Determine the force in each member of the truss. Stale if the members are in tension or compression. Prob.6-3

1 answer:

3 0

When a force is applied to a member and it is pointed at a joint, the member is in compression. When a force is directed away from a joint that the member is attached to, it is said to be in tension.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

The pulling force transmitted axially by a string, rope, chain, or other similar object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or other similar three-dimensional object, is referred to as tension in physics. Tension can also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of the aforementioned elements. Tension, the opposite of compression, is conceivable.

To measure tension as a transmitted force, an action-reaction pair of forces, or a restoring force, the International System of Units uses newtons (or pounds-force in Imperial units). At the point of attachment to the objects to which the string or rod is connected, the ends of a string or other object that transmits tension will exert forces in the direction of the string.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

hand tracing

Explanation:

as a programmer when we pretend computer in the debugging process by the step of each statement in recording

then there value of variable is hand tracing because as The hand tracking feature is the use of hands as an input method

so while recording value of each variable each step is hand tracing

vertical gate in an irrigation canal holds back 12.2 m of water. Find the average force on the gate if its width is 3.60 m. Repo

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The right solution is "2625 kN".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The average pressure will be:

= $density\times g\times \frac{h}{2}$

By putting values, we get

= $1000\times 9.8\times \frac{12.2}{2}$

= $1000\times 9.8\times 6.1$

= $59780$

hence,

The average force will be:

= $Pressure\times Area$

= $59780\times 3.6\times 12.2$

= $2625537 \ N$

Or,

= $2625 \ kN$

In a certain chemical plant, a closed tank contains ethyl alcohol to a depth of 71 ft. Air at a pressure of 17 psi fills the gap

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

the pressure at a closed valve attached to the tank 10 ft above its bottom is 37.88 psi

Explanation:

Given that;

depth 1 = 71 ft

depth 2 = 10 ft

pressure p = 17 psi = 2448 lb/ft²

depth h = 71 ft - 10 ft = 61 ft

we know that;

p = P_air + yh

where y is the specific weight of ethyl alcohol ( 49.3 lb/ft³ )

so we substitute;

p = 2448 + ( 49.3 × 61 )

= 2448 + 3007.3

= 5455.3 lb/ft³

= 37.88 psi

Therefore, the pressure at a closed valve attached to the tank 10 ft above its bottom is 37.88 psi

(d) Arches NP is known for its spectacular arches that develop in the jointed areas of the park. Placemark Problem 2d flies you

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

☐ NE-SW

Explanation:

Based on the description, the rock direction is North East - South West (NE-SW). Rocks generally can expand or compress depending on the type and magnitude of stress applied on the rocks. However, if the applied stress is sufficiently high, cracks and fractures will be created on the rock and it can ultimately lead to the formation of particles.
