A Spring Gun. A hydraulic press is used to compress a spring that will then be used to project a 22.0-kg steel ball. The system is similar, but smaller in scale, to the car jack illustrated in Figure 11.14. In this case, the smaller cylinder has a diameter of d₁ = 0.75 cm and has a manually operated plunger. The larger cylinder has a diameter of d2 = 10.0 cm, and its piston compresses the spring. The idea is that the gun operator pulls a lever that pushes the plunger on the small cylinder, which transmits a pressure to the larger piston that, in turn, exerts a force on the spring and compresses it. Once the spring is compressed, the steel ball is loaded and the spring is released, ejecting the ball. (a) If a force of 850 N is exerted on the primary (smaller) piston to compress the spring 1.30 m from its equilibrium (uncompressed) position, what is the spring constant k of the spring? (b) What is the velocity of the steel ball just after it is ejected? (c) Neglecting air resistance, what is the maximum range of this "spring gun"?

Please answer the following question A cigarettes dispenser requires a south African five-rand (R5) coin with a mass of 9.5 g to dispense one cigarette with a mass of 0.2 g. The design of such a cigarette dispenser is based on a helical spring, of negligible mass, which is found to extend 0.1 mm under a mass of 0.2 g. The spring can support a total mass of a coin. As the customer place money on the dispenser, the spring and coin system displace vertically through 4 mm and release. 1.1. Provide a schematic representation of the mass and spring system. 1.2. Calculate the frequency of natural vibration of the dispenser. 1.3. Determine the velocity of the coin when it is 2 mm below its resting position.
Ed, Edd and Eddy love to play on a seesaw. It consists of a 1-kg board with a length of 8 meters. One day, the other end broke down. They had to cut it by a meter and maintain the pin support in its original position. Then, they tried the seesaw altogether. Ed (m = 55kg) sat on one side about 3m from the pin while Edd (m = 40kg) and Eddy (m = 40kg) on the other side. If Edd was about 3m as well from the pin, calculate the following: The magnitude of the reaction force (N) exerted by the pin support on the board. Assume Eddy is in between Ed and Edd. (mass of board = 1kg) *no diagrams were provided

1.A rotor has an inner radius of 10.0 cm and an outer radius of 25.0 cm. It is fixed to a frictionless axle that goes through its center. The moment of inertia (I) of the rotor is 0.0235 kg m2. A set of 5 constant forces act on the rotor, as shown in the diagram below. (a) Find the net torque acting on the rotor, in units of Nm. Be sure to give both the magnitude and direction. (b) Find the angular acceleration of the rotor, in units of rad/s2. Give both the magnitude and direction. (c) Assuming it starts from rest at t = 0, how long does it take for the rotor to reach an angular speed of 565 revolutions pre minute (rpm)? Give your answer in seconds. (d) At t = 2.50 seconds, how many complete revolutions will the rotor have made?

If the temperature of a certain amount of gas is held constant, the absolute pressure of gas varies inversely as its volume without change of state, and if for certain amount of gas, the absolute pressure is 20 psi (pound per square inch) when the volume is 40 liters, then find the volume when the absolute pressure reached 32 psi. 4. The electrical resistance of a wire varies directly as the length and inversely as square of radius. The resistance of a certain piece of wire of length 100 feet and radius 0.02 inch is 300 ohms. Find the resistance of the wire of the same material 2500 feet long and radius 0.05 inch.
Q2. A shaft is supported by two bearings placed 1.2 m apart. A pulley of diameter De meter is mounted at a distance of 300 mm to the right of left hand bearing and this drives a pulley directly below it with the help of belt having maximum tension of 2.25 kN. Another pulley of diameter Da meter is placed 200 mm to the left of right hand bearing and is driven with the help of electric motor and belt, which is placed horizontally to the right. The angle of contact for both the pulleys is 180° and µ = 0.24. Determine the suitable diameter for a solid shaft, allowing working stress of 63 MPa in tension and 42 MPa in shear for the material of shaft. ASsume that the torque on one pulley is equal to that on the other pulley. ( Refer the text book link given via moodle. Follow Example 14.9).-
