You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The ti

me of impact is .023 sec. Assuming the nail heads directly in the -j direction, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the hammer from the nail?

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically \overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}

The momentum of any body is defines as \overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds

balandron [24]

Answer:

The critical length of surface flaw = 6.176 mm

Explanation:

Given data-

Plane strain fracture toughness Kc = 29.6 MPa-m1/2

Yield Strength = 545 MPa

Design stress. =0.3 × yield strength

= 0.3 × 545

= 163.5 MPa

Dimensionless parameter. Y = 1.3

The critical length of surface flaw is given by

= 1/pi.(Plane strain fracture toughness /Dimensionless parameter× Design Stress)^2

Now putting values in above equation we get,

= 1/3.14( 29.6 / 1.3 × 163.5)^2

=6.176 × 10^-3 m

=6.176 mm

There have been many attempts to manufacture and market plastic bicycles. All have been too flexible and soft. Which design-limi
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The design-limiting property that insufficiently large is the elastic modulus (Young modulus)

Explanation:

Plastic usually have a relatively low elastic modulus, this couses the material to deform too much under stress. In the case of a bicycle, a little weight you put on it or little bumps will cause the bicycle to deform too much.

Conditions of special concern: i. Suggest two reasons each why distillation columns are run a.) above or b.) below ambient press
lutik1710 [3]

Solution :

Methods for selling pressure of a distillation column :

a). Set, \text{based on the pressure required to condensed} the overhead stream using cooling water.

  (minimum of approximate 45°C condenser temperature)

b). Set, \text{based on highest temperature} of bottom product that avoids decomposition or reaction.

c). Set, \text{based on available highest } not utility for reboiler.

Running the distillation column above the ambient pressure because :

The components to be distilled have very high vapor pressures and the temperature at which they can be condensed at or below the ambient pressure.

Run the reactor at an evaluated temperature because :

a). The rate of reaction is taster. This results in a small reactor or high phase conversion.

b). The reaction is endothermic and equilibrium limited increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right.

Run the reaction at an evaluated pressure because :

The reaction is gas phase and the concentration and hence the rate is increased as the pressure is increased. This results in a smaller reactor and /or higher reactor conversion.

The reaction is equilibrium limited and there are few products moles than react moles. As increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium to the right.

Match the following items with their correct description.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A. Manufacturers rating capacity ↔  3. Must be marked on all jacks; must not be exceeded

B. Block Used to lift and hold heavy loads, allow them for travel ↔ 1. Place the jack head against this

C. Level surface ↔ 4. Place this under the base of the jack when it's necessary to provide a firm foundation

D. Jack ↔ 2. Used to lift and hold heavy loads, allow them for travel

Explanation:

The manufacturers rating for a jack is labelled on all jacks and should be referenced to compare with the load to be lifted so as to ensure a safe and successful lifting.

In order to lift a load, such as a car, it is required to place the jack on a level surface to provide balance during the lifting task

The head of the jack is placed against the block for lifting heavy objects for proper performance

A negative pressure respirator brings fresh air to you through a hose<br>A) True<br>B)False​
madreJ [45]

Answer:FALSE

Explanation: A negative pressure respirator is a respiratory system which is known to have a low air pressure inside the mask when compared to the air pressure on the outside during Inhalation.

Most of the personal protective equipment (PPE) which are in use in various industries are examples of Negative pressure respirator device,any leak or damage done to the device will allow the inflows of harmful and toxic Air into the person's respiratory system. AIR SUPPLY SYSTEMS ARE KNOWN TO SUPPLY FRESH UNCONTAMINATED AIR THROUGH AIR STORED INSIDE COMPRESSED CYLINDERS OR OTHER SOURCES AVAILABLE.
