Answer:

Explanation:

Heat engines are used for converting the heat into mechanical energy which is used for doing mechanical work.

The efficiency of heat engine is the fraction of mechanical energy to the thermal energy. The efficiency can not be 100% as some of the energy always loss due to friction and motion of the body parts of the heat engine.

A rectangular open box, 25 ft by 10 ft in plan and 12 ft deep weighs 40 tons. Sufficient amount of stones is placed in the box a

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

44.95 tonnes

Explanation:

According to principle of buoyancy the object will just sink when it's weight is more than the weight of the liquid it displaces

It is given that empty weight of box = 40 tons

Let the mass of the stones to be placed be = M tonnes

Thus the combined mass of box and stones = (40+M) tonnes..........(i)

Since the box will displace water equal to it's volume V we have $volume of box = 25ft*10ft*12ft= 3000ft^{3}$

$Volume= 84.95m^{3}$

$Since 1ft^{3} =0.028m^{3}$

Now the weight of water displaced = $Weight =\rho \times Volumewhererho$ is density of water = 1000kg/ $m^{3}$

Thus weight of liquid displaced = $\frac{84.95X1000}{1000}tonnes=84.95 tonnes$ ..................(ii)

Equating i and ii we get

40 + M = 84.95

thus Mass of stones = 44.95 tonnes

A ductile hot-rolled steel bar has a minimum yield strength in tension and compression of 350 MPa. Using the distortion-energy a

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given question:

Using the distortion energy theory to determine the factors of safety FOS can be expressed by the relation:

$\dfrac{Syt}{FOS}= \sqrt{ \sigma x^2+\sigma y^2-\sigma x \sigma y+3 \tau_{xy^2}}$

where; syt = strength in tension and compression = 350 MPa

The maximum shear stress theory can be expressed as:

$\tau_{max} = \dfrac{Syt}{2FOS}$

where;

$\tau_{max} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{\sigma x-\sigma y}{2})^2+ \tau _{xy^2$

a. Using distortion - energy theory formula:

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{94^2+0^2-94*0+3 (-75)^2}}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}=160.35$

${FOS}=\dfrac{350}{160.35}$

FOS = 2.183

USing the maximum-shear stress theory;

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{94-0}{2})^2+ (-75)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =88.51$

$\dfrac{350}{ FOS} =2 \times 88.51$

${ FOS} =\dfrac{350}{2 \times 88.51}$

FOS = 1.977

b. σx = 110 MPa, σy = 100 MPa

Using distortion - energy theory formula:

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 110^2+100^2-110*100+3(0)^2}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 12100+10000-11000$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}=105.3565$

$FOS=\dfrac{350}{105.3565}$

FOS =3.322

USing the maximum-shear stress theory;

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{110-100}{2})^2+ (0)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} ={ (\dfrac{110-100}{2})^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =25$

FOS = 350/2×25

FOS = 350/50

FOS = 70

c. σx = 90 MPa, σy = 20 MPa, τxy =−20 MPa

Using distortion- energy theory formula:

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 90^2+20^2-90*20+3(-20)^2}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= \sqrt{ 8100+400-1800+1200}$

$\dfrac{350}{FOS}= 88.88$

FOS = 350/88.88

FOS = 3.939

USing the maximum-shear stress theory;

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (\dfrac{90-20}{2})^2+ (-20)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ (35)^2+ (-20)^2$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =\sqrt{ 1225+ 400$

$\dfrac{350}{2 FOS} =40.31$

$FOS} =\dfrac{350}{2*40.31}$

FOS = 4.341
