Question 1 Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
p&=\lim_{x \to \pi}\left ( \frac{x^2+\alpha x+2 \pi ^2}{x-\pi+2 \sin x} \right ) \\
p&=\left ( \frac{\pi ^2+\alpha \pi +2 \pi ^2}{\pi-\pi+2 \sin \pi } \right ) \\
&= \frac{2 \pi ^2+\alpha \pi}{0}\\
\therefore \;\; \alpha &= -3 \pi\\
p&=\lim_{x \to \pi}\left ( \frac{x^2- 3 \pi x+2 \pi ^2}{x-\pi+2 \sin x} \right ) \\
&=\lim_{x \to \pi}\left ( \frac{2x- 3 \pi }{1+2 \cos \pi} \right ) \\
&= \frac{2 \pi-3 \pi}{1-2}=\frac{-\pi}{-1}=\pi\\
\therefore \; \alpha &=-3 \pi \text{ and }p= \pi

Draw FBD of AB

\Sigma M_A=0
W \times 2.5=T \sin 30^{\circ} \times 2.5
T=2W
Compressive load acting on AB =T \cos 30^{\circ}=2W \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sqrt{3}W
Buckling happens when \sqrt{3}W=P_{cr}=\frac{\pi ^2 EI}{L_e^2}
\sqrt{3}W=\frac{\pi ^2 EI}{L^2} \;\;(\because L_e=L \text{as both ends hinged})

Question 7 Explanation:
h_1
= 400 mm, h_2
= ?
\omega _1=\omega \;\;\;\omega _2=2\omega
For Watt governor,
\begin{aligned} h&=\frac{g}{\omega ^2}\\ h\propto \frac{1}{\omega ^2}\\ \Rightarrow h_1\omega _1^2&=h_2\omega _2^2\\ 400 \times \omega ^2&=h_2 \times (2\omega )^2\\ h_2&=100mm \end{aligned}
\omega _1=\omega \;\;\;\omega _2=2\omega
For Watt governor,
\begin{aligned} h&=\frac{g}{\omega ^2}\\ h\propto \frac{1}{\omega ^2}\\ \Rightarrow h_1\omega _1^2&=h_2\omega _2^2\\ 400 \times \omega ^2&=h_2 \times (2\omega )^2\\ h_2&=100mm \end{aligned}
