A tool chest has 950 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

The surface has a coefficient of friction of 0.3. Determine the value of the horizontal force P necessary to cause motion of the chest to the right, and determine if the motion is sliding or tipping. The value of P is N. The motion is .

Answer:

P > 142.5 N (→)

the motion sliding

Explanation:

Given

W = 959 N

μs = 0.3

If we apply

∑ Fy = 0 (+↑)

Ay + By = W

If Ay = By

2*By = W

By = W / 2

By = 950 N / 2

By = 475 N (↑)

Then we can get F (the force of friction) as follows

F = μs*N = μs*By

F = 0.3*475 N

F = 142.5 N (←)

we can apply

P - F > 0

P > 142.5 N (→)

Murljashka [212]

A 260 ft (79.25m) length of size 4 AWG uncoated copper wire operating at a temperature of 75°c has a resistance of 0.0792 ohm.

Explanation:

From the given data the area of size 4 AWG of the code is 21.2 mm², then K is the Resistivity of the material at 75°c is taken as ( 0.0214 ohm mm²/m ).

To find the resistance of 260 ft (79.25 m) of size 4 AWG,

R= K * L/ A

K = 0.0214 ohm mm²/m

L = 79.25 m

A = 21.2 mm²

R = 0.0214 * $\frac{79.25}{21.2}$

= 0.0214 * 3.738

= 0.0792 ohm.

Thus the resistance of uncoated copper wire is 0.0792 ohm

You are evaluating the lifetime of a turbine blade. The blade is 4 cm long and there is a gap of 0.16 cm between the tip of the

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given conditions

1)The stress on the blade is 100 MPa

2)The yield strength of the blade is 175 MPa

3)The Young’s modulus for the blade is 50 GPa

4)The strain contributed by the primary creep regime (not including the initial elastic strain) was 0.25 % or 0.0025 strain, and this strain was realized in the first 4 hours.

5)The temperature of the blade is 800°C.

6)The formula for the creep rate in the steady-state regime is dε /dt = 1 x 10-5 σ4 exp (-2 eV/kT)

where: dε /dt is in cm/cm-hr σ is in MPa T is in Kelvink = 8.62 x 10-5 eV/K

Young Modulus, E = Stress, $\sigma$ /Strain, ∈

initial Strain, $\epsilon_i = \frac{\sigma}{E}$

$\epsilon_i = \frac{100\times 10^{6} Pa}{50\times 10^{9} Pa}$

$\epsilon_i = 0.002$

creep rate in the steady state

$\frac{\delta \epsilon}{\delta t} = (1 \times {10}^{-5})\sigma^4 exp^(\frac{-2eV}{kT} )$

$\frac{\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}}{t_{initial}-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}exp(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )(800+273)K} )$

but Tinitial = 0

$\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}} = 0.002 - 0.003 = -0.001$

$\frac{-0.001}{-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}\times 10^{(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )1073K} )}$

solving the above equation,

we get

Tfinal = 2459.82 hr

Where’s the silicone rubber are made ? In a machine, vulcanization… explain please !!!!! I need help

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: This is done by heating a large volume of quartz sand to temperatures as high as 1800˚C. The result is pure, isolated silicon, which is allowed to cool and then ground into a fine powder. To make silicone, this fine silicon powder is combined with methyl chloride and heated once again.

A rich industrialist was found murdered in his house. The police arrived at the scene at 11:00 PM. The temperature of the corpse

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The dude was killed around 6:30PM

Explanation:

Newton's law of cooling states:

$T = T_m + (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

where,

$T_0$ = initial temp

$T_m$ = temp of room

$T$ = temp after t hours

$k$ = how fast the temp is changing

$t$ = time (hours)

$T_0 = 31$ because the body was initlally 31ºC when the police found it

$T_m = 22$ because that was the room temp

$T = 30$ because the body temp drop to 30ºC after 1 hour

t = 1 because that's the time it took for the body temp to drop to 30ºC

$k=???$ we don't know k so we must solve for this

rearrange the equation to solve for k

$T = T_m + (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$T - T_m= (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$\frac{T - T_m}{(T_0-T_m)}= e^{kt}$

$ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})=kt$

$\frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{t}=k$

plug in the numbers to solve for k

$k = \frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{t}$

$k = \frac{ln(\frac{30 - 22}{31-22})}{1}$

$k=ln(\frac{8}{9})$

Now that we know the value for k, we can find the moment the murder occur. A crucial information that the question left out is the temperature of a human body when they're still alive. A living human body is about 37ºC. We can use that as out initial temperature to solve this problem because we can assume that the freshly killed body will be around 37ºC.

$T_0 = 37$ because the body was 37ºC right after being killed

$T_m = 22$ because that was the room temp

$T = 31$ because the body temp when the police found it

$k=ln(\frac{8}{9})$ we solved this earlier

t = ??? we don't know how long it took from the time of the murder to when the police found the body

Rearrange the equation to solve for t

$T = T_m + (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$T - T_m= (T_0-T_m)e^{kt}$

$\frac{T - T_m}{(T_0-T_m)}= e^{kt}$

$ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})=kt$

$\frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{k}=t$

plug in the values

$t=\frac{ln(\frac{T - T_m}{T_0-T_m})}{k}$

$t=\frac{ln(\frac{31 - 22}{37-22})}{ln(8/9)}$

$t=\frac{ln(3/5)}{ln(8/9)}$

$t=\frac{ln(3/5)}{ln(8/9)}$

t ≈ 4.337 hours from the time the body was killed to when the police found it.

The police found the body at 11:00PM so subtract 4.337 from that.

11 - 4.33 = 6.66 ≈ 6:30PM
