Apalindrome is a word or a phrase that is the same when read both forward and backward. examples are: "bob," "sees," or "never odd or even" (ignoring spaces). write a program whose input is a word or phrase, and that outputs whether the input is a palindrome. ex: if the input is: bob the output is: bob is a palindrome ex: if the input is: bobby the output is: bobby is not a palindrome hint: start by removing spaces. then check if a string is equivalent to it's reverse.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

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.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.
