Answer:

d = 10 inch

Explanation:

The farthest distance between the centers, is along the diagonal of the rectangle. Therefore, we need to calculate the diagonal of the rectangle, but counting the fact that we have both circles.

So if, one side is 12 inch, and the other is 14 inch, we can use the Pitagoras theorem which is:

d = √(a²) + (b)²

Where a and b, are the lenght of the rectangle, but without the lenght  of the diameter of both circles.

With this, the expression is this:

d = √(14 - 6)² + (12 - 6)²

d = √64+36

d = √100

d = 10 inches

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

\tau=3.96\ ksi

Explanation:

Given that

d= 1.5 in                      ( 1 in = 0.0254 m)

d= 0.0381 m

P= 75 hp                      ( 1 hp = 745.7 W)

P= 55927.5 W

N= 1800 rpm

We know that power P is given as

P=\dfrac{2\pi N\ T}{60}

T=Torque

N=Speed

55927.5=\dfrac{2\times \pi \times 1800\ T}{60}

T=296.85 N.m

The maximum shear stress is given as

\tau=\dfrac{16 T}{\pi d^3}

\tau=\dfrac{16\times 296.85}{\pi \times 0.0381^3}

\tau=27.35\ MPa

We know that 1 MPa =0.145 ksi

\tau=3.96\ ksi

velikii [3]

Answer:

All these is caused by the repulsion force.

Explanation:

The electroscope produces a series of electric charges that produce a repulsion force when is putted in contact with a electric charged object.

As the physics law mentions, two different forces are repealed, the electrocospe is charged negatively and the object positively, causing a repulsion force that avoids that both objects touch the other.
