A vibration-isolation block is to be installed in a laboratory so that the vibration from adjacent factory operations will not disturb certain experiments. If the isolation block weighs 1000 lb and the surrounding floor and foundation vibrate at 30 Hz with an amplitude of 0.01 in. Determine the stiffness k of the isolation system, in lb/in., such that the isolation block will have a steady-state amplitude of only 0.002 in.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit. explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.
