope, step off the roof, and be lowered to the ground below. (ignore friction at the axle.) you want a 90.0-kg person to descend with an acceleration of g> 4. (a) if the wheel can be treated as a uniform disk, what mass must it have? (b) as the person descends, what is the tension in the rope?

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.

Asteel tube (k=50 w/mk) of inner and outer diameter di = 20mm and do=26mm, respectively, is used to transfer heat from hot gases flowing over the tube (h-hot = 200w/m2k) to cold water flowing through the tube (h-cold = 8000 w/m2k). what is the cold-side overall heat transfer coefficient uc? to enhance heat transfer 16 straight fins of rectangular profile are installed longitudinally along the outer surface of the tube. the fins are equally spaced around the circumference of the tube, each having a thickness of 2mm and a length of 15mm. what is the corresponding overall heat transfer coefficient uc? *solve for uc in both cases*
