The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 5400 kJ/h per degree Cdifference between the indoors and outdoors. A heat pump that requires a power input of 6 kW isused to maintain this house at 21 C. Determine the lowest outdoor temperature for which the heatpump can meet the heating requirements of this house

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

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.

Shafts are machine elements that are used to a) carry axial loads b) direct shear loads c) transmit power d) rotate at constant speed e) none of the above circular and square shafts subjected to the same torque under the same circum behave a) the same way b) almost the same way
