(a) Explanation Given information: The equation of force ( F ) is F = k 1 x − k 2 x 3 . Calculation: Write the general expression for calculating the potential energy as follows: V = 1 2 k x 2 Calculate the work done ( U 1 − 2 ) using the relation: U 1 − 2 = − ∫ x 1 x 2 F d x Substitute k 1 x − k 2 x 3 for F . U 1 − 2 = − ∫ x 1 x 2 ( k 1 x − k 2 x 3 ) d x = − [ k 1 x 2 2 ] x 1 x 2 + [ k 2 x 4 4 ] x 1 x 2 = − [ k 1 2 ( x 2 (b) To determine Find the maximum velocity ( v ) of the particle of mass m attached to the spring and released from rest with x = x 0 .

Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

a problem existed at the stocking stations of a mini-load AS/RS (automated storage and retrieval system) of a leading electronics manufacturer (Fig.1). At these stations, operators fill the bin delivered by the crane with material arriving in a tote over a roller conveyor. The conveyor was designed at such a height that it was impossible to reach the hooks comfortably even with the tote extended. Furthermore, cost consideration came into the picture and the conveyor height was not reduced. Instead, a step stool was considered to enable the stocker to reach the moving hooks comfortably. The height of the hooks from the floor is 280.2 cm (AD). The tote length is 54.9 cm. The projection of tote length and arm reach, CB = 66.1 cm. a) What anthropometric design principles would you follow to respectively calculate height, length, and width of the step to make it usable to a large number of people? b) What is the minimum height (EF) of the step with no shoe allowance? c) What is the minimum…

Qu. 5 Composite materials are becoming more widely used in aircraft industry due to their high strength, low weight and excellent corrosion resistant properties. As an engineer who is given task to design the I beam section of an aircraft (see Figure 7) please, answer the following questions given the material properties in Table 3. Determine the Moduli of Elasticity of Carbon/Epoxy, Aramid/Epoxy, and Boron /Epoxy composites in the longitudinal direction, given that the composites consist of 25 vol% epoxy and 75 vol% fiber.
