In the clean room we discovered that when we lower the pressure in the chamber the plasma extinguishes (current goes to zero). what happened?
1. the pressure was dropped by driving a vacuum pump harder which probably tripped a circuit breaker that also supplied current to the power supplies driving the discharge. if there is no applied voltage there can be no current.
2. the mean free path increases as the pressure drops and if there are not enough ionizing collisions the process is not self-sustaining and the number of charge carriers available to carry the current drops to zero.
3. the plasma extinguishes when the pressure is below the minimum pressure required to maintain the plasma.
4. according tot he ideal gas law, the density of atoms or molecules drops when the pressure is decreased n = n/v = p/(kb*t). plasmas require a minimum density to operate.

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.
