Fizeau’s method for measuring the speed of light using a rotating toothed wheel. The speed of rotation of the wheel controls what an observer sees. For example, if the light passing the opening at point A should return at the instant that tooth B had rotated into position to cover the return path, the light would not reach the observer. At a faster rate of rotation, the opening at point C could move into position to allow the reflected beam to reach the observer. Toothed Wheel Mirror A B C d Calculate the minimum angular speed of the wheel for light that passed through opening A to return through opening C to reach the observer. In an experiment to measure the speed of light using the apparatus of Fizeau, the distance between the toothed wheel and mirror was 10.72 km and the wheel had 671 notches. The experimentally determined value of c was 2.908 × 108 m/s . Answer in units of rad/s.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
