Consider two flat circular plates (6 inch diameter), with honey filling a 0.05 inch gap between them. if it takes 1 lbf to start sliding the plates apart at 0.25 inches/sec, what is the viscosity of the honey? how does this value compare to published values of the viscosity of honey? how much power does it take to move the plate? (short answer format is ok for this part) if one of the plates was supported on edge, vertically, the other plate would start to slip down. how light would the free plate have to be for the plates to stick together indefinitely? yes, this is a bit of a trick question.

Line joining liquid phase with liquid and solid phase mixture is known as: a) liquidus b) solidus c) tie line d) none of the mentioned

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.
