Two identical springs of equilibrium length L and spring stiffness kare attached to opposite sides of a block of mass Mto two parallel walls a distance Dfrom each other, where D< 2L. The block moves horizontally along a rail with no friction. At what positions along the rail will the block be stable

An air bubble of volume 20 cm³ is at the bottom of a lake 40 m deep, where the temperature is 4.0°c. the bubble rises to the surface, which is at a temperature of 20°c.take the temperature of the bubble’s air to be the same as that of the surrounding water. just as the bubble reaches the surface, what is its volume?

What is the earliest point in the universe that we can observe? why can’t we see back further than this?

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
