Answer: yes

Explanation: ontop of a tall building, you drop a small peace of metal covered in zinc. it is possible to be very dangerus because of gravity. some one walking on the side walk who gets hit in the head can get a concusion maybe even a brain injury.

A concrete mix design calls for 6.5 sacks of cement, a water/cement ratio of 0.45, and an air content of 2.5%. 1. Complete the m
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

28.6 kg

Explanation:

The final weight can be calculated from the mixing data and formulae which is given as follows:

cement content = \frac{water content}{water - cement ratio}

Computing the parameters and checking the tables gives 28.6 kg.

Suppose the working pressure for a boiler is 10 psig, then what is the corresponding absolute pressure?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

From Fluid Mechanics, we remember that absolute pressure (p_{abs}), measured in pounds per square inch, is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the working pressure (gauge pressure). That is:

p_{abs} = p_{atm}+p_{g} (1)

Where:

p_{atm} - Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

p_{g} - Working pressured of the boiler (gauge pressure), measured in pounds per square inch.

If we suppose that p_{atm} = 14.696\,psi and p_{g} = 10\,psi, then the absolute pressure is:

p_{abs} = 14.696\,psi+10\,psi

p_{abs} = 24.696\,psi

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

How does heat conduction differ from convection?
Helga [31]

Explanation:

Conduction:

     Heat transfer in the conduction occurs due to movement of molecule or we can say that due to movement of electrons in the two end of same the body. Generally,  phenomenon of conduction happens in the case of solid . In conduction heat transfer takes places due to direct contact of two bodies.

Convection:

              In convection heat transfer of fluid takes place due to density difference .In simple words we can say that heat transfer occur due to motion of fluid.

A cylinder with a 6.0 in. diameter and 12.0 in. length is put under a compres-sive load of 150 kips. The modulus of elasticity f
jeka94

Answer:

Final Length = 11.992 in

Final Diameter = 6.001 in

Explanation:

First we calculate the cross-sectional area:

Area = A = πr² = π(3 in)² = 28.3 in²

Now, we calculate the stress:

Stress = Compressive Load/Area

Stress = - 150 kips/28.3 in²

Stress = -5.3 ksi

Now,

Modulus of Elasticity = Stress/Longitudinal Strain

8000 ksi = -5.3 ksi/Longitudinal Strain

Longitudinal Strain = -6.63 x 10⁻⁴

but,

Longitudinal Strain = (Final Length - Initial Length)/Initial Length

-6.63 x 10⁻⁴ = (Final Length - 12 in)/12 in

Final Length = (-6.63 x 10⁻⁴)(12 in) + 12 in

<u>Final Length = 11.992 in</u>

we know that:

Poisson's Ratio = - Lateral Strain/Longitudinal Strain

0.35 = - Lateral Strain/(- 6.63 x 10⁻⁴)

Lateral Strain = (0.35)(6.63 x 10⁻⁴)

Lateral Strain = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴

but,

Lateral Strain = (Final Diameter - Initial Diameter)/Initial Diameter

2.32 x 10⁻⁴ = (Final Diameter - 6 in)/6 in

Final Diameter = (2.32 x 10⁻⁴)(6 in) + 6 in

<u>Final Diameter = 6.001 in</u>
