A circular shock absorber, as shown in the figure below, is designed to support a set of sensitive instruments. The system consists of an aluminium circular bar of diameter d1, a hollow circular rubber insulator acting as shock absorber of diameter d2 and height h, and an aluminium circular tube.

Consider a square-faced beam supporting a section of a building. d. b) m2 lo lo d+ Ad Part (a) Before installation, the length of the beam is found to be lo= 15.01 m (figure a). After installation and construction, the length is remeasured and found to be l= 14.92 m (figure b). Determine Young's Modulus Y in N/m- for the beam if it supports a mass m = 31000 kg and has a side |length d= 1.1 m. Part (b) If we were to double the dimensions (length and width) of the beam, which of the following are correct. Part (c) Suppose that after the beam is installed it needs to be repaired. The weight it supports is removed and replaced with a new mass m2 (figure c). After the new mass is supported, the side length is remeasured and found to be larger with a difference of Ad. Assuming that this side length deformation is uniform and small, write an expression for determining Poisson's ratio v for this beam if its Young's modulus Y is known.
A light balloon that has a volume 2.50 m³ filled with a helium (pne = 0.179 kg/m*) is tied to a light string of length L = 5.50 m. The string is tied to the ground, forming an "inverted" simple pendulum, as in Figure 2a. If the balloon is displaced slightly from the equilibrium position, as in Figure 2b (Pair = 1.29 kg/m³). Determine a) the spring constant, k, (Hint : Use an analogy with the mass hanging at the end of a spring. Solve for the value of k assuming that the restoring force acting on the system takes the same form as Hooke's law), b) the time period of its simple harmonic motion c) the frequency of the simple harmonic motion.

Lifting cable danger. Cranes are used to lift steel beams at construction sites (Figure a). Let's look at the danger in such a lift for a beam with length L = 12.5 m, a square cross-section with edge length w = 0.458 m, and density p = 7900 kg/m3. The main cable from the crane is attached to two short cables of length h = 7.00 m symmetrically attached to the beam at distance d from the midpoint (Figure b). (a) What is the tension Tmain in the main cable when the beam is lifted at constant speed? What is the tension Tshort in each short cable if d is (b) 1.60 m, (c) 4.24 m, and (d) 5.91 m?
