A driver is traveling at 52 mi/h on a wet road. an object is spotted on the road 415 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to

a stop just before hitting the object. assuming standard perception/ reaction time and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.

Answer:

G = 0.424

Explanation:

Ds = ( 0.278tr * V ) + (0.278 * V²)/ ( 19.6* ( f ± G))

Where Ds = stopping sight distance = 415miles = 126.5m

G = absolute grade road

V = velocity of vehicle = 52miles/hr

f = friction = 0 because the road is wet

tr = standard perception / reaction time = 2.5s

So therefore:

Substituting to get G

We have

2479.4G = 705.6G + 751.72

1773.8G = 751.72

G = 751.72/1773.8

G = 0.424

Air is pumped from a vacuum chamber until the pressure drops to 3 torr. If the air temperature at the end of the pumping process
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The final pressure is 3.16 torr

Solution:

As per the question:

The reduced pressure after drop in it, P' = 3 torr = 3\times 0.133\ kPa

At the end of pumping, temperature of air, T = 5^{\circ}C = 278 K

After the rise in the air temperature, T' = 20^{\circ}C = 293 K

Now, we know the ideal gas eqn:

PV = mRT

So

P = \frac{m}{V}RT

P = \rho_{a}RT          (1)

where

P = Pressure

V = Volume

\rho_{a} = air\ density

R = Rydberg's constant

T = Temperature

Using eqn (1):

P = \rho_{a}RT

\rho_{a} = \frac{P}{RT}

\rho_{a} = \frac{3 times 0.133\times 10^{3}}{0.287\times 278} = 0.005 kg/m^{3}

Now, at constant volume the final pressure, P' is given by:

\frac{P}{T} = \frac{P'}{T'}

P' = \frac{P}{T}\times T'

P' = \frac{3}{278}\times 293 = 3.16 torr

A square steel bar has a length of 7.2 ft and a 2.5 in by 2.5 in cross section and is subjected to axial tension. The final leng
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

A) ν = 0.292

B) ν = 0.381

Explanation:

Poisson's ratio = - (Strain in the direction of the load)/(strain in the direction at right angle to the load)

In axial tension, the direction of the load is in the length's direction and the direction at right angle to the load is the side length

Strain = change in length/original length = (Δy)/y or (Δx)/x or (ΔL/L)

A) Strain in the direction of the load = (2.49946 - 2.5)/2.5 = - 0.000216

Strain in the direction at right angle to the load = (7.20532 - 7.2)/7.2 = 0.0007389

Poisson's ratio = - (-0.000216)/(0.0007389) = 0.292

B) Strain in the direction of the load = (2.09929 - 2.1)/2.1 = - 0.0003381

Strain in the direction at right angle to the load = (5.30470 - 5.3)/5.3 = 0.0008868

Poisson's ratio = - (-0.0003381)/(0.0008868) = 0.381

What factors are likely to promote the formation of stress corrosion cracks?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Stress corrosion cracking

Explanation:

This occurs when susceptible materials subjected to an environment that causes cracking effect by the production of folds and tensile stress. This also depends upon the nature of the corrosive environment.

Factors like high-temperature water, along with Carbonization and chlorination, static stress, and material properties.
