Using the brittle Coulomb-Mohr and modified-Mohr theories, determine the factor of safety for the following states of plane stress. (a) σx = 25 kpsi, σy = 15 kpsi (b) σx = 15 kpsi, σy = –15 kpsi (c) σx = 20 kpsi, τxy = –10 kpsi (d) σx = –15 kpsi, σy = 10 kpsi, τxy = –15 kpsi (e) σx = –20 kpsi, σy = –20 kpsi, τxy = –15 kpsi

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
