Nitrogen has a specific volume of 0.25 m3/kg. Using both the ideal gas law and van der Waals equation, tabulate the temperature of the nitrogen for pressures varying between 250 kPa and 2500 kPa, and plot the difference between the two values as a function of pressure.

Given: v = 0.25 m3/kg, N2 What will be an ideal response?

A uniformly distributed load on beam ABC in Figure P6.9 causes it to sag. To counteract this sag, a cable and post are added beneath the beam. The cable is tensioned until the force in the post causes a moment equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction, to the moment in the beam. Determine the forces in the cable and the post, and determine the reactions at A and C.
