Answer: For the center plate to remain stationed in one position without rotating, the bottom plate has to move to the left at a speed of 2m/s, so as to cancel the force acting on it from the top.
The center plate will not move when the bottom plate is moving left in a speed of 2m/s to counter the speed of the top plate, because a body will continue to be at rest if all the forces acting towards the body are equal. The center plate will be at rest because we have directed equal force from the top and bottom of the plate.
When the voltages between the three phases are not equal, the current increases dramatically in the motor winding's, and if allowed to continue, the motor will be damaged.
For this given problem, if the yield strength is now 45 ksi, using Distortion Energy Theory the material will _fail______ and using the Maximum Shear Stress Theory the material will ___not fail_______
