A compound die is used to blank and punch a large washer out of 6061ST Al alloy sheet stock 3.2 mm thick. The outside diameter of the washer is 25.0 mm. and the inside diameter is 12.0 mm. Determine the force required to perform the blanking and punching operation under the following conditions: (a) blanking and punching occur simultaneously and (b) the punches are staggered so that punching occurs first, then blanking. The aluminum has a tensile strength of 350 MPa.

Tech a says never use a water hose to clean up dust after a repair. tech b says never use a floor scrubber to clean up dust after repairs. who is correct?

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg. a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg. m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
