Design a dc transmission line that can transmit 256 mw of electricity 112 km with only a 2.0% loss. the wires are to be made of aluminum and the voltage is 680 kv . what should be the minimum transmission line diameter?

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.

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux

Ifa component is made of two or more materials with different modulus of elasticity (e), it is called a composite member and we calculate the factor·n". mention the formula for calculating n". also, ifn> 1, explain what will happen to the 1. transformed.gi) ifn 1, what will happen to the material when transformed material when
