A pressure vessel of 250-mm inner diameter and 6-mm wall thickness is fabricated from a 1.2-m section of spirally welded pipe AB and is equipped with two rigid end plates. the gage pressure inside the vessel is 2 MPa, and 45-kN centric axial forces P and P' are applied to the end plates. Determine a) the normal stress perpendicular to the weld b) the shearing stress parallel to the weld.

Different types of steels contain different elements that alter the characteristics of the steel. for each of the following elements, explain what the element does when alloyed with steel.

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?

Agas is compressed from vi 0.3 m, p 1 bar to of v2 0.1 m3, p2--3 bar. pressure and volume are related linearly during the process. for the gas, find the work, in kj.
