those of an uncharged 10.0 µF capacitor. Compute (a) the original charge of the system, (b) the final potential difference across each capacitor, (c) the final energy of the system, and (d) the decrease in energy when the capacitors are connected.

Answer:

a) Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b) V_1 = V_2 =  (16/3) * 10^2 V

c)  E = 64/15 J

d)  dE = 32/15 J of decrease

Explanation:

Given:

- Capacitor 1, C_1 = 20.0 uF

- Capacitor 2, C_2 = 10.0 uF

- Charged with P.d V = 800 V

Find:

a) the original charge of the system,

(b) the final potential difference across each capacitor

(c) the final energy of the system

(d) the decrease in energy when the capacitors are connected.

Solution:

a)

- The initial charge in the circuit is the one carried by the first charged capacitor.

                           Q_initial = C_1*V

                           Q_initial = 20*10^-6 * 800

                           Q_initial = 16 * 10^-3 C

b)

- After charging the other capacitor, we know that the total charge is conserved among two capacitor:

                          Q_initial = Q_1 + Q_2

- We also know that potential difference across two capacitor is also same.

                          V_1 = V_2 = Q_1 / C_1 = Q_2 / C_2

- Using the two equations and solve for charge Q_2:

                          Q_2 = Q_1*C_2/C_1

                          Q_2 = Q_1*10/20 = 0.5*Q_1

- using conservation of charge:

                          Q_initial = 1.5*Q_1

                          Q_1 = 16*10^-3 / 1.5 = 10.67*10^-3 C

- Hence the Voltage across each capacitor is:

                          V_2 = V_1 = Q_1 / C_1  

                                            = 10.67*10^-3 / 20*10^-6

                                            = (16/3) * 10^2 V

c)

- The energy in the system is:

                          E = 0.5*C_eq*V^2

Where, C_eq is the equivalent capacitance of paralle circuit.

                           E = 0.5*(20+10)*10^-6 *((16/3) * 10^2)^2

                          E = 64/15 J

d)

- The decrease in energy of the capacitors is:

                           dE = E_initial - E_final

Where, E_initial is due to charging of the C_1 only:

                          dE = 0.5*10^-6*20*800^2 - (64/15)

                          dE = 32/5 - 64/15 = 32/15 J

A gas tank is known to have a thickness of 0.5 inches and an internal pressure of 2.2 ksi. Assuming that the maximum allowable s
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

D_o=11.9inch

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Thickness T=0.5

Internal PressureP=2.2Ksi

Shear stress \sigma=12ksi

Elastic modulus \gamma= 35000

Generally the equation for shear stress is mathematically given by

 \sigma=\frac{P*r_1}{2*t}

Where

r_i=internal Radius

Therefore

 12=\frac{2.2*r_1}{2*0.5}

 r_i=5.45

Generally

 r_o=r_1+t

 r_o=5.45+0.5

 r_o=5.95

Generally the equation for outer diameter is mathematically given by

 D_o=2r_o

 D_o=11.9inch

Therefore

Assuming that the thin cylinder is subjected to integral Pressure

Outer Diameter is

 D_o=11.9inch

Problem 34.3 The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E
Natasha2012 [34]

The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

A) P = 65.11 KN

B) Q = 30 KN

Explanation:

We are given;

The end reaction of the beam; F = 100KN

Coefficient of static friction between two steel surfaces;μ_ss = 0.3

Coefficient of static friction between steel and concrete;μ_sc = 0.6

So, F1 = μ_ss•F =0.3 x 100 = 30 KN

F2 = μ_ss•N_EF = 0.3N_EF

From the screen shot, we see that the angle is 12°

Sum of forces in the Y-direction gives;

F2•sin12 - N_EF•cos12 + 100 = 0

Rearranging gives;

N_EF•cos12 - F2•sin12 = 100

Let's put 0.3N_EF for F2 to give;

N_EF•cos12 - 0.3N_EF•sin12 = 100

Thus;

N_EF(0.9158) - 0.1247 = 100

N_EF(0.9781) = 100 + 0.1247

N_EF = 100.1247/0.9158

N_EF = 109.33 KN

Thus, F2 = 0.3N_EF = 0.3 x 109.33 = 32.8 KN

Wedge will move if;

P = (F1 + F2cos12 + N_EFsin12)

Thus;

P = 10 + (32.8 x 0.9781) + (109.33 x 0.2079)

P ≥ 65.11 KN

B) For static equilibrium, Q = F1

Thus, Q = 30 KN
