To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.
In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.
By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as
Where,
Tensile strength
F = Tensile Force
A = Cross-sectional Area
In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as
where,
Shear strength
Shear Force
Parallel Area
PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then
Resolving for F,
PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then
In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
Geothermal energy is heat driven within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the earth surface.
Answer:
M. Magnetism is a property of individual atoms.
Explanation:
when a magnet is broken into pieces the new pieces behave like the original magnet this observation shows that magnetism is the property of individual atoms.
Answer:
The volume of the block is equal to the volume of water displaced by the block.
Explanation:
Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a given object (in this case the block). When an object such as the block is immersed in water, it displaces its own volume of water. This volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the block. Hence we can write;
Final Volume of water - Initial Volume of water= Water Displaced = Volume of the block
Recall that the density of a body is given by;
Density= mass/volume
If we obtain the volume of the block by measuring the volume of water displaced by the block, then we weigh the block using a weighing balance, we can obtain the density of the block easily from the relationship shown above.
