Understanding the Heat Engine Operation
A heat engine operates by converting heat energy into mechanical work. In this scenario, we have the following parameters:
- Heat input (Q_in) = 600 kW
- Power output (W_out) = 250 kW
- Heat rejected (Q_out) = ?
Calculating Heat Rejected
To find the heat rejected, we can use the first law of thermodynamics:

A rectangular block of dimensions 2 m × 1 m × 1 m is floating in the water with immersing depth of 0.5 m. What is the weight of block (kN) if unit weight of water is 10 kN/cubic meter.
  • a)
    5
  • b)
    10
  • c)
    15
  • d)
    20
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Buoyancy
When a block floats in water, it displaces a volume of water equal to the weight of the block. The weight of the water displaced provides an upward buoyant force that balances the weight of the block.
Given Data
- Dimensions of the block: 2 m × 1 m × 1 m
- Immersed depth: 0.5 m
- Unit weight of water: 10 kN/m³
Calculating the Vo
... more
1. Calculate the volume of the submerged part of the block:
- The submerged volume (V) = Length × Width × Immersed Depth
- V = 2 m × 1 m × 0.5 m = 1 m³
2. Calculate the weight of the displaced water:
- Weight of displaced water (W_water) = Volume × Unit Weight of Water
- W_water = 1 m³ × 10 kN/m³ = 10 kN
Weight of the Block
According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the block must equal the weight of the water displaced for it to float. Therefore, the weight of the block is:
- Weight of the block = Weight of the displaced water = 10 kN
Conclusion
Thus, the weight of the block is 10 kN, which corresponds to option B. This confirms that the buoyant force acting on the block equals its weight, allowing it to float.

The frequency of a spring-mass suspension becomes 60 percent of the resonant frequency when a damper is added to it. What will be the damping ratio?
    Correct answer is '0.8'. Can you explain this answer?

    Understanding Damping Ratio
    The damping ratio is a key parameter in the analysis of dynamic systems, particularly in mechanical vibrations. It is defined as the ratio of actual damping to critical damping.
    Resonant Frequency and Damping
    - The resonant frequency (ω_n) of a spring-mass system is given by the formula:
    ω_n = sqrt(k/m), where k is the spring c
