Concept explainers
For the following computer problems, any appropriate software may be used. Input prompts should fully explain what is required of the user (the program should be user-friendly). The resulting output should be well labeled and self-explanatory. For spreadsheet problems, any appropriate software may be used.
7.17 Use a spreasheet program to solve for the centroid location of built-up areas such as shown in Problem 7.12 and 7.28. The user should be able to input the appropriate geometric properties for any shapes of the types shown, and the program should then determine the centroid location and display the result. Vary a single shape or dimension and observe how the location of the centroid is affected.

- The steel cylinder with a cylindrical hole is connected to the copper cone. Find the center of gravity of the assembly. The weight densities of steel and copper are 489lb/ft3 and 556lb/ft3, respectively.arrow_forwardPart 2 Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant, and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide and spring types. Set up your spreadsheet as shown below. You can fill in the "Acceptable?" column manually, rather than using a formula. Turn in a copy of your spreadsheet/Matlab work (solve for $) Friction Spring Constant Spring Compression M k 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 50 100 150 50 100 150 4 Part 3 Your boss has decided to look at a second option. The spring mechanism will be replaced by a drop box. After leaving the slide, the blocks will travel 5 horizontal feet through the air and pass through a hole into the drop box. Using the slide you selected above, determine how far below the slide (h) to place the hole in the drop box. Yo = 5.2017/5 BLADE 2 RAMPE SLIDE 8⁰ SLIDE Acceptable?

Your division is tasked with providing computer-based modeling and design solutions using computational fluid dynamics through ANSYS software. Your primary responsibilities involve the analysis of horizontal channel dynamics to meet specific criteria. Under the guidance of your immediate supervisor, you have been assigned unique responsibilities within an ongoing project. As a member of the research team, your role includes constructing an appropriate model and executing a sequence of simulation iterations to explore and enhance channel performance. Figure 1 provides a visualization of the horizontal channel under consideration. Consider 2D, incompressible, steady flow in a horizontal channel at a Reynolds number of 150. The schematic below illustrates the channel flow, not drawn to scale. For simplicity, neglect gravity. The…arrow_forward
