Answer: safety factor= 1.26

safety factor does not exceed 2. Therefore, it is not safe to operate.

Explanation:

Express the stress infinity factor (k) that relate to the crack length (Q) applied stress for the centre crack of the plate.

K= Fsq √ πa/Q

Here,

the dimension less function quality is F

Crack length is a

Q= 1 + 1.48(a/c)^1.65

The surface length is c

c= 25mm

a= 15mm

Substitute c= 25mm and a=15mm into the equation

Q= 1 + 1.48(15mm/25mm)^1.65

Q= 1 + 1.48(0.6)^1.65

Q= 1 + 0.630

Q= 1.630

Find the stress intensity factor of the corresponding ratio of 0.4 and 0.12

Where

F= 1.12

S= 250mpa

Q= 1.63

a= 15mm

Substitute into the qequation

K= (1.12) (250mpa) √π(15mm× (1/1000mm))/1.63

K= (1.12) (250mpa)√47.1mm× (1/1000mm))/1.63

K= 2.80mpa √0.0471× (1m)/1.63

K= 280mpa × 0.170√m

K= 476mpa√m

Calculate the safety

Xk= Kk/K

Where fraction toughness is Kk

From the table of fraction toughness, corresponding tensile property for metal at room temperature, select this fraction toughness for ASTM A470-8 steel.

Substitute 47.6mpa√m for k

60mpa√m for Kk

Xk= 60mpa√m/47.6mpa√m

Xk= 1.26

In conclusion, from the above result, safety factor does not exceed 2. Therefore, it is not safe to operate.

Based on these statements:
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

the third statement is true

Explanation:

given data

Lenovos cost more than Dells

Lenovos cost less than Apples

solution

we have given 1st statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell)     ..................1

and

2nd statement that is express as

cost (Lenovo) < cost (Apple)

so we can say it as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo)       ......................2

and

now above Both equation 1 and 2 can be written as

cost (Apple) > cost (Lenovo) > cost (Dell)      .........................3

so we can say cost of Apples is more than the cost of Lenovos and the cost of Dells

so as that given 3rd statement is true

A race car is travelling around a circular track. The velocity of the car is 20 m/s, the radius of the track is 300 m, and the m
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

μ = 0.136

Explanation:

given,

velocity of the car = 20 m/s

radius of the track = 300 m

mass of the car = 2000 kg

centrifugal force

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

F_c = \dfrac{2000\times 20^2}{300}

F c = 2666. 67 N

F f= μ N

F f = μ m g

2666.67  =  μ × 2000 × 9.8

μ = 0.136

so, the minimum coefficient of friction between road surface and car tyre is equal to μ = 0.136

Soils with low percolation rates do not need special attention during site engineering. select one: true false
saveliy_v [14]

It is accurate to say that site engineering does not require particular consideration for soils with low percolation rates.

<h3>What are percolation rates?</h3>
  • The rate at which water percolates through the soil is a measure of its ability to absorb and treat effluent, or wastewater that has undergone preliminary treatment in a septic tank.
  • Minutes per inch are used to measure percolation rate (mpi).
  • The process of a liquid gently moving through a filter is called percolation. This is how coffee is typically brewed.
  • The Latin verb percolare, which meaning "to strain through," is the source of the word "percolation." When liquid is strained through a filter, such as when making coffee, percolation occurs.
