Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "tension force".

Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground. This equilibrium that the tension force gives among the different elements of the bridge, gives the support to hold the bridge together.

Answer:

A. Tension force

Explanation:

These are bridges that use cables to hold the road way up.

The cables in a suspension bridge receive the tension force of the bridge. These cables transmit these forces to the towers supporting the bridge and are compressed into the ground.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

A steel pipe of 12-in. outer diameter is fabricated from 1 4 -in.-thick plate by welding along a helix that forms an angle of 25
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Normal stress = 66/62.84 = 1.05kips/in²

shearing stress  = T/2 = 0.952/2 = 0.476 kips/in²

Explanation:

A steel pipe of 12-in. outer diameter  d₂ =12in  d₁= 12 -4in = 8in

4 -in.-thick  

angle of 25°

Axial force P = 66 kip axial force

determine the normal and shearing stresses

Normal stress б = force/area = P/A

           = 66/ (П* (d₂²-d₁²)/4

           =66/ (3.142* (12²-8²)/4

          = 66/62.84 = 1.05kips/in²

Tangential stress T = force* cos ∅/area = P/A

           = 66* cos 25/ (П* (d₂²-d₁²)/4

           =59.82/ (3.142* (12²-8²)/4

          = 59.82/62.84 = 0.952kips/in²

shearing stress  = tangential stress /2

                           = T/2 = 0.952/2 = 0.476 kips/in²

A 2.5 kg tribble is placed in a bucket and whirled in a 1.4 m radius vertical circle at a constant tangential speed. If the forc
Over [174]

Given that,

Mass of a tribble, m = 2.5 kg

Radius, r = 1.4 m

The force on the tribble from the bucket does not exceed 10 times its weight.

To find,

The maximum tangential speed.

Solution,

The force acting on the tribble is equal to the centripetal force.

F = 10mg

The formula for the centripetal force is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is maximum tangential speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{mgr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{{10gr}} \\\\v=\sqrt{10\times 9.8\times 1.4} \\\\v=11.7\ m/s

So, the maximum tangential speed is 11.7 m/s.
