A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.6 mm; the spe

ankoles [38]

Answer:

F = 8849 N

Explanation:

Given:

Load at a given point = F = 4250 N

Support span = L = 44 mm

Radius = R = 5.6 mm

length thickness of tested material = 12 mm

First compute the flexural strength for circular cross section using the formula below:

σ $_{fs} = F_{f} L / \pi R^{3}$

σ = FL / π R³

Putting the given values in the above formula:

σ = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / π ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 (44 x 1 /1000 )) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 11 / 250 ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 1 / 1000 ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 (0.0056)³

= 338943767.745358

= 338.943768 x 10⁶

σ = 338 x 10⁶ N/m²

Now we compute the load i.e. F from the following formula:

$F_{f}$ = 2 σ $_{fs}$ d³/3 L

F = 2σd³/3L

= 2(338 x 10⁶)(12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3(44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338 x 1000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 1/1000 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 3 / 250 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 27 / 15625000 ) / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 146016 / 125 / 3 ( 44 x 1 / 1000 )

= ( 146016 / 125 ) / (3 ( 11 / 250 ))

= 97344 / 11

F = 8849 N

How much cornfield area would be required if you were to replace all the oil consumed in the United States with ethanol from cor

zaharov [31]

Answer:

2377.35 km

Explanation:

Given the following;

1. A cornfield is 1.5% efficient at converting radiant energy into stored chemical potential energy;

2. The conversion from corn to ethanol is 17% efficient;

3. A 1.2:1 ratio for farm equipment to energy production

4. A 50% growing season and,

5. 200 W/m2 solar insolation.

As per our assumptions,1.2/1 is the ratio for farm equipment to energy production,

So USA need around 45.45% (1/(1+1.2) replacement of fuel energy production which is nearly about = 0.4545*10^{20} J/year = \frac{0.4545*10^{20}}{365*24*3600}=1.44121*10^{12} J/sec

Growing season is only part of year ( Given = 50%),

Net efficiency = 1.5%*17%*50%=0.015*0.17*0.5=0.001275 = 0.1275%

Hence , Actual Energy replacement (Efficiency),

=\frac{1.44121*10^{12}}{0.001275} = 1.13*10^{15} J/sec=1.13*10^{15} W

As per assumption (5),

\because 200 W/m2 solar insolation arequired,

So USA required corn field area = 1.13*10^{15}/200 = 5.65*10^{12} m^{2}

Hence, length of each side of a square,

= (5.65*10^{12} )^{0.5} = 2377.35 km
