As a body is projected to a high altitude above the earths surface, the variation of the acceleration of gravity with respect to altitude y must be taken into account. neglecting air resistance, this acceleration is determined from the formula a=− g 0 [ r 2 /(r+y ) 2 ] , where g 0 = 9.81 m/ s 2 is the constant gravitational acceleration at sea level, r = 6356 km is the radius of the earth, and the positive direction is measured upward. with what velocity does the particle strike the earth if it is released from rest at an altitude y0 = 800 km?

Select any two (2) areas of applications of chain-drive. (clo4) a)-permanent lubrication necessary b)-hydraulic forklift truck operation c)-rigging and heavy moving materials d)-relatively high maintenance costs e)-costlier than belt drives

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg. m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
