An acetal polymer block is fixed to the rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. if the top plate displaces 2 mm horizontally when it is subjected to a horizontal force p = 2 kn ,determine the shear modulus of the polymer. the width of the block is 100 mm. assume that the polymer is linearly elastic and use small angle analysi

The magnitude of the poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.939 w/m2 . the wave is incident upon a rectangular area, 1.5 m by 2.0 m, at right angles. how much total electromagnetic energy falls on the area during 1.0 minute

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.

Consider a file currently consisting of 200 blocks. assume that the file control block (and the index block in the case of indexed allocation) is already in memory. calculate how many disk i/o operations are required for contiguous, linked, and indexed (single-level) allocation strategies, for each of the conditions listed below. in the contiguous-allocation case, assume that there is not room to grow at the beginning but there is room to grow at the end. also assume that the block information to be added is stored in memory.
