Explanation:

McLeod gauge:

It is used to measure very low pressure of gas.It measure gas pressure by the help of mercury(Hg).it measure absolute pressure of gas.

McLeod gauge on the principle of Boyle's law.Boyle's law state that ,at constant temperature the pressure of gas is directly proportional to its volume.From Boyle's law

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

A sample of gas is taken from vacuum then its pressure is measured by help Hg.

Answer:

v = 40 m/s

Explanation:

Difference in the height of the two columns:

$h_m = \triangle h = 10 cm \\h_m = 0.1 m$

Air density, $\rho_{air} = 1.225 kg/m^3$

Water density, $\rho_{w} = 1000 kg/m^3$

The velocity of air flow is given by the equation:

$v = \sqrt{2gh_m (\frac{p_w}{p_{air}} - 1) } \\\\v = \sqrt{2*9.81*0.1 (\frac{1000}{1.225} - 1) }\\\\v = 40 m/s$

Describe the "Bauschinger Effect" on the stress strain behaviour of steel

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The Bauschinger effect is the directionally determined change in the elasticity limit of a metal or alloy after primary plastic deformation. If you first deform a metal in one direction so that it is plastically deformed and then deform it in the opposite direction, the elastic limit in the opposite direction is lower.

From the point of view of the dislocation mechanism of plastic deformation, the Bauschinger effect indicates that during repeated deformation, it is easier for dislocations blocked in front of obstacles to move in the direction opposite to their movement during preliminary plastic deformation.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

676 ft

Explanation:

Minimum sight distance, d_min

d_min = 1.47 * v_max * t_total where v_max is maximum velocity in mi/h, t_total is total time

v_max is given as 50 mi/h

t_total is sum of time for right-turn and adjustment time=8.5+0.7=9.2 seconds

Substituting these figures we obtain d_min=1.47*50*9.2=676.2 ft

For practical purposes, this distance is taken as 676 ft
