Help please A thin walled cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal pressure which varies from 750 KPa to 3550 KPa continuously. The diameter of the shell is 1.5 m. Find the required thickness of the cylinder wall based on yield point of 480 MPa, net endurance limit of 205 MPa and a factor of safety of 2.5. A camshaft 19 mm. in diameter is mounted on ball bearings and carries a cam midway from the bearings. The follower, which weighs 2.8 KN, is out of adjustment so that impact is produced when it is contacted by the cam. The height h of fall equals 0.254 mm. The shaft is made of AISI C1045 steel. Determine the maximum bending stress in the shaft.

P3.5 The sales revenue, food cost of sales, and guests served for a small fast- food carryout division of a restaurant for the past six months are given below. Sales Month Cost of Revenue Guests Served Sales, Food 1 2. 4 $258,200 274,800 285,600 289,400 298,300 304,600 $ 96,200 104,300 110,500 113,100 118,900 123,700 10,200 10,400 10,300 10,100 10,400 10,500 6 For each of the six months calculate average check and average costs of sales food. Using these averages, calculate an index number. Set the in- dex for month 1 at 100 and complete index numbers for the remaining five months. With the index numbers identified, convert sales revenue and cost of sales food from historic to current dollars.

A cylindrical rock sample has a length of 6 cm, a diameter of 4 cm, and a dry weight of 166.4 g. When fully saturated with an oil of density 0.85 g/cm3, the weight of this sample is 176.9 g. Assuming constant temperature, find: i) The porosity of the sample ii) The pore compressibility of the sample, given that 0.2 cm of oil leaves the sample when a pressure of 3200 psig is applied on it iii) The amount of oil that can be extracted from the sample when a pressure of 2000 psig is applied on it
