Modern commercial airliners are largely made of aluminum, a light and strong metal. But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough t

hat airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. Before the discovery of the Hall-Héroult process in , aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of the Boeing 747, which can carry passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, long, wide, and thick (see sketch at right). The fuselage of an airplane Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density ) instead of aluminum (density ), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of . We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Boeing 747 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel.

Answer:

 n = 291 people

Explanation:

To solve this interesting problem we are going to take some data from the tables, the density of 7075 aluminum is 2.8 103 kg / m³, the density of 316 stainless steel is 7980 kg / m³, where we have selected one of the most used alloys in for its resistance.

The average mass of a passenger is mo = 80kg and the Boeing 747 aircraft can carry 550 passengers and a crew of 18 people with a length of 70.66 m,

Let's start by calculating the mass of the empty plane and the mass of the passengers

         ρ_Al = m_Al / V

         m_Al = ρ_Al V

         m_passenger= #_pasajeros 80

         m_passenger = 550 m₀

         

The total mass of the plane is

          M = m_passengers + m_Al

If the plane is built face to face, the mass of this material is

        ρ_Acero = m_steel / V

         

the total mass of avino is

         M = m_pasajeros` + m_steel

As they indicate the total mass of the plane must remain constant

         m_passengers + m_Al = m_passengers` + m_steel

let's substitute the values

         550 m₀ + 2.8 103 V = n m₀ + 7.98 103 V

where V is the volume of the material used which is the same in both cases

         n = 550 mo + (2.8 - 7.98) 103 V = n mo

         n = n = 550 + (2.8 - 7.98) 103 V / mo

The calculation of the volume of material used depends on the thickness of the sheet and the resistance of the material, if it assumes that it has the same thickness, e = 1 cm, approximate the volume to the length of the circle by the length of the cylinder by the thickness

         V = (2π r) L e

  the diameter of the plane approximately the height of the person

         d = 1.8 m

         V = 2π (1.8 / 2) 70.66 1 10⁻²

         V = 3.9957 m³

  we substitute

          n = 550 - 5.18 10³ (3.9957) / 80

          n = 550 - 258.7

          n = 291 people

Can a body have increasing velocity with decreasing acceleration?
Sergio039 [100]
Sure.  The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.

I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration.  That answer isn't simple either.

If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.

BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.

I know that's confusing. 

-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge.  Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative. 

-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction.  Those are the directions of the
velocities.

-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.

When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.

After the body has begun shivering, what explains why it would stop shivering?
Oksana_A [137]
The body shivers to produce energy and it uses the energy to keep it warm. The body would stop shivering when it has produced enough energy to keep it warm and the atmosphere around it has got warmer
