Tech A says that failure analysis will assist the technician in determining whether it is more cost effective to replace rather than repair an engine. Tech B says that when an engine fails under warranty, the manufacturer may want it back for complete analysis of why it failed. Who is correct?

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false

The maximum shear stress and maximum flexural stress occur at the same location along a beam subjected to a non-uniform bending load. a)-trune b)- false

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?
