Revisit Example 6 from your Module 4 notes. Consider the well-insulated, rigid tank having a
volume of 10 [ft']. Previously, it contained saturated water vapor at 212°F at state 1. The water
was rapidly stirred until the pressure was 20 [lbfin'). In class we showed that the temperature at
state 2 was 445°F and the work done during this process was -31.3 (Btu].
Now, if insulation were removed from the tank, and the water is cooled at constant volume from
T2 = 445°F to T3= 300°F without stirring the water, determine:
a) The pressure at the state 3 in [Ibfin*), and
b) The heat transfer during the process in [Btu).
You have three springs. You conduct several tests and determine the following data.
Click the icon to view the provided graph.
Choose one correct spring or spring combination that will meet the following criteria as closely as possible. Assume you have one of each spring available for use. List the spring or spring combination and the resulting spring constant.
(a) You want the spring or spring system to hold 71 grams [g] and displace approximately 0.75 centimeters [cm].
The appropriate system is spring 2 and spring 3 in parallel with the stiffness of N/m. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

- We have obtained a contract to construct metal boxes (square bottom, rectangular sides, no top)for storing sand. Each box is to contain a specified volume, and all edges are to be welded. Eachbox will require the following information: A volume (V, in units of cubic inches), the length ofone side of the bottom (L, in units of inches), the box height (H, in units of inches), and thematerial cost (M, in units of dollars per square inch). To determine the total cost to manufacture abox, we must include not only the cost of the material, but also the cost of welding all the edges.Welding costs depend on the number of linear inches that are welded (W, in units of dollars perinch).
