Under the normal sign convention, the distributed load on a beam is equal to the:A. The rate of change of the bending moment with respect to the shear force. B. The second derivative of the bending moment with respect to the length of the beam. C. The rate of change of the bending moment with respect to the length of the beam. D. Negative of the rate of change of the shear force with respect to the length of the beam.

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Heat is added to a piston-cylinder device filled with 2 kg of air to raise its temperature 400 c from an initial temperature of t1 27 cand pressure of pi 1 mpa. the process is isobaric process. find a)-the final pressure p2 b)-the heat transfer to the air.

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.
