A polymer rod is tested to determine its viscoelastic response. The rod’s cross-section is square with the side of 5mm. The rod’s length before loading is 500mm. A tensile force of 500N is applied to the rod and the rod’s length under load was measured as a function of time. Instantly after applying the load, the rod is stretched to 508mm. After 24 and 48 hour under load, the rod’s length was measured as 550mm and 570mm, respectively. The load was then removedand the rod’s length was measured as 525mm after a long time after the removal of the force (consider this as the permanent length). Determine the parameters of the Burger’s model for describing this type of mechanical behavior.

Air flows through a heating duct with a square cross-section with 5-inch sides at a speed of 5.3 ft/s. Just before reaching an outlet in the floor of a room, the duct widens to assume a square cross-section with sides equal to 13 inches. Compute the speed of the air flowing into the room (in ft/s), assuming that we can treat the air as an incompressible fluid. Answer should be in Ft/s
