A tank car with a hole in the bottom is dumping its load so its total mass as a function of time is given by m(t) = m,( 1 - sot), where a, and m, are constants. The car sits on a frictionless track and is attached to a spring with a spring constant KO.

What is the major difference between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics from the polymerization structure point of view?

Consider a 1.2 meter high and 2 meter wide glass window whose thickness is 6 mm and thermal conductivity is 0.78 w/m °c. the room temperature is maintained at 24 °c, while the outdoor temperature is -5 °c. the convective heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the window are 10 w/m2 °c and 25 w/m2 °c respectively. (a) draw the thermal resistance network, etermine the steady rate of heat transfer t e glass window (c) determine the temperature of the inner surface of the window

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg. a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
