A rod has a radius of 10 mm is subjected to an axial load of 15 N such that the axial strain in the rod is ????௫ = 2.75*10-6, de

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Knowing we only have one load applied in just one direction we have to use the Hooke's law for one dimension

ex = бx/E

бx = Fx/A = Fx/π $r^{2}$

Using both equation and solving for the modulus of elasticity E

E = бx/ex = Fx / π $r^{2}$ ex

E = $\frac{15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3})^{2} * 2.75 * 10^{-6} } = 17.368 * 10^{9} Pa = 17.4 GPa$

Apply the Hooke's law for either y or z direction (circle will change in every direction) we can find the change in radius

ey = $\frac{1}{E}$ (бy - v (бx + бz)) = $-\frac{v}{E}$ бx

= $\frac{vFx}{Epir^{2} }$ = $\frac{0.23 * 15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3)^{2} } * 17.362 * 10^{9} } = -0.63 *10^{-6}$

Finally

ey = Δr / r

Δr = ey * r = 10 * $-0.63* 10^{-6} mm = -6.3 * 10^{-6} mm$

Δd = 2Δr = $-12.6 * 10^{-6} mm$

What is the mass of a dog running at a speed of 5 m/s and a momentum of 120.5 kgm/s?

viktelen [127]

Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

$\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}$

It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
It is represented by p.
It's SI unit is kg m/s
Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: $\boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}$

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

$\rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{p}{v} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{120.5}{5} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg$

$\therefore$ Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg

Effect of impurities and temperature to surface tension

oksano4ka [1.4K]

In general, surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity. The influence of the surrounding environment is due to the adhesive action of liquid molecules that they have at the interface.
