A mass $$m$$ is attached to two identical springs having spring constant $$k$$ as shown in the figure. The natural frequency of this single degree of freedom system is

The radius of gyration of a compound pendulum about the point of suspension is $$100$$ mm. The distance between the point of suspension and the centre of mass is $$250$$ mm. Considering the acceleration due to gravity as $$9.81$$ m/s², the natural frequency (in radian/s) of the compound pendulum is _________.

In the Rankine cycle for a system power plant the turbine entry and exit enthalpies are $$2803$$ $$kJ/kg$$ and $$1800$$ $$kJ/kg$$, respectively. The enthalpies of water at pump entry and exit are $$121$$ $$kJ/kg$$ and $$124$$ $$kJ/kg,$$ respectively. The specific steam consumption (in $$kg/kW.h$$) of the cycle is __________.

The volume and temperature of air (assumed to be an ideal gas) in a closed vessel is $$2.87{m^3}$$ and $$300$$ $$K,$$ respectively. The gauge pressure indicated by a manometer fitted to the wall of the vessel is $$0.5$$ bar. If the gas constant of air is
$$R =287J/kgK$$ and the atmospheric pressure is $$1$$ bar, the mass of air (in $$kg$$) in the vessel is
