A sign (including its post and base) weighs 40 pounds and is supported by an 18 in by 18 in square base. If the wind applies a force of 13.2 lbs to the sign at the geometric center of the sign surface, will the sign tip over? If so, how much evenly distributed weight (sand bags) should be added to the base of the sign to keep it from tipping when the wind blows?

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
