The vertical side of a water tank has a 1-m square gate hinged at 60 cm below its top edge, and the gate can open by rotating about the hinge outward only. what water depth above the top of the gate will cause it to open?

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.

The maximum shear stress and maximum flexural stress occur at the same location along a beam subjected to a non-uniform bending load. a)-trune b)- false

Analyze the factors that influence the choice between the following pairs of processes to make the products indicated: i) sand casting versus die casting of an electric-motor housing ii) thread rolling versus machining of a bolt for high-strength application. (co3/c5)
