Answer:

Goal is not achievable

Step-by-step explanation:

There are Two laps and the total distance here is 2miles. Now, it is said that he hopes to travel at a speed of 60mph, thus the total time that it would take him to complete the 2 miles distance race is 2/60 = 1/30 hours. Thus if he travels at a constant speed of 60mph he would finish the race at 1/30hours.

This means he will take a time of 1/60 hours per lap.

Now, he travels 30mph to complete 1 mile, the time taken for this is 1/30h

We now need to know the speed he travels on the second lap.

Average speed = Total distance/Total time

60mph = 2/( 1/30 + T2)

60 = 2/( (1 + 30T2)/30)

60 = 2 divided by (1 + 30T2)/30

60 = 2 * (30)/1 + 30T2

60( 1 + 30T2) = 60

1 + 30T2 = 1

30T2 = 0

T2 = 0

This means that he cannot achieve his goal again as he had taken the time meant for the whole race in a single lap.

Show that p must be directed through centroids of cross sections if axial stress ? is not to vary over a cross section.
wolverine [178]
Assuming P (usually written in upper case) represents a force normal to a given cross section.

If a point load is applied to any point of the section, stress concentration will cause axial stress to vary.

The context of the question considers the uniformity of axial stress at a certain distance away from the point of application (thus stress concentration can be neglected).

If a force P is applied through the centroid, sections will be stressed uniformly.  However, if the force P is applied at a distance "e" from the centroid, the equivalent load on the section equals an axial force and a moment Pe.  The latter causes bending of the member, causing non-uniform stress.

If we assume A=(uniform) cross sectional area, and I=moment of inertia of the section, then stress varies with the distance y from the centroid equal to
stress=sigma=P/A + My/I
where P=axial force, M=moment = Pe.
Therefore when e>0, the stress varies across the section.

Five sand pails aligned side by side contain a total of 100 seashells. Each bucket contains two seashells fewer than the bucket
seraphim [82]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it said 100 sea shells and 2 fewer and each bucket.

Bucket B contains 130 which is way more.

Bucket c contains only 80

Bucket D contains 110 so it has to be A.

Have a great day!  :)

brilliants [131]
If every capsule requires 0.007 grams of aspirin, and the druggist has 14 grams, the best way to determine how many capsules he has is to divide 14 grams by 0.007 \frac{14}{0.007}=2000. This means that he can make C. 2,000 capsules
