Answer:

Gravitational Potential =58.914 KJ

Explanation:

We know that

Gravitational Potential Energy = mass\times g\times Height

Given mass = 251 kg

Height= 24 m

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.78m/s^{2}

Applying values in the equation we get

Gravitational Potential Energy=251X9.78X24 Joules

Gravitational Potential Energy=58914.72 Joules

Gravitational Potential Energy =\frac{58914.72}{1000}KJ= 58.914KJ

Answer:

Ammonia gas a hazardous gas to our health, when we are exposed to it for a long time. The gas is lighter than air, that means it's high concentration may not be noticed at the point of leakage, because it flows with the wind direction. Ammonia gas detector are used to determine the concentration of the gas at a particular place. We can use the dispersion modelling software program to know the exact position, where we can place the gas detector, which would be where evacuation is needed.

During evacuation, when the concentration of the gas has increased, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for breathing, and an encapsulated suit should be worn to prevent ammonia from reacting with our sweat or any other chemical burn. A mechanic ventilation will also be needed in the place of evacuation, so that the ammonia concentration in that area can be dispersed.

A plate of an alloy steel has a plane-strain fracture toughness of 50 MPa√m. If it is known that the largest surface crack is 0.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

option B is correct. Fracture will definitely not occur

Explanation:

The formula for fracture toughness is given by;

K_ic = σY√πa

Where,

σ is the applied stress

Y is the dimensionless parameter

a is the crack length.

Let's make σ the subject

So,

σ = [K_ic/Y√πa]

Plugging in the relevant values;

σ = [50/(1.1√π*(0.5 x 10^(-3))]

σ = 1147 MPa

Thus, the material can withstand a stress of 1147 MPa

So, if tensile stress of 1000 MPa is applied, fracture will not occur because the material can withstand a higher stress of 1147 MPa before it fractures. So option B is correct.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

24.72 kwh

Explanation:

Electric energy=potential energy=mgz where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and z is the elevation.

Substituting the given values while taking g as 9.81 and dividing by 3600 to convert to per hour we obtain

PE=(108*9.81*84)/3600=24.72 kWh
