Answer:
The trunks were all cut at the same lenght, 9 Carolingian feet, easier to carry away and to build. The construction was built by a team of four people, using traditional tools such as a hand saw, clamp, gimlet, Catalan type axe, wood hammer, chisel, two-handed wood saw, heavy wood hammer and metal wedges.
Explanation:
Answer:
Recall the formula for the maximum stress, σₐ = 2σ₀ *√ (α/ρₓ)
where
σ₀ = tensile stress = 140 MPa = 1.40x 10⁸Pa
α = crack length = 3.8 × 10–2 mm = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵m
ρₓ = radius of curvature = 1.9 × 10⁻⁴mm = 1.9 × 10⁻⁷m
Substituting these values into the formula, we can calculate the max stress as
====== 2 x 1.40x 10⁸ x √(3.8 x 10⁻⁵/1.9 × 10⁻⁷)
σₐ = 24.4MPa
