3. Which instrument measures the height above the ground?

1 answer:

7 0

Altimeters are important navigation instruments for aircraft and spacecraft pilots who monitor their height above the Earth's surface. Skydivers and mountaineers also use altimeters to pinpoint their location in the sky or on the ground.

Answer:

T=5.98 kips

Explanation:

First, introduce forces, acting on both cars:

on car A there are 4 forces acting: gravity force mA*g, normal reaction force, friction force and force T- it represents the interaction between cars A and B. On car B, there are three forces acting: gravity force, normal reaction force and force T. Note, that force T is acting on both cars, but it has opposite direction. Force T, acting on car A has direction, opposite to the friction force, whether the T, acting on B, is directed backwards- in the same direction with the friction force. Note, that both cars have the same acceleration, which is directed backwards.

Once the forces were established, we can write components of the Second Newtons Law on vertical and horizontal axes, considering that horizontal axis is directed backwards- in the same direction with the acceleration:

For car A on the vertical axis the equation is: -mAg+NA=0

For car A on the horizontal axis, the equation is: Ffr-T=mAa

For car B, on the vertical axis the equation is: -mBg+NB=0

For car B, on the horizontal axis, the equation is: T=mBa

We need to solve these equations to find force T, knowing that Ffr=μmAg, where

After the transformations, the equations for acceleration and force in the coupling will be:

a=(μmAg)/(mA+mB)=6.43 ft/s2- note, that the given answer is not correct for the given numerical values;

and force T: T=μmAmBg/(mA+mB)=6.0 kips- note, that the force answer is in line with the given numerical value

A cylindrical specimen of this alloy 12 mm in diameter and 188 mm long is to be pulled in tension. Assume a value of 0.34 for Po

kicyunya [14]

This question is incomplete, the missing image in uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

The required stress is 200 Mpa

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

diameter D = 12 mm = 12 × 10⁻³ m

Length L = 188 mm = 188 × 10⁻³ m

Poisson's ratio v = 0.34

Reduction in diameter Δd = 0.0105 mm = 0.0105 × 10⁻³ m

The transverse strain will;

εˣ = Δd / D

εˣ = -0.0105 × 10⁻³ / 12 × 10⁻³ m

εˣ = -0.00088

The longitudinal strain will be;

$E^z$ = - ( εˣ / v )

$E^z$ = - ( -0.00088 / 0.34 )

$E^z$ = - ( - 0.002588 )

$E^z$ = 0.0026

Now, Using the values for strain, we get the value of stress from the graph provided in the question, ( first image uploaded below.

From the graph, in the Second image;

The stress is 200 Mpa

Therefore, The required stress is 200 Mpa
