Find the lightest W(12 or14) shape, A992 steel, to be used as a 30 ft column supporting a factored load of700 kips. Assume the column is pinned-pinned with restraints in the weak axis direction at the thirdpoints. Include the available compressive strength of the selected column and indicate whether this is dueto elastic or inelastic buckling.

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

An electrical motor raises a 50kg load at a construct velencity .calculate the power of the motor, if it takes 40sec to raise the load through a height of 24m(take g =9.8n/g)

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.
