Why are bridges declared unsafe after a long use​

Physics
1 answer:
lina2011 [118]3 years ago
8 0

After it's long use, the bridge continuously undergoes through alternating strains. in result, the elastic strength of the bridge gets reduced. while the process goes on the bridge makes elastic fatigue and a permanent change happens which makes it collapse which is the reason why bridges are declared unsafe after a long use​ :)

The mass of the uniform cantilever is 1100 kg. Determine the force on the beam at A. Determine the force on the beam at B. Use C
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Force A=-−2,697.75 N

Force B=13, 488.75 N

Explanation:

Taking moments at point A, the sum of clockwise and anticlockwise moments equal to zero.

25 mg-20Fb=0

25*1100g=20Fb

Fb=25*1100g/20=1375g

Taking g as 9.81 then Fb=1375*9.81=13,488.75 N

The sum of upward and downward forces are same hence Fa=1100g-1375g=-275g

-275*9.81=−2,697.75. Therefore, force A pulls downwards

Note that the centre of gravity is taken to be half the whole length hence half of 50 is 25 m because center of gravity is always at the middle

A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 3.5 seconds later. What is the depth of the well? Take the spee
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The depth of the well, s = 54.66 m

Given:

time, t = 3.5 s

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

Solution:

By using second equation of motion for the distance traveled by the stone when dropped into a well:

s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Since, the stone is dropped, its initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

and acceleration is due to gravity only, the above eqn can be written as:

s = \frac{1}{2}gt'^{2}

s = \frac{1}{2}9.8t^{2} = 4.9t'^{2}                     (1)

Now, when the sound inside the well travels back, the distance covered,s is given by:

s = v\times t''

s = 343\times t''                                              (2)

Now, total time taken by the sound to travel:

t = t' + t''

t'' = 3.5 - t'                                                                        (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

s = 343(3.5 - t')                                                                 (4)

from eqn (1) and (4):

4.9t'^{2} = 343(3.5 - t')

4.9t'^{2} + 343t' - 1200.5 = 0

Solving the above quadratic eqn:

t' = 3.34 s

Now, substituting t' = 3.34 s in eqn (2)

s = 54.66 m
