Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e. 20°С. Its width is 5.0 cm; thickness is 1.0 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m·K; and base temperature is 40°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2 .K. You can use Table 1(a) for assistance. (i) Estimate the fin temperature at a distance of 5.0 cm from the base, and; (ii) Calculate the rate of heat loss from the entire fi

Consider a cylinder rolling, without slipping, on an inclined flat surface (a ramp) that forms an angle  = 30 º with respect to the horizontal direction. An external force F = 10 N parallel to the ramp is pushing the cylinder in the uphill direction, without creating any torque (that is, the force is acting directly on the center of mass of the cylinder). If the cylinder is released at a time t = 0 with a linear velocity...
