Explanation:

A solid state laser contains a cavity like structure fitted with spherical mirrors or plane mirrors at the end filled with a rigidly bonded crystal. It uses solid as the medium. It uses glass or crystalline materials.

It is known that active medium used for this type of laser is a solid material. This lasers are pumped optically by means of a light source which is used as a source of energy for the laser. The solid materials gets excited by absorbing energy in the form of light from the light source. Here the pumping source is light energy.

A 2-cm-diameter vertical water jet is injected upward by a nozzle at a speed of 15 m/s. Determine the maximum weight of a flat p

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:58.28 N

Explanation:

Given data

$dia. of nozzle \left ( d\right )=2 cm$

$initial velocity\left ( u\right )=15 m/s$

$height\left ( h\right )=2m$

Now velocity of jet at height of 2m

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

$v^2=15^2-2\left ( 9.81\right )\left ( 2\right )$

$v=\sqrt{185.76}=13.62 m/s$

$Now\ forces\ on\ plate\ are\ weight\left ( Downward\right ) and jet\ force\left ( upward\right )$

equating them

W= $\left ( \rho Av\right )v$

W= $10^{3}\times \frac{\pi}{4}\left ( 0.02\right )^2\times 13.62^2$

W=58.28 N

A steel bar is 150 mm square and has a hot-rolled finish. It will be used in a fully reversed bending application. Sut for the s

Xelga [282]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given The bar is square and has a hot-rolled finish. The loading is fully reversed bending.

Tensile Strength

Sut: 600 MPa

Maximum temperature

Tmax: 500 °C

Bar side dimension

b: 150 mm

Alternating stress

σa: 100 MPa

Reliability

R: 0.999 Note 1.

Assumptions Infinite life is required and is obtainable since this ductile steel will have an endurance limit. A reliability factor of 99.9% will be used.

Solution See Excel file Ex06-01.xls.

1 Since no endurance-limit or fatigue strength information is given, we will estimate S'e based on the ultimate tensile strength using equation 6.5a.

S'e: 300 MPa = 0.5 * Sut

2 The loading is bending so the load factor from equation 6.7a is

Cload: 1

3 The part size is greater than the test specimen and the part is not round, so an equivalent diameter based on its 95% stressed area must be determined and used to find the size factor. For a rectangular section in nonrotating bending, the A95 area is defined in Figure 6-25c and the equivalent diameter is found from equation 6.7d

A95: 1125 mm2 = 0.05 * b * b Note 2.

dequiv: 121.2 mm = SQRT(A95val / 0.0766)

and the size factor is found for this equivalent diameter from equation 6.7b, to be

Csize: 0.747 = 1.189 * dequiv^-0.097

4 The surface factor is found from equation 6.7e and the data in Table 6-3 for the specified hot-rolled finish.

Table 6-3 constants

A: 57.7

b: -0.718 Note 3.

Csurf: 0.584 = Acoeff * Sut^bCoeff

5 The temperature factor is found from equation 6.7f :

Ctemp: 0.710 = 1 - 0.0058 * (Tmax - 450)

6 The reliability factor is taken from Table 6-4 for R = 0.999 and is

Creliab: 0.753

7 The corrected endurance limit Se can now be calculated from equation 6.6:

Se: 69.94 MPa = Cload * Csize * Csurf * Ctemp *

Creliab * Sprme

Let

Se: 70 MPa

8 To create the S-N diagram, we also need a value for the estimated strength Sm at 103 cycles based on equation 6.9 for bending loading.

Sm: 540 MPa = 0.9 * Sut

9 The estimated S-N diagram is shown in Figure 6-34 with the above values of Sm and Se. The expressions of the two lines are found from equations 6.10a through 6.10c assuming that Se begins at 106 cycles.

b: -0.2958 Note 4.

a: 4165.7

Plotting Sn as a function of N from equation 6.10a

512000 85

1000000 70

FIGURE 6-34. S-N Diagram and Alternating Stress Line Showing Failure Point

10 The number of cycles of life for any alternating stress level can now be found from equation 6.10a by replacing σa for Sn.

At N = 103 cycles,

Sn3: 540 MPa = aa * 1000^bb

At N = 106 cycles,

Sn6: 70 MPa = aa * 1000000^bb

The figure above shows the intersection of the alternating stress line (σa = 100 MPa) with the failure line at N = 3.0 x 105 cycles.

Compare a series circuit powered by six 1.5-volt batteries to a series circuit powered by a single 9-volt battery. Make sure the

lana [24]

Answer:

Both series circuits provide a total voltage of 9 volts to the two bulbs connected in series and the voltage will be equally divided among two bulbs and they will have same brightness. Therefore, both circuits will have same characteristics.

Explanation:

We are asked to compare two series circuits having equal number of light bulbs.

1st circuit is powered by 6 batteries each having a voltage of 1.5V

2nd circuit is powered by a single battery having a voltage of 9V.

The six batteries in the 1st circuit can be connected together in series or in parallel.

When the batteries are connected in series (positive terminal of one battery connected to negative terminal of another battery) their voltage gets added which means

Voltage of pack = number of batteries*voltage of each battery

Voltage of pack = 6*1.5

Voltage of pack = 9 volts

But the current remains same in the series connection since there is only path for the current to flow.

On the other hand, when the batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage remains same but the current increases.

Circuit 1:

In this circuit, we have 6 batteries each of 1.5 volts connected in series to provide a voltage of 9 volts.

We have connected 2 bulbs in this series circuit.

The voltage will be equally divided between two bulbs if both bulbs are identical in construction.

So there will be 4.5 volts across each bulb and both bulbs will have same brightness.

Circuit 2:

In this circuit, we have 1 battery which provide a voltage of 9 volts.

We have connected 2 bulbs in this series circuit just like in circuit 1.

The voltage will be equally divided between two bulbs if both bulbs are identical in construction.

So there will be 4.5 volts across each bulb and both bulbs will have same brightness.

A horizontal curve on a two-lane road is designed with a 2,300-ft radius, 12-ft lanes, and a 65-mph design speed. Determine the

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

distance = 22.57 ft

superelevation rate = 2%

Explanation:

given data

radius = 2,300-ft

lanes width = 12-ft

no of lane = 2

design speed = 65-mph

solution

we get here sufficient sight distance SSD that is express as

SSD = 1.47 ut + $\frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{g}\pm G)}$ ..............1

here u is speed and t is reaction time i.e 2.5 second and a is here deceleration rate i.e 11.2 ft/s² and g is gravitational force i.e 32.2 ft/s² and G is gradient i.e 0 here

so put here value and we get

SSD = 1.47 × 65 ×2.5 + $\frac{65^2}{30(\frac{11.2}{32.2}\pm 0)}$
