Two runners start at the same point on a straight track. The first runs with constant acceleration so that he covers 98 yards in

10 seconds. The second runner waited 5 seconds and then throws a rock at his opponent's head. Of the head and the rock are at the same level form the ground, what must the initial magnitude of the velocity be if the rock is to hit the head just at the 98 yard tape? Give the answer in feet per second.

Answer:

94.13 ft/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • t = time interval in which the rock hits the opponent = 10 s - 5 s = 5 s
  • s = distance to be moved by the rock long the horizontal = 98 yards
  • y = displacement to be moved by the rock during the time of flight along the vertical = 0 yard

<u>Assume:</u>

  • u = magnitude of initial velocity of the rock
  • \theta = angle of the initial velocity with the horizontal.

For the motion of the rock along the vertical during the time of flight, the rock has a constant acceleration in the vertically downward direction.

\therefore y = u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow 0 = u\sin \theta 5 +\dfrac{1}{2}(-9.8)\times 5^2\\\Rightarrow u\sin \theta 5 =\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)\times 5^2......(1)\\

Now the rock has zero acceleration along the horizontal. This means it has a constant velocity along the horizontal during the time of flight.

\therefore u\cos \theta t = s\\\Rightarrow u\cos \theta 5 = 98.....(2)\\

On dividing equation (1) by (2), we have

\tan \theta = \dfrac{25}{20}\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = 1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = 51.34^\circ

Now, putting this value in equation (2), we have

u\cos 51.34^\circ\times  5 = 98\\\Rightarrow u = \dfrac{98}{5\cos 51.34^\circ}\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\ yard/s\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\times 3\ ft/s\\\Rightarrow u =94.13\ ft/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the rock must a magnitude of 94.13 ft/s to hit the opponent exactly at 98 yards.

What would you predict for this elephant's stride frequency? That is, how many steps per minute will the elephant take?
Sonja [21]
<span>` You can consider T to be in units of seconds/step. Frequency is the inverse of period, so 
1/T = frequency and has units of steps per second. There will be 60 times as many steps in a minute.</span>

A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal gauge pressure, p=75 psip=75 psi. It had a wall thickness
Mekhanik [1.2K]

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the longitudinal effort and the effort of the hoop. The effort of the hoop is given as

\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}

Here,

P = Pressure

d = Diameter

t = Thickness

At the same time the longitudinal stress is given as,

\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}

The letters have the same meaning as before.

Then he hoop stress would be,

\sigma_h = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_h = \frac{75 \times 8}{2\times 0.25}

\sigma_h = 1200psi

And the longitudinal stress would be

\sigma_l = \frac{Pd}{4t}

\sigma_l = \frac{75\times 8}{4\times 0.25}

\sigma_l = 600Psi

The Mohr's circle is attached in a image to find the maximum shear stress, which is given as

\tau_{max} = \frac{\sigma_h}{2}

\tau_{max} = \frac{1200}{2}

\tau_{max} = 600Psi

Therefore the maximum shear stress in the pressure vessel when it is subjected to this pressure is 600Psi
