A mercury manometer is attached to a section of the pipe shown in the figure. Mercury levels are indicated when there is no water flowing through the pipe. When water starts flowing through the pipe continuously at constant rate in the direction of the arrow, the level of mercury at $$B:$$

The expected life of a ball bearing subjected to a load of $$9800N$$ and working at $$1000RPM$$ is $$3000$$ hours. What is the expected life of the same bearing for a similar load of $$4900$$ $$N$$ and a speed of $$2000rpm$$

A ductile material having an endurance limit of $$196$$ $$N/m{m^2}$$ and the yield point at $$294$$ $$N/m{m^2}$$ is stressed under variable load. The maximum and minimum stresses are $$147$$$$N/m{m^2}$$ and $$49$$$$N/m{m^2}$$. The fatigue stress concentration factor is $$1.32.$$ The available factor of safety for this loading is
