Answer:

a) Hydroplaning

Explanation:

When a wall of water separates the tire on a vehicle from the roadway then the condition is known as hydroplaning or aquaplaning. Skidding of the vehicle is a possibility that may arise due to hydroplaning. However hydroplaning may not immediately result in vehicle stopping abruptly. So among the given options, Hydroplaning fits the scenario specified in the question.

Let A→=(150iˆ+270jˆ) mm , B→=(300iˆ−450jˆ) mm , and C→=(−100iˆ−250jˆ) mm . Find scalars r and s, if possible, such that R→=rA→+s

ioda

Answer: r = 0.8081; s = -0.07071

Explanation:

A = (150i + 270j) mm

B = (300i - 450j) mm

C = (-100i - 250j) mm

R = rA + sB + C = 0i + 0j

R = r(150i + 270j) + s(300i - 450j) + (-100i - 250j) = 0i + 0j

R = (150r + 300s - 100)i + (270r - 450s - 250)j = 0i + 0j

Equating the i and j components;

150r + 300s - 100 = 0

270r - 450s - 250 = 0

150r + 300s = 100

270r - 450s = 250

solving simultaneously,

r = 0.8081 and s = -0.07071

How much cornfield area would be required if you were to replace all the oil consumed in the United States with ethanol from cor

zaharov [31]

Answer:

2377.35 km

Explanation:

Given the following;

1. A cornfield is 1.5% efficient at converting radiant energy into stored chemical potential energy;

2. The conversion from corn to ethanol is 17% efficient;

3. A 1.2:1 ratio for farm equipment to energy production

4. A 50% growing season and,

5. 200 W/m2 solar insolation.

As per our assumptions,1.2/1 is the ratio for farm equipment to energy production,

So USA need around 45.45% (1/(1+1.2) replacement of fuel energy production which is nearly about = 0.4545*10^{20} J/year = \frac{0.4545*10^{20}}{365*24*3600}=1.44121*10^{12} J/sec

Growing season is only part of year ( Given = 50%),

Net efficiency = 1.5%*17%*50%=0.015*0.17*0.5=0.001275 = 0.1275%

Hence , Actual Energy replacement (Efficiency),

=\frac{1.44121*10^{12}}{0.001275} = 1.13*10^{15} J/sec=1.13*10^{15} W

As per assumption (5),

\because 200 W/m2 solar insolation arequired,

So USA required corn field area = 1.13*10^{15}/200 = 5.65*10^{12} m^{2}

Hence, length of each side of a square,

= (5.65*10^{12} )^{0.5} = 2377.35 km

A rectangular steel bar, with 8" x 0.75" cross-sectional dimensions, has equal and opposite moments applied to its ends.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Part a: The yield moment is 400 k.in.

Part b: The strain is $8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

Part c: The plastic moment is 600 ksi.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per bending equation

$\frac{M}{I}=\frac{F}{y}$

Here

M is the moment which is to be calculated
I is the moment of inertia given as

$I=\frac{bd^3}{12}$

Here

b is the breath given as 0.75"
d is the depth which is given as 8"

$I=\frac{bd^3}{12}\\I=\frac{0.75\times 8^3}{12}\\I=32 in^4$

y is given as

$y=\frac{d}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4"\\$

Force is 50 ksi

$\frac{M_y}{I}=\frac{F_y}{y}\\M_y=\frac{F_y}{y}{I}\\M_y=\frac{50}{4}{32}\\M_y=400 k. in$

The yield moment is 400 k.in.

Part b:

The strain is given as

$Strain=\frac{Stress}{Elastic Modulus}$

The stress at the station 2" down from the top is estimated by ratio of triangles as

$F_{2"}=\frac{F_y}{y}\times 2"\\F_{2"}=\frac{50 ksi}{4"}\times 2"\\F_{2"}=25 ksi$

Now the steel has the elastic modulus of E=29000 ksi

$Strain=\frac{Stress}{Elastic Modulus}\\Strain=\frac{F_{2"}}{E}\\Strain=\frac{25}{29000}\\Strain=8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

So the strain is $8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

Part c:

For a rectangular shape the shape factor is given as 1.5.

Now the plastic moment is given as

$shape\, factor=\frac{Plastic\, Moment}{Yield\, Moment}\\{Plastic\, Moment}=shape\, factor\times {Yield\, Moment}\\{Plastic\, Moment}=1.5\times400 ksi\\{Plastic\, Moment}=600 ksi$

The plastic moment is 600 ksi.
