Why is the uniaxial tension test commonly used to evaluate the mechanical properties of metals?
1 answer:
Answer:
Because with this test you can determine complex material parameters like Young’s modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength and elongation at break. This is important because it provides us with the factor of safety that needs to be built-in the products using these materials.
Explanation:
This test consists in place the material between to tweezers to subdued the material into a stress-strain test. The figure shows the procedure.
In the x axe the strain and the y axe the stress.

Answer:
I am writing a Python program. Here is the function letterCount. This function takes two string arguments text and letter and return count of all occurrences of a letter in the text.
def letterCount(text, letter):
count = 0 # to count occurrences of letter in the text string
for char in text: # loop moves through each character in the text
if letter == char: # if given letter matches with the value in char
count += 1 # keeps counting occurrence of a letter in text
return count # returns how many times a letter occurred in text
Explanation:
In order to see if this function works you can check by calling this function and passing a text and a letter as following:
print(letterCount('apples are tasty','a'))
Output:
3
Now lets see how this function works using the above text and letter values.
text = apples are tasty
letter = a
So the function has to compute the occurrences of 'a' in the given text 'apples are tasty'.
The loop has a variable char that moves through each character given in the text (from a of apples to y of tasty) so it is used as an index variable.
char checks each character of the text string for the occurrence of letter a.
The if condition checks if the char is positioned at a character which matches the given letter i.e. a. If it is true e.g if char is at character a of apple so the if condition evaluates to true.
When the if condition evaluates to true this means one occurrence is found and this count variable counts this occurrence. So count increments every time the occurrence of letter a is found in apples are tasty text.
The loop breaks when every character in text is traversed and finally the count variable returns all of the occurrences of that letter (a) in the given text (apples are tasty). As a occurs 3 times in text so 3 is returned in output.

Answer:
(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R) = 1
(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A) = 0.833
(c) The efficiency of the machine (E) = 83.3 %
Explanation:
Given;
load lifted by the pulley, L = 400 N
effort applied in lifting the, E = 480 N
distance moved by the effort, d = 5 m
(a) the velocity ratio of the machine (V.R);
since the effort applied moved downwards through a distance of d, the load will also move upwards through an equal distance 'd'.
V.R = distance moved by effort / distance moved by the load
V.R = 5/5 = 1
(b) The mechanical advantage of the machine (M.A);
M.A = L/E
M.A = 400 / 480
M.A = 0.833
(c) The efficiency of the machine (E);
