A member in bending due to the 40 lbforce at the right end is to be sized. Say the thickness is 0.25 in, but the height in the plane is to be determined. Let the maximum allowable bending stress be 12,000 psi. Consider three cross-sections: (a) midway between the supports, (b) at the roller, and (c) midway between the roller and the load at the end. For each cross-secti

On a average work day more than work place firs are reorted

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.

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet
