Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The angle between their transmission axes, θ = 60°

Now,

We have the relation,

I₁ = I₀cos²θ

where,

I₁ is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

on rearranging, we get

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=cos²60°

or

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=0.5

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Let I₀ be the intensity of polarised light from first polariser . After first polarisation, in the second polarisation, intensity changes as follows

I = I₀  Cos² θ⁰

I = I₀  Cos² 60⁰

=  I₀  1 / 2² = I₀ / 4

So , 1/4 or one fourth of intensity from first polariser gets through the second polariser.

A block of 250-mm length and 54 × 40-mm cross section is to support a centric compressive load P. The material to be used is a b
musickatia [10]

Answer:

P = 17.28*10⁶ N

Explanation:

Given

L = 250 mm = 0.25 m

a = 0.54 m

b = 0.40 m

E = 95 GPa = 95*10⁹ Pa

σmax = 80 MPa = 80*10⁶ Pa

ΔL = 0.12%*L = 0.0012*0.25 m = 3*10⁻⁴ m

We get A as follows:

A = a*b = (0.54 m)*(0.40 m) = 0.216 m²

then, we apply the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)  ⇒ P = ΔL*A*E/L

⇒  P = (3*10⁻⁴ m)*(0.216 m²)*(95*10⁹ Pa)/(0.25 m)

⇒  P = 24624000  N = 24.624*10⁶ N

Now we can use the equation

σ = P/A

⇒  σ = (24624000  N)/(0.216 m²) = 114000000 Pa = 114 MPa > 80 MPa

So σ > σmax  we use σmax

⇒  P = σmax*A = (80*10⁶ Pa)*(0.216 m²) = 17280000 N = 17.28*10⁶ N
