How to calculate a probability

1 answer:

6 0

Probability is calculated by comparing the odds to a certain event occurring to the number of possible events.

P= $\frac{possibility-of-an-event-occuring}{number-of-total-outcomes}$

For example, take a six-sided dice number 1-6 on each side. The probability of rolling a 4 would be1 in 6 or 1/6. This is because of the six possible outcomes, rolling a 4 is only one of them.

P(4)=1/6

Now take the same dice. The probability of rolling an even number is 3/6. To see why, lets look at the total possible outcomes:

1
2
3
4
5
6

Of the 6 possibilities, 3 are even numbers.

P(even)=3/6 or 1/2

A man weighing 800 N is hanging from a 2 mm diameter titanium wire with a cross-section of 3 x 10^-6 m^2. Will the wire break?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Since stress is greater than ultimate strength, the wire will break.

Step-by-step explanation:

The titanium wire is experimenting an axial load. Ultimate strength equals $2.20\times 10^{8}\,Pa$ . The wire shall break if and only if stress is at least equal to ultimate strength. The equation for axial stress ( $\sigma$ ), measured in pascals, in the wire with circular cross-section is:

$\sigma = \frac{4\cdot F}{\pi\cdot D^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Axial force, measured in newtons.

$D$ - Cross-section diameter, measured in meters.

Please notice that axial force is the weight of the man hanging from wire.

If we know that $F = 800\,N$ and $D = 0.002\,m$ , then the axial stress experimented by the titanium wire is:

$\sigma = \frac{4\cdot (800\,N)}{\pi\cdot (0.002\,m)^{2}}$

$\sigma \approx 2.546\times 10^{8}\,Pa$

Since stress is greater than ultimate strength, the wire will break.

Answer:

R = 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

P = $4000

I = $780

T = 18 months = 18/12 years

$I = \frac{PRT}{100} \\\\780 = \frac{ 4000 \times R \times \frac{18}{12}}{100}\\\\780 = \frac{6000 \times R }{100}\\\\780 = 60R\\\\R = \frac{780}{60} = 13 \%$
