Hi! bridges could have been collapse due to an error made by the engineers during construction.
Answer: a) The technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of power using pressurized fluids
Explanation: Fluid power is defined as the fluids which are under pressure and then are used for generation,control and transmit the power. Fluid power systems produces high forces as well as power in small amount . These systems usually tend to have better life if maintained properly. The force that are applied on this system can be monitored by gauges as well as meter.
Answer:
a) Under damped
Explanation:
Given that system is critically damped .And we have to find out the condition when gain is increased.
As we know that damping ratio given as follows

Where C is the damping coefficient and Cc is the critical damping coefficient.

So from above we can say that


From above relationship we can say when gain (K) is increases then system will become under damped system.
Answer:
(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R) = 1
(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A) = 0.833
(c) The efficiency of the machine (E) = 83.3 %
Explanation:
Given;
load lifted by the pulley, L = 400 N
effort applied in lifting the, E = 480 N
distance moved by the effort, d = 5 m
(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R);
since the effort applied moved downwards through a distance of d, the load will also move upwards through an equal distance 'd'.
V.R = distance moved by effort / distance moved by the load
V.R = 5/5 = 1
(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A);
M.A = L/E
M.A = 400 / 480
M.A = 0.833
(c) The efficiency of the machine (E);

Answer:
Hello there, please check step by step explanations to get answers.
Explanation:
Given that:
5-hp single-cylinder engine is used. At most, the belt transmits 60 percent of this power. The driving sheave has a diameter of 6.2 in. and the driven, 12.0 in. The belt selected should be as close to 92 in pitch length as possible. The engine speed is governor-controlled to a maximum of 3100 rev/min. Select a satisfactory belt, and specify it using the standard designation.
