Answer:
The hardenability increases with increasing austenite grain size, because the grain boundary area is decreasing. This means that the sites for the nucleation of ferrite and pearlite are being reduced in number, with the result that these transformations are slowed down, and the hardenability is therefore increased.
Answer: r = 0.8081; s = -0.07071
Explanation:
A = (150i + 270j) mm
B = (300i - 450j) mm
C = (-100i - 250j) mm
R = rA + sB + C = 0i + 0j
R = r(150i + 270j) + s(300i - 450j) + (-100i - 250j) = 0i + 0j
R = (150r + 300s - 100)i + (270r - 450s - 250)j = 0i + 0j
Equating the i and j components;
150r + 300s - 100 = 0
270r - 450s - 250 = 0
150r + 300s = 100
270r - 450s = 250
solving simultaneously,
r = 0.8081 and s = -0.07071
QED!
