Write a method stutter that takes an arraylist of strings and an integer k as parameters and that replaces every string with k copies of that string. for example, if the list stores the values ["how", "are", "you? "] before the method is called and k is 4, it should store the values ["how", "how", "how", "how", "are", "are", "are", "are", "you? ", "you? ", "you? ", "you? "] after the method finishes executing. if k is 0 or negative, the list should be empty after the call.

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

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.
