Afirefighting team operate a firehose from 1.5 m above street level to direct a stream of water at a closed window whose centre is 10 m above the street. the firehose is 110 mm diameter with a 40 mm nozzle and is delivering 1200 l/min of water at the target. a head loss of 0.7 m occurs between the nozzle and the window, due to air resistance to the jet flow (this effect is visible as the jet breaks up into droplets and is not a perfect parabola.) a) how far back must the team stand to hit the window horizontally? at what angle should they hold the nozzle? head loss is equivalent to a reduced parabola height. b) how much force must the team exert to hold the reaction force at the nozzle? what weight of water would they need to carry to hold the hose at that height and angle? c) if these (old) windows are known to break with a central load of 120 n, can they break the window with the stream of water?

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
