A mass of 35 kg is suspended from a weightless bar AC, which is supported by a cable CB and a pin at A as shown in Fig. below. The pin reactions at A on the bar AB are

The suspension system of a two-wheeler can be equated to a single spring-mass system with a viscous damper connected in series. Sketch the free body diagram and give the equations of motion. For a mass $$m = 50$$ $$kg$$ and a spring with a stiffness of $$35$$ $$kN/m,$$ determine what should be the damping coefficient (damping constant) for critical damping. What can be the damping force for a plunger velocity of $$0.05$$ $$m/s$$?

Consider an actual regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feed water heater. For each $$kg$$ steam entering the turbine, if $$m$$ $$kg$$ steam with a specific enthalpy of $${h_1}$$ is bled from the turbine, and the specific enthalpy of liquid water entering the heater is $${h_2},$$ then $${h_3},$$ the specific enthalpy of saturated liquid leaving the heater is equal to

The following data pertain to a single stage impulse steam turbine:
Nozzle angle $$=$$ $${20^ \circ };$$
Blade velocity $$= 200$$ $$m/s;$$
Relative steam velocity at entry $$= 350$$ $$m/s;$$
Blade inlet $$30;$$
Blade exit angle $$ = {25^ \circ }.$$

If blade friction is neglected, the work done per $$kg$$ steam is
