A uniform rigid slender bar of mass $$10$$ $$kg.$$ is hinged at the left end is suspended with the help of spring and damper arrangement as shown in the figure where $$K = 2kN/m,$$ $$C =500Ns/m$$ and the stiffness of the torsional spring $${K_\theta }$$ is 1 kN/m/rad. Ignore the hinge dimensions.

The un-damped natural frequency of oscillations of the bar about the hinge point is

The damping coefficient in the vibration equation is given by

A $$2$$ $$kW,$$ $$40$$ liter water heater is switched on for $$20$$ minutes. The heat capacity $${C_p}$$ for water is $$4.2$$ $$kJ/kg$$ $$K.$$ Assuming all the electrical energy has gone into heating the water, increase of the water temperature in degree centigrade is

An industrial heat pump operates between the temperatures of $${27^ \circ }C$$ and $$ - {13^ \circ }C.$$ The rates of heat addition and heat rejection are $$750$$ $$W$$ and $$1000$$ $$W,$$ respectively. The $$COP$$ for the heat pump is
