Aski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. the chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat three people. the lift is operating at a steady speed of 10 km/h. neglecting friction and air drag, and assuming that the average mass of each loaded chair is 250 kg, determine the power required to operate this ski lift. also, estimate the power required to accelerate this ski lift in 7 s to its operating speed when it is first turned on. the power required to operate the ski lift is kw. the power required to accelerate this ski life in 7 s to its operating speed is kw.

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.

Steam enters a converging nozzle at 3.0 mpa and 500°c with a at 1.8 mpa. for a nozzle exit area of 32 cm2, determine the exit velocity, mass flow rate, and exit mach number if the nozzle: negligible velocity, and it exits (a) is isentropic (b) has an efficiency of 94 percent

The characteristic roots of a dynamic system are: 1.7920 1.8160 i, -1.7920 1.8160 i, -0.4160 what is the order of this system? what are the settling time and damping ratio of the system?
