Vibration absorbers are used in railroad cars to protect sensitive loads from large acceleration due to periodic excitation given by rail links. For certain trains, the rail connection is 5 m. The car, when empty, has a mass of 25,000 kg. Two vibration absorbers are used, each having a mass of 12,000 kg. Absorbers for certain cars are designed to remove vibrations from the main mass when the car is loaded with 12,000 kg of cargo and moves at 100 m / s. The personal frequency of the uncarried carriage is 165 rad / s.

(a) At what speed will resonance occur in cars with a load of 12,000 kg?

(b) What is the best speed for carriages when loaded with 25,000 kg of cargo?

Markov Chains: A small town purchases salt by railroad-car loads to be used for melting ice and snow on the roads during the winter. One railroad car holds twelve tons of salt. The amount of salt used in any one storm depends upon the severity and duration of the storm. Past experience shows that, of the storms which are serious enough to call for any salt, some will require only one pass of the salt trucks, some will require two...

A rocket is fired from earth towards sun. Justify that acceleration due to gravity does not depend on mass of the rocket moving? Is the acceleration due to gravity on rocket at a point above earth, inversely related with square of distance of that point from earth? Explain shortly. Using the following data, how would you determine the point where the gravitational force on the rocket is zero? [ Note: neglect the attractive forces of other planets on the rocket]...

Smudge pots are sometimes used to protect orchards from frost. Two types of smudge pots are to be compared to determine which has the longest average burn time. Ten pots of each type are randomly selected for the study. These twenty pots will be lit and the burn time for each recorded. What is the appropriate type of analysis? a. One sample t test of significance on μ . b. Matched pairs t test of significance on μ . d...

With the decrease in gas prices, demand has shifted toward large cars and SUV's, away from hybrid cars like the Prius. Draw a graph showing the supply and demand for hybrid cars before and after the decrease in the price of gas. What do you predict will happen to the price of hybrids as the price of gasoline falls?
