A cannon fires a ball vertically upward from the Earth’s surface. Which one of the following statements concerning the net force
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) The net force on the ball is instantaneously equal to zero newtons at the top of the flight path.

Explanation:

At an instantenous time at the top of the flight path, the upward force due to the Canon explosion on the ball is just equal to the weight of the ball, this will equate the net force on the ball to zero. At this point the velocity of the ball is zero before it decends down to earth under its own weight.

A cylindrical specimen of a titanium alloy having an elastic modulus of 107 GPa (15.5 × 106 psi) and an original diameter of 3.7
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

the maximum length of specimen before deformation is found to be 235.6 mm

Explanation:

First, we need to find the stress on the cylinder.

Stress = σ = P/A

where,

P = Load = 2000 N

A = Cross-sectional area = πd²/4 = π(0.0037 m)²/4

A = 1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 2000 N/1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 186 MPa

Now, we find the strain (∈):

Elastic Modulus = Stress / Strain

E = σ / ∈

∈ = σ / E

∈ = 186 x 10^6 Pa/107 x 10^9 Pa

∈ = 1.74 x 10^-3 mm/mm

Now, we find the original length.

∈ = Elongation/Original Length

Original Length = Elongation/∈

Original Length = 0.41 mm/1.74 x 10^-3

<u>Original Length = 235.6 mm</u>

A bridge to be fabricated of steel girders is designed to be 500 m long and 12 m wide at ambient temperature (assumed 20°C). Exp
Volgvan

Answer:

a) 22.5number

b) 22.22 m length

Explanation:

Given data:

Bridge length = 500 m

width of bridge = 12 m

Maximum temperature = 40 degree C

minimum temperature  = - 35 degree C

Maximum expansion can be determined as

\Delta L = L \alpha (T_{max} - T_{min})

where , \alpha is expansion coefficient = 12\times 10^{-6} degree C

SO, \Delta L = 500\times 12\times 10^{-6}\times ( 40 - (-35))

\Delta L = 0.45 m = 450 mm

number of minimum expansion joints is calculated as

n = \frac{450}{20} = 22.5

b) length of each bridge

Length = \frac{500}{22.5} = 22.22 m

Determine the required dimensions of a column with a square cross section to carry an axial compressive load of 6500 lb if its l
ycow [4]

Answer: 0.95 inches

Explanation:

A direct load on a column is considered or referred to as an axial compressive load. A direct concentric load is considered axial. If the load is off center it is termed eccentric and is no longer axially applied.

The length= 64 inches

Ends are fixed Le= 64/2 = 32 inches

Factor Of Safety (FOS) = 3. 0

E= 10.6× 10^6 ps

σy= 4000ps

The square cross-section= ia^4/12

PE= π^2EI/Le^2

6500= 3.142^2 × 10^6 × a^4/12×32^2

a^4= 0.81 => a=0.81 inches => a=0.95 inches

Given σy= 4000ps

σallowable= σy/3= 40000/3= 13333. 33psi

Load acting= 6500

Area= a^2= 0.95 ×0.95= 0.9025

σactual=6500/0.9025

σ actual < σallowable

The dimension a= 0.95 inches
