Given a cube of sides 4 units with vertices: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H such that the top square is ABCD and the bottom square is EFGH with AC, BD the diagonals of the top square and EG, FH the diagonals of EFGH.

The shape of the cross-section formed when a plane containing line AC and line EH intersects the cube is the rectangle ACEH.

We obtain the value of line AC which is equal to line EH using the pythagoras rule which states that c^2=a^2+b^2, where c is the length of line AC, a is the length of line AB = 4 and b is the length of line BC = 4.

Thus, 
c^2=4^2+4^2=16+16=32 \\ c= \sqrt{32} =4 \sqrt{2}

Therefore, the shape of the cross-section formed when a plane containing line AC and line EH intersects the cube is the rectangle ACEH with length of 4 \sqrt{2} units and width of 4 units.

Area of a rectangle is given by
Area = length x width
=4 \sqrt{2}\times4=16 \sqrt{2} square units.

(a) Rectangle

(b)\ Area = 16\sqrt 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for cube

Solving (a): Cross-section formed when lines AC and EH meets

Lines AC and EH will meet midway of lines AE and CH

So, the shape that will be formed is quadrilateral and the sides of the quadrilateral is: AE, EH, HC and CA

Where

AE = HC = DG = 4

EH = CA

CA is the diagonal of the top face of cube.

So:

CA^2 = AD^2 + DC^2

So, we have:

CA^2 = 4^2 + 4^2

CA^2 = 16 + 16

CA^2 = 32

Take square roots

CA = \sqrt{32

CA = 4\sqrt{2

So, we have:

AE = HC =4

CA = EH = 4\sqrt 2

The cross-section is a rectangle

Solving (b): The area of the cross-section

Area = Length * Width

Area = 4 * 4\sqrt 2

Area = 16\sqrt 2

AE = HC = DG = 4

Solving (c): How the cross-section is determined

Copied from (a)

Lines AC and EH will meet midway of lines AE and CH

So, the shape that will be formed is quadrilateral and the sides of the quadrilateral is: AE, EH, HC and CA

velocity of the air at the inlet = 388.64 m/s

temperature = 368.92 K

cross-sectional area = 21.176 cm²

Explanation:

given data

pressure p1 = 200 kPa

temperature  t1 = 325 K

mass flow rate n = 0.5 kg/s

inlet cross-sectional area = 6 cm²

pressure of the air = 100 kPa

velocity = 250 m/s.

cp = 1.008 kJ/kg.K

solution

as we know that

mass = \rho A V     ..............1

and

pV = nRT    ..........2

so we can say

\frac{n}{V} = \frac{p}{RT}      ........3

so \rho = \frac{p}{RT}  

n = \frac{p}{RT} (AV)    ..........4

put her value we get

0.5 = \frac{200\times 10^3}{287\times 325} (6\times 10^{-4}\times V )  

solve we get

V = 388.64 m/s

and

we apply now here steady flow energy that is

n (h1 + \frac{v1^2}{2000} +\frac{gz1}{1000} ) +Q = n (h2 + \frac{v2^2}{2000} +\frac{gz2}{1000} ) + W     ..........5

here no heat and work

so Q = 0 and W = 0

we get here h1 - h2 that is

h1 - h2 = \frac{1}{2000} (v2^2-v1^2)     ..............6

Cp(T1-T2) = \frac{1}{2000} (v2^2-v1^2)

put here value and we get

0.008 ( 325 - T2) = \frac{1}{2000} (250^2-388.64^2)  

T2 = 368.92 K

and

for Area2 we put value in equation 4

0.5 = \frac{100\times 10^3}{287\times 368.92} (A2\times 250 )  

solve it we get

A2 = 21.176 cm²
