The cables of a power line are copper-coated steel wire. The overall diameter of the wire is 5/8 in. The steel core has a diamet

er of 1/2 in.
If the maximum tension in a wire is 8000 lb, what are the stresses in the steel and the copper?

Answer:

The stresses in steel and the copper are, 128 ksi and 72.44 ksi, respectively.

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the area of both portions separately.

Thus, we know that:

Inner Radius = Rin = (1/2 in)/2 = 0.25 in

Outer Radius = Rout = (5/8 in)/2 = 0.3125 in

FOR STEEL CORE:

Area of steel core = As = π(Rin)² = π(0.25 in)² = 0.0625 in²

Hence, the stress will be:

σs = Force / As

σs = 8000 lb/ 0.0625 in²

<u>σs = 128 ksi</u>

FOR COPPER:

Area of copper = Ac = π[(Rout)² - (Rin)²]

Ac = π[(0.3125 in)² - (0.25 in)²] = 0.11044 in²

Hence, the stress will be:

σc = Force / Ac

σc = 8000 lb/ 0.11044 in²

<u>σc = 72.44 ksi</u>

What is the basic formula for actual mechanical advantage?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Mechanical Advantage Formula

The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio of its output to its input. It is also equal to the ratio of the actual and theoretical MAs. But, it does not mean that low-efficiency machines are of limited use. An automobile jack, for example, have to overcome a great deal of friction and therefore it has low efficiency. But still, it is extremely valuable because small effort can be applied to lift a great weight.

Also, in another way the mechanical advantage is the force generated by a machine to the force applied to it which is applied in assessing the performance of the machine.

The mechanical advantage formula is:

MA = FBFA

Explanation:

MAmechanical advantageFBthe force of the object

FAthe effort to overcome the force

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The code is attached.

Explanation:

I created a string s including 6 colors with spaces in between. Then I converted the string into a list x by using split() method. I used three different methods for removing elements from the list. These methods are remove(), pop() and del.

\\ Then I used methods append(), insert() and extend() for adding elements to the list.

\\ Finally I converted list into a string using join() and adding space in between the elements of the list.

Which of these cars traveled faster during time interval <br> please show solution
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

I think D is correct

Explanation:

C is decreasing function, probably worst

A is arctan -> in radian, the rate of increasing is very slow-> second worst

B(14) = ln(9*14) = 4.8

D(14) = sqrt(8+14^2)=14.2
