line is μg=0.7.

Assuming the wedge has an angle of 5°.The minimum value of the force P that is required to begin moving the block up the incline is: 322.84 N.

<h3>Minimum value of force P</h3>

First step

Using this formula to find the weight of the block

W=mg

W=27×9.81

W=264.87 N

Second step

Angles of friction ∅A and ∅B

∅A=tan^-1(μA)

∅A=tan^-1(0.70)

∅A=34.99°

∅B=tan^-1(μB)

∅B=tan^-1(0.40)

∅B=21.80°

Third step

Equate the sum of forces in m-direction to 0 in order to find the reaction force at B.

∑fm=0

W sin (∅A+20°) + RB cos (∅B+∅A)=0

264.87 sin(34.99°+20°) + RB cos (21.80°+34.99°)=0

216.94+0.5477Rb=0

RB=216.94/0.5477

RB=396.09 N

Fourth step

Equate the sum of forces in x-direction to 0 in order to find force Rc.

∑fx=0

RB cos (∅B) - RC cos (∅B+ 5°)=0

396.09 cos(21.80°) - RC cos (21.80°+5°)=0

RC=396.09 cos(21.80°)/cos(26.80°)

RC=412.02 N

Last step

Equate the sum of forces in y-direction to 0 in order to find force P required to move the block up the incline.

∑fy=0

RB sin (∅B) + RC sin (∅B)-P=0

P=Rb sin (∅B) + RC sin (5°+∅B)

P=396.09 sin(21.80°) +412.02sin (5°+21.80°)

P=322.84 N

Inconclusion the minimum value of the force P that is required to begin moving the block up the incline is: 322.84 N.

A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel does 240 kJ of work on the

Sergeu [11.5K]

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts and formulas related to the change of ideal gas entropy.

By definition the entropy change would be defined as

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})$

Using the Boyle equation we have

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{v_1T_2}{v_2T_1})$

Where,

$C_p$ = Specific heat at constant pressure

$T_1$ = Initial temperature of gas

$T_2$ = Final temprature of gas

R = Universal gas constant

$v_1$ = Initial specific Volume of gas

$v_2$ = Final specific volume of gas

According to the statement, it is an isothermal process and the tank is therefore rigid

$T_1 = T_2, v_2=v_1$

The equation would turn out as

$\Delta S = C_p ln1-ln1$

<em>Therefore the entropy change of the ideal gas is 0</em>

Into the surroundings we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat Exchange

T = Temperature in the surrounding

Replacing with our values we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{230kJ}{(30+273)K}$

$\Delta S = 0.76 kJ/K$

<em>Therefore the increase of entropy into the surroundings is 0.76kJ/K</em>

Write down one metal or alloy that is best suited for each of the following applications:

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.

Tech A says that thrust angle refers to the direction the front wheels are pointing. Tech B says that scrub radius refers to the

kenny6666 [7]

Both of the technicians are correct.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The thrust angle is defined as the angle formed by the imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the rear axis center line. It is used in alignment of the four wheels.

It is also used to determine the direction the front wheels are pointing. While the scrub radius is the intersecting point of the vertical center line of front tires with the imaginary line drawn from the steering knuckles.

Thus both the technicians are saying correct. The thrust angle and scrub radius are used to determine the alignment of wheels, if there is any misalignment in wheels then it needs to make it correct to prevent accidents.

A ductile hot-rolled steel bar has a minimum yield strength in tension and compression of 350 MPa. Using the distortion-energy a

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given question:

Using the distortion energy theory to determine the factors of safety FOS can be expressed by the relation:

$\dfrac{Syt}{FOS}= \sqrt{ \sigma x^2+\sigma y^2-\sigma x \sigma y+3 \tau_{xy^2}}$

where; syt = strength in tension and compression = 350 MPa

The maximum shear stress theory can be expressed as:

$\tau_{max} = \dfrac{Syt}{2FOS}$

where;

$\tau_{max} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{\sigma x-\sigma y}{2})^2+ \tau _{xy^2$

a. Using distortion - energy theory formula:

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{94^2+0^2-94*0+3 (-75)^2}}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}=160.35$

${FOS}=\dfrac{350}{160.35}$

FOS = 2.183

USing the maximum-shear stress theory;

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{94-0}{2})^2+ (-75)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =88.51$

$\dfrac{350}{ FOS} =2 \times 88.51$

${ FOS} =\dfrac{350}{2 \times 88.51}$

FOS = 1.977

b. σx = 110 MPa, σy = 100 MPa

Using distortion - energy theory formula:

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 110^2+100^2-110*100+3(0)^2}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 12100+10000-11000$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}=105.3565$

$FOS=\dfrac{350}{105.3565}$

FOS =3.322

USing the maximum-shear stress theory;

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{110-100}{2})^2+ (0)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} ={ (\dfrac{110-100}{2})^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =25$

FOS = 350/2×25

FOS = 350/50

FOS = 70

c. σx = 90 MPa, σy = 20 MPa, τxy =−20 MPa

Using distortion- energy theory formula:

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 90^2+20^2-90*20+3(-20)^2}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 8100+400-1800+1200}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= 88.88$

FOS = 350/88.88

FOS = 3.939

USing the maximum-shear stress theory;

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{90-20}{2})^2+ (-20)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (35)^2+ (-20)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ 1225+ 400$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =40.31$

$FOS} =\dfrac{350}{2*40.31}$

FOS = 4.341
