Answer:

Because in the event of a rear collision, the cervical spine, in the neck region, can project quickly forward and then backwards, causing serious problems if the headrest is not adjusted.

Explanation:

Head support is not widely remembered when talking about driving safety, but its use can prevent serious injuries in the event of an accident. The correct use of the headrest is as important as the seat belt and its usefulness is even greater in cases of rear impact. In rear collisions, it is common to report the whip effect on passengers of the vehicle that was hit. It gets its name because the impact of one vehicle on the rear of another projects the occupants of the car ahead ahead. With the crash, the seat belt holds people's bodies - but not the neck and head. With this, the cervical spine, in the neck region, can quickly project forward and, soon after, backward. Sort of like a rubber band or whip - hence the name.

One of the ways to prevent cervical spine injuries is to adjust the seat headrest correctly. By correctly adjusting the device, in the event of a rear collision, the backrest prevents excessive movement of the neck and head.

Practice Problem: True Stress and Strain A cylindrical specimen of a metal alloy 49.7 mm long and 9.72 mm in diameter is stresse

Answer:

The true stress required = 379 MPa

Explanation:

True Stress is the ratio of the internal resistive force to the instantaneous cross-sectional area of the specimen. True Strain is the natural log to the extended length after which load applied to the original length. The cold working stress – strain curve relation is as follows,

σ(t) = K (ε(t))ⁿ, σ(t) is the true stress, ε(t) is the true strain, K is the strength coefficient and n is the strain hardening exponent

True strain is given  by

Epsilon t =㏑ (l/l₀)

Substitute㏑(l/l₀) for ε(t)

σ(t) = K(㏑(l/l₀))ⁿ

Given values l₀ = 49.7mm, l =51.7mm , n =0.2 , σ(t) =379Mpa

379 x 10⁶ = K (㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

K = 379 x 10⁶/(㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

K = 723.48 MPa

Knowing the constant value would be same as the same material is being used in the second test, we can find out the true stress using the above formula replacing the value of the constant.

σ(t) = K(㏑(l/l₀))ⁿ

l₀ = 49.7mm, l = 51.7mm, n = 0.2, K = 723.48Mpa

σ(t) = 723.48 x 106 x (㏑(51.7/49.7))^0.2

σ(t) = 379 MPa

The true stress necessary to plastically elongate the specimen is 379 MPa.
