A wood pipe having an inner diameter of 3 ft. is bound together using steel hoops having a cross sectional area of 0.2 in.2 The
allowable stress for the hoops is σallos=11.4 ksi. Determine the maximum spacing s along the pipe so that the pipe can resist an internal gauge pressure of 4 psi.
1 answer:
Answer:
31.67 in
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter of the pipe, D = 3ft = 36 in
cross-sectional area of the steel = 0.2 in²
Note: Refer to the figure attached
From the free body diagram represented in the figure, we have
ΣFx = 0
or
pressure × projected area = 2 × Force in steel
Now, the projected area = spacing (s) × diameter of the wood pipe
force in steel = stress in steel (σ) × cross-sectional area of the steel
on substituting the values we get
4 ksi × (s × 36 in) = 2 × σ × 0.2 in²
also, allowable hoop stress = 11.4 ksi
thus,
σ = 11.4 ksi = 11.4 × 10³ psi
therefore, we have
4 psi × (s × 36 in) = 2 × 11.4 × 10³ psi × 0.2 in²
thus,
s = 31.67 in
hence the maximum spacing is 31.67 in

We have,
Distance traveled in a circular track is 500 miles
The winning time was 3 hours and 13 minutes. It means time is 3.217 hours.
The driver's average speed is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Its formula can be written as :
At the end of the race, the driver reaches the point form where he has started. It means the displacement of the driver is equal to 0. Hence, driver's average velocity is equal to 0.
