If the dart is thrown with a speed of 10 m>s, determine the shortest possible time before it strikes the target. Also, what is the corresponding angle uA at which it should be thrown, and what is the velocity of the dart when it strikes the target?

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.

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false
