Answer:

The force induced on the aircraft is 2.60 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Power transmitted, P_{t} = 8 kW = 8000 W

Now, the force, F is given by:

P_{t} = Force(F)\times velocity(v) = Fv               (1)

where

v = velocity

Now,

For a geo-stationary satellite, the centripetal force, F_{c} is provided by the gravitational force, F_{G}:

F_{c} = F_{G}

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \frac{GM_{e}m{R^{2}}

Thus from the above, velocity comes out to be:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{R}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.979\times 10^{24}}{42166\times 10^{3}}} = 3075.36 m/ s

where

R = R_{e} + H

R = \sqrt{GM_{e}(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}}

where

G = Gravitational constant

T = Time period of rotation of Earth

R is calculated as 42166 km

Now, from eqn (1):

8000 = F\times 3075.36

F = 2.60 N

A gas tank is known to have a thickness of 0.5 inches and an internal pressure of 2.2 ksi. Assuming that the maximum allowable s
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

D_o=11.9inch

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Thickness T=0.5

Internal PressureP=2.2Ksi

Shear stress \sigma=12ksi

Elastic modulus \gamma= 35000

Generally the equation for shear stress is mathematically given by

 \sigma=\frac{P*r_1}{2*t}

Where

r_i=internal Radius

Therefore

 12=\frac{2.2*r_1}{2*0.5}

 r_i=5.45

Generally

 r_o=r_1+t

 r_o=5.45+0.5

 r_o=5.95

Generally the equation for outer diameter is mathematically given by

 D_o=2r_o

 D_o=11.9inch

Therefore

Assuming that the thin cylinder is subjected to integral Pressure

Outer Diameter is

 D_o=11.9inch
