Question
1.A body hangs from a spring balance supported from the roof of an elevator. If
the elevator has an upward acceleration of 4 ft/sec squared and the balance
reads 45 Ib, what is the true weight of the body in Ib?
2.A balloon is ascending at the rate of 12 kph and is being carried horizontally by
a wind at 22 kph. If the bomb dropped from the balloon such that it takes 9 sec
to reach the ground, what is the balloon's altitude when the bomb was released?
3.What is the binary equivalent with sign bit of -5 in 2's complement?
4.Two cars, A and B, are traveling along the same route. Car A is traveling at 4.5
m/s and has a mass of 1150 kg. Car B is traveling at 6.7 m/s and has a mass of
1300 kg. If Car B gently bumps in car A and their bumpers lock together, what will
be their common velocity?
5.Which of the following occurs during evaporation?

6.A wheel of 40 cm radius rotates in a stationary axle. It is uniformly speeded up
from rest to a speed of 900 rpm in a time of 20 sec. Find the tangential
acceleration of a point on its rim.
7.The input and output voltages of an amplifier network are 1 V and 8 V
respectively. If the input impedance are equal. What is the voltage gain (or loss)?
8.Determine the maximum shearing stress in a helical steel spring composed of
20 turns of 20mm diameter wire on a mean radius of 80 mm when the spring is
supporting a load of 2 kN.
9.The original cost of a certain piece of equipment is P150,000 and it is
depreciated by 10% sinking fund method. Determine the annual depreciation
charge if the book value of the equipment after 10 years is the same as if it had
been depreciated at 14,000 each year by straight line method.
10.Fusion point and
occur at the same temperature.
