The rigid beam is supported by a pin at C and an A-36 steel guy wire AB. Beam A B of length W with a uniform load distribution, pin-supported at C, with a cable from B to A above C at 30 degrees from horizontal. Part A If the wire has a diameter of 0.2 in., determine the distributed load w if the end B is displaced 0.25 in. downward. Express your answer to three significant figures.

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.

An electric kettle is made out of stainless steel, weighs two pounds (when empty) and is equipped with a heating element that consumes 2 kw of electricity. assuming that the water and the kettle are at the same uniform temperature at any moment of time, calculate the shortest possible time to bring 2 quarts of water from room temperature to the onset of boiling
