A device is needed to accelerate a 3000 lb vehicle into a barrier with constant velocity to test its 5 mph bumpers. The vehicle

will start at rest, move forward, and have constant velocity for the last part of its motion before striking the barrier with the specified velocity.
Design a cam-follower system to do this. The vehicle will leave contact with your follower just prior to the crash.

Answer:

The cam-follower system is designed such that the vehicle will move at a speed, v = \frac{Fgt}{W}

Explanation:

The vehicle starts at rest, u = 0 m/s

Some force, F, will be applied by the device on the truck

The force is given by the equation, F = ma

a = F/m..........(1)

The weight of the vehicle is given by W = mg

m = W/g.........(2)

Substituting equation (2) into (1)

a = F ÷ (W/g)

a = gF/W............(3)

The applied force makes the vehicle to move with constant velocity, v

From the equation of motion, v = u + at............(4)

v = 0 + (gF/W)t

v = \frac{Fgt}{W}

Answer:

The device acceleration is

a = f/m = f/(w/g)=fg/w

The velocity v is

v= u +at

When u =o

v = at

Substitute the value of a

v = fgt/w

A transformer winding contains 900 turns of wire which creates 400 ohms of primary importance how many terms of the same size wi
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: 255

255 turns are required to create 25 ohms of  secondary impedance.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in primary wire N₁ = 900

impedance on Primary wire Z₁ = 400 ohms

Number of turns in Secondary wire N₂ = ?

impedance on Secondary wire Z₂ = 25 ohms

we know that, the relationship between turn and impedance is

Zp / Zs = ( Np / Ns )²

(Primary impedance / secondary impedance) = Number of turns in primary wire / Number of turns in secondary wire)²

there fore

Z₁ / Z₂ = ( N₁ / N₂ )²

Now we substitute

( 400 / 25 ) = ( 900 / N₂ )²

400 / 25 = 900² / N₂²

we cross multiple to get our N₂

400 × N₂² =  900² × 25

N₂² = ( 900² × 25 ) / 400

N₂² = ( 810000 × 25 ) / 400

N₂² = 20250000 / 400

N₂² = 50625

N₂ = √50625

N₂ = 225

Therefore 255 turns are required to create 25 ohms of  secondary impedance.

A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the speed of an aircraft flying at 3000 m. If the differential pressure reading is 3200
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Speed of aircraft ; (V_1) = 83.9 m/s

Explanation:

The height at which aircraft is flying = 3000 m

The differential pressure = 3200 N/m²

From the table i attached, the density of air at 3000 m altitude is; ρ = 0.909 kg/m3

Now, we will solve this question under the assumption that the air flow is steady, incompressible and irrotational with negligible frictional and wind effects.

Thus, let's apply the Bernoulli equation :

P1/ρg + (V_1)²/2g + z1 = P2/ρg + (V_2)²/2g + z2

Now, neglecting head difference due to high altitude i.e ( z1=z2 ) and V2 =0 at stagnation point.

We'll obtain ;

P1/ρg + (V_1)²/2g = P2/ρg

Let's make V_1 the subject;

(V_1)² = 2(P1 - P2)/ρ

(V_1) = √(2(P1 - P2)/ρ)

P1 - P2 is the differential pressure and has a value of 3200 N/m² from the question

Thus,

(V_1) = √(2 x 3200)/0.909)

(V_1) = 83.9 m/s

The critical resolved shear stress for a metal is 39 MPa. Determine the maximum possible yield strength (in MPa) for a single cr
damaskus [11]

Answer:

78 MPa

Explanation:

Given that the critical resolved shear stress for a metal is 39 MPa, the maximum possible yield strength for a single crystal of this metal is twice the critical resolved shear stress for the metal. The maximum yield yield strength for a single crystal of this metal that is pulled in tension (\sigma_y) is given as:

\sigma_y=2*critical\ resolved\ shear\ stress(\tau_{css})\\\\\sigma_y=2*\tau_{css}\\\\\sigma_y=2*39\\\\\sigma_y=78\ MPa

The settlement of foundations is typically the result of three separate occurrences that take place in the soil which provides s
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The differences are listed below

Explanation:

The differences between consolidation and compaction are as follows:

In compaction the mechanical pressure is used to compress the soil. In consolidation, there is an application of stead pressure.

In compaction, there is a dynamic load by rapid mechanical methods like tamping, rolling, etc. In consolidation, there is static and sustained pressure applied for a long time.

In compaction, the soil volume is reduced by removing air from the void. In consolidation, the soil volume is reduced by squeezing out water from the pores.

Compaction is used for sandy soil, consolidation on the other hand, is used for clay soil.
