An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm long has a hole drilled in the center of the bar.The hole is 30mm in diameter and

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Total contraction on the Bar = 1.22786 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm

Diameter for aluminum bar = 40 mm

Hole diameter = 30 mm

Hole length = 100 mm

elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²

compressive load P = 180 KN = 180 × 10³ N

Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???

The relation used in calculating the contraction on the bar is:

$\delta L = \dfrac{P *L }{A*E}$

The relation used in calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :

Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)

i.e

Total contraction on the Bar = $\dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} + \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}$

Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole

Area of cross section without the hole is :

Using A = πd²/4

A = π (40)²/4

A = 1256.64 mm²

Area of cross section with the hole is :

A = π (40²-30²)/4

A = 549.78 mm²

Total contraction on the Bar = $\dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} + \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}$

Total contraction on the Bar = $\dfrac{180 *10^3 \N }{85*10^3 \ N/mm^2} [\dfrac{500}{1256.64}+ \dfrac{100}{549.78}]$

Total contraction on the Bar = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)

Total contraction on the Bar = 2.117*(0.58)

Total contraction on the Bar = 1.22786 mm

Two different liquids are poured into a jar until it is half full. The jar is then sealed shut and shaken. The liquids undergo a

Lilit [14]

Answer:

A closed system.

Explanation:

The three major types of system are: open, closed and isolated. Open system interacts with its surroundings with respect to its particles and energy. A closed system interacts with its surroundings with respect to energy but not its particles. While an isolated system does not interact with its surroundings in any way.

Therefore, after the jar is sealed, it is an example of a closed system. This is because the emitted gas could not escape into the surroundings, but thermal energy was emitted into its surroundings after the chemical reaction has taken place.

What are potential impacts of pollution on a watershed? Check all that apply.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

contaminated drinking water

deaths of sea creatures that are used as a food source

limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing

Explanation:

A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.

Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.

A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 3.3 rad/s2. The diameter of the wheel is 21 cm. What

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular acceleration, $\alpha=3.3 rad/s^2$

Diameter of the wheel, d=21 cm

Radius of wheel, $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{21}{2}$ cm

Radius of wheel, $r=\frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2} m$

1m=100 cm

Magnitude of total linear acceleration, a= $1.7 m/s^2$

We have to find the linear speed of a at an instant when that point has a total linear acceleration with a magnitude of 1.7 m/s2.

Tangential acceleration, $a_t=\alpha r$

$a_t=3.3\times \frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2}$

$a_t=34.65\times 10^{-2}m/s^2$

Radial acceleration, $a_r=\frac{v^2}{r}$

We know that

$a=\sqrt{a^2_t+a^2_r}$

Using the formula

$1.7=\sqrt{(34.65\times 10^{-2})^2+(\frac{v^2}{r})^2}$

Squaring on both sides

we get

$2.89=1200.6225\times 10^{-4}+\frac{v^4}{r^2}$

$\frac{v^4}{r^2}=2.89-1200.6225\times 10^{-4}$

$v^4=r^2\times 2.7699$

$v^4=(10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699$

$v=((10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$v=0.418 m/s$

Hence, the the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s

Why does a properly adjusted head restraint help prevent head and neck injuries to occupants in rear-end collisions? Explain you

hammer [34]

When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.
