An insulated system contains two solid blocks in contact with each other; one hot and the other cold. After heat transfer over some time, thermal equilibrium is established in the container.
A piston-cylinder device contains 2 kg saturated water vapor at 600 kPa. The water expands adiabatically until the final pressure is 100kPa. And 1,465 kJ work is produced.
Suppose we want to estimate the average weight of adult males in greater metropolitan Atlanta area. We draw a random sample of 1,000 men from a population of 1,000,000 men and weigh them.
A cylindrical soil sample fails under an axial vertical stress of 160 kN/m^2, when it is laterally unconfined. The failure plane makes an angle of 50 degrees with the horizontal.
