RC4 has a secret internal state which is a permutation of all the possible values of the vector S and the two indices i and j.

a. How many bits are needed to describe the state of RC4?

b. RC4 is a deterministic number generator: given its internal state, the output byte is uniquely defined. This means that the output of RC4 eventually cycles. Find an upper bound on the number of bytes that are output before RC4 will cycle.

Which of the following is an easy way to remember the modified “x” tire rotation? a. nondrive wheels straight, cross the drive wheels b. drive wheels straight, cross the nondrive wheels c. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels straight d. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels crossed

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.

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.
