When two pumps are both operating, the sound pressure level at a distance of 10 m from the pumps is 101.8 dB. When pump A is turned off (only pump B operating), the measured sound pressure level at 10 m from the pumps is 97.0 dB. Determine the sound pres- sure level when pump B is turned off and only pump A is operating. The sound waves are radiated through air at 228C (205.2K or 728F) and 101.3 kPA (14.7 psia).

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.

The higher the astm grain-size number, the coarser the grain is. a)-true b)-false

Slip occurs via two partial dislocations because of (a) the shorter path of the partial dislocation lines; (b) the lower energy state through partial dislocations; (c) the charge balance.
