The hot water needs of a household are to be met by heating liquid water at 58[F] to 212[F] by a parabolic solar collector at a rate of 3.0 lbm/s. Water flows through a 3-indiameter thin aluminum tube whose outer surface is blackanodized in order to maximize its solar absorption ability. The centerline of the tube coincides with the focal line of the collector, and a glass sleeve is placed outside the tube to minimize the heat losses. If solar energy is transferred to water at a net rate of 300 Btu/hr per ft length of the tube, determine the required length of the parabolic collector to meet the hot water requirements of this house in [ft] or [m]. Also, determine the surface temperature of the tube at the exit in [F] or [C].

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.
