A cantilever beam having square cross-section of side $$a$$ is subjected to an end load. If a is increases by $$19$$%, the tip deflection decreases approximately by

In the gear train shown, gear 3 is carried on arm 5. Gear 3 meshes with gear 2 and gear 4. The number of teeth on gear 2, 3, and 4 are 60, 20, and 100, respectively. If gear 2 is fixed and gear rotates with an angular velocity of 100 rpm in the counterclockwise direction, the angular speed of arm 5 (in rpm) is

A single degree of freedom spring mass system with viscous damping has a spring constant of 10 kN/m. The system is excited by a sinusoidal force of amplitude 100 N. If the damping factor (ratio) is 0.25, the amplitude of steady state oscillation at resonance is ________mm.

A solid disc with radius a is connected to a spring at a point $$d$$ above the center of the disc. The other end of the spring is fixed to the vertical wall. The disc is free to roll without slipping on the ground. The mass of the disc is $$M$$ and the spring constant is $$K$$. The polar moment of inertia for the disc about its centre is $$J = {{M{a^2}} \over 2}$$

The natural frequency of this system in rad/s is given by
