Answer:

The minimum diameter for each cable should be 0.65 inches.

Explanation:

Since, the load is supported by two ropes and the allowable stress in each rope is 1500 psi. Therefore,

(1/2)(Weight/Cross Sectional Area) = Allowable Stress

Here,

Weight = 1000 lb

Cross-sectional area = πr²

where, r = minimum radius for each cable

(1/2)(1000 lb/πr²) = 1500 psi

500 lb/1500π psi = r²

r = √1.061 in²

r = 0.325 in

Now, for diameter:

Diameter = 2(radius) = 2r

Diameter = 2(0.325 in)

<u>Diameter = 0.65 in</u>

When subject to an unknown torque, the shear stress in a 2 mm thick rectangular tube of dimension 100 mm x 200 mm was found to b
laila [671]

Answer:

The shear stress will be 80 MPa

Explanation:

Here we have;

τ = (T·r)/J

For rectangular tube, we have;

Average shear stress given as follows;

Where;

\tau_{ave} = \frac{T}{2tA_{m}}

A_m = 100 mm × 200 mm = 20000 mm² = 0.02 m²

t = Thickness of the shaft in question = 2 mm = 0.002 m

T = Applied torque

Therefore, 50 MPa = T/(2×0.002×0.02)

T = 50 MPa × 0.00008 m³ = 4000 N·m

Where the dimension is 50 mm × 250 mm, which is 0.05 m × 0.25 m

Therefore, A_m = 0.05 m × 0.25 m = 0.0125 m².

Therefore, from the following average shear stress formula, we have;

\tau_{ave} = \frac{T}{2tA_{m}}

Plugging in then values, gives;

\tau_{ave} = \frac{4000}{2\times 0.002 \times 0.0125} = 80,000,000 Pa

The shear stress will be 80,000,000 Pa or 80 MPa.

For laminar flow over a hot flat plate, the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance because (select all that are
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

B. The thickness of the heated region near the plate is increasing.

Explanation:

First we know that, a boundary layer is the layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface where the effects of viscosity are significant. The fluid is often slower due to the effects of viscosity. Advection i.e the transfer of heat by the flow of liquid becomes less since the flow is slower, thereby the local heat transfer coefficient decreases.

From law of conduction, we observe that heat transfer rate will decrease based on a smaller rate of temperature, the thickness therefore increases while the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance.

A train starts from rest at station A and accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2 for 60 s. Afterwards it travels with a constant velocity for
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The distance between the station A and B will be:

x_{A-B}=55.620\: km  

Explanation:

Let's find the distance that the train traveled during 60 seconds.

x_{1}=x_{0}+v_{0}t+0.5at^{2}

We know that starts from rest (v(0)=0) and the acceleration is 0.6 m/s², so the distance will be:

x_{1}=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(60)^{2}

x_{1}=1080\: m

Now, we need to find the distance after 25 min at a constant speed. To get it, we need to find the speed at the end of the first distance.

v_{1}=v_{0}+at

v_{1}=(0.6)(60)=36\: m/s

Then the second distance will be:

x_{2}=v_{1}*1500

x_{2}=(36)(1500)=54000\: m        

The final distance is calculated whit the decelerate value:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{1}^{2}-2ax_{3}

The final velocity is zero because it rests at station B. The initial velocity will be v(1).

0=36^{2}-2(1.2)x_{3}

x_{3}=\frac{36^{2}}{2(1.2)}  

x_{3}=540\: m

Therefore, the distance between the station A and B will be:

x_{A-B}=x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}  

x_{A-B}=1080+54000+540=55.620\: km  

I hope it helps you!
