A composite plane wall consists of a 5-in.-thick layer of insulation (ks = 0.029 Btu/h*ft*°R) and a 0.75-in.-thick layer of siding (ks = 0.058 Btu/h*ft*°R). The inner temperature of the insulation is 67°F. The outer temperature of the siding is -8°F.

Determine at steady state:

(a) the temperature at the interface of the two layers, in °F, and (b) the rate of heat transfer through the wall in Btu/h*ft^2 of surface area.

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.
