Answer:
970 kN
Explanation:
The length of the block = 70 mm
The cross section of the block = 50 mm by 10 mm
The tension force applies to the 50 mm by 10 mm face, F₁ = 60 kN
The compression force applied to the 70 mm by 10 mm face, F₂ = 110 kN
By volumetric stress, we have that for there to be no change in volume, the total pressure applied by the given applied forces should be equal to the pressure removed by the added applied force
The pressure due to the force F₁ = 60 kN/(50 mm × 10 mm) = 120 MPa
The pressure due to the force F₂ = 110 kN/(70 mm × 10 mm) = 157.142857 MPa
The total pressure applied to the block, P = 120 MPa + 157.142857 MPa = 277.142857 MPa
The required force, F₃ = 277.142857 MPa × (70 mm × 50 mm) = 970 kN
-- The speed of light in air is very close to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Whatever the actual number is, it's equivalent to roughly
7 times around the Earth in 1 second. So for this kind of
problem, you can assume that we see things at the same time
that they happen; don't bother worrying about how long it takes
for the light to reach you.
-- For sound, it's a different story. Sound in air only travels at
about 340 m/s. It takes sound almost 5 seconds to go 1 mile.
-- Now, the lightning and thunder happen at the same time.
The light travels to you at the speed of light, so you see the
lightning pretty much when it happens. But the sound of the
thunder comes poking along at 340 m/s, and arrives AFTER
the sight of the lightning.
The length of time between the sight and the sound is about
99.9999% the result of the time it takes the sound to reach you.
If the thunder arrived at you 3 seconds after the light did, then
the sound traveled
(340 m/s) x (3 s) = 1,020 meters .
(about 0.63 of a mile)
(If you're worried about ignoring the time it takes
for the light to reach you ...
It takes light 0.0000034 second to cover the same 1,020 meters,
so including it in the calculation would not change the answer.)
