Answer:

Maximum Normal Stress σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = 4.08 Ksi

Explanation:

Outer diameter of spherical container D = 17 ft

Convert feet to inches D = 17 x 12 in = 204 inches

Wall thickness t = 0.375 in

Internal Pressure P = 60 Psi

Maximum Normal Stress σ = PD / 4t

σ = PD / 4t

σ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (4 x 0.375 in)

σ = 12,240 / 1.5

σ = 8,160 P/in

σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = PD / 8t

τ = PD / 8t

τ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (8 x 0.375 in)

τ = 12,240 / 3

τ = 4,080 P/in

τ = 4.08 Ksi

The tropics receive more heat from the sun than is radiated away from the tropics, and polar regions radiate more than they rece
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

It is a well known fact that the earth rotates around the sun in an inclined axis which is approximately 23 degree. The inclined nature of earth axis causes variation in the solar heat received at any place on the earth surface. The hemisphere facing the sun due to this axial tilt, gets higher sun energy as compared to the opposite side. The hemisphere which faces the sun will experience summer whereas the hemisphere away from sun will experience winter.

In each of the hemisphere the polar areas will receive higher radiation and longer daytime during the summer season. However it has been observed that there is difference in radiation received at different areas of earth surface and radiated. The tropical areas have lower reflectance and thus a large part of incoming solar radiation have been absorbed along the tropics. The poles though have longer daytime during summer and hence greater solar radiation but due to high reflectance radiate more energy. Thus the tropical areas have surplus energy as compared to deficit energy areas of poles. This difference in energy creates a heat imbalance.

This net heat difference between poles and equator gives rise to a global circulation system leading to flow of heat from the net energy excess areas to deficit areas. This circulation takes place through atmosphere as well as oceans and different process of climate viz. evaporation, transpiration, rainfall, wind, convection, oceanic circulations etc work as tools of this system

A motor car shaft consists of a steel tube 30 mm internal diameter and 4 mm thick. The engine develops 10 kW at 2000 r.p.m. Find
tresset_1 [31]

The maximum shear stress in the tube when the power is transmitted through a 4: 1 gearing is 28.98 MPa.

<h3>What is power?</h3>

Power is the energy transferred per unit time.

Torque is find out by

P = 2πNT/60

10000 = 2π x 2000 x T / 60

T =47.74 N.m

The gear ratio Ne / Ns =4/1

Ns =2000/4 = 500

Ts =Ps x 60/(2π x 500)

Ts =190.96 N.m

Maximum shear stress τ = 16/π x (T / (d₀⁴ - d₁⁴))

τ max =T/J x D/2
where d₁ = 30mm = 0.03 m

           d₀ = 30 +(2x 4) = 38mm =0.038 m

Substitute the values into the equation, we get

τ max = 16 x 190.96 x 0.038 /π x (0.038⁴ - 0.03⁴)

τ max = 28.98 MPa.

Thus, the maximum shear stress in the tube is 28.98 MPa.

dexar [7]

Answer:

The blue Prius, because the Mustang arrived almost in the same time. And when you arrive in an intersection at the same time of other vehicle you need yield for the car on your right if the car is on your left you have the right of way.
