Problem 34.3 The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E

and F. The base plate CD has been welded to the lower flange of the beam, and the end reaction of the beam is known to be 100 kN. The coefficient of static friction is 0.30 between two steel surfaces and 0.60 between steel and concrete. If the horizontal motion of the beam is prevented by the force Q, determine (a) the force P required to raise the beam, (b) the corresponding force Q.

The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

A) P = 65.11 KN

B) Q = 30 KN

Explanation:

We are given;

The end reaction of the beam; F = 100KN

Coefficient of static friction between two steel surfaces;μ_ss = 0.3

Coefficient of static friction between steel and concrete;μ_sc = 0.6

So, F1 = μ_ss•F =0.3 x 100 = 30 KN

F2 = μ_ss•N_EF = 0.3N_EF

From the screen shot, we see that the angle is 12°

Sum of forces in the Y-direction gives;

F2•sin12 - N_EF•cos12 + 100 = 0

Rearranging gives;

N_EF•cos12 - F2•sin12 = 100

Let's put 0.3N_EF for F2 to give;

N_EF•cos12 - 0.3N_EF•sin12 = 100

Thus;

N_EF(0.9158) - 0.1247 = 100

N_EF(0.9781) = 100 + 0.1247

N_EF = 100.1247/0.9158

N_EF = 109.33 KN

Thus, F2 = 0.3N_EF = 0.3 x 109.33 = 32.8 KN

Wedge will move if;

P = (F1 + F2cos12 + N_EFsin12)

Thus;

P = 10 + (32.8 x 0.9781) + (109.33 x 0.2079)

P ≥ 65.11 KN

B) For static equilibrium, Q = F1

Thus, Q = 30 KN

Say you have a random, unordered list containing 4096 four-digit numbers. Describe the most efficient way to: sort the list and
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

It is given that numbers are four-digit so maximum value of a number in this list could be 9999.

So we need to sort a list of integers, where each integer lies between [0,9999].

For these given constraints we can use counting sort which will run in linear time i.e. O(n).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Psuedo Code:

countSort(int numList[]) {

int count[10000];

count[i] = 0; for all i;

for(int num in numList){

count[num]+= 1;

}

return count;

}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Searching in this count array will be just O(1).

E.g. Lets say we want to search if 3 was present in the original list.

Case 1: it was present in the original list:

Then the count[3] would have been incremented by our sorting algorithm. so in case element exists then count value of that element will be greater than 0.

Case 2: it was not present:

In this case count[3] will remain at 0. so in case element does not exist then count of that element will be 0.

So to search for an element, say x, we just need to check if count[x]>0.

So search is O(1).

Run times:

Sorting: O(n)

Search: O(1)

1. Examine the following circuit. Find RT, I3, R1, R2, R3, V1, V2 and V3. Show all of your work clearly below.
Mkey [24]

Explanation:

Ohm's law is used here. V = IR, and variations. The voltage across all elements is the same in this parallel circuit. (V1 =V2 =V3)

The total supply current is the sum of the currents in each of the branches. (It = I1 +I2 +I3)

Rt = (8 V)/(8 A) = 1 Ω . . . . supply voltage divided by supply current

I3 = 8A -3A -4A = 1 A . . . . supply current not flowing through other branches

R1 = (8 V)/(3 A) = 8/3 Ω

R2 = (8 V)/(4 A) = 2 Ω

R3 = (8 V)/(I3) = (8 V)/(1 A) = 8 Ω

V1 = V2 = V3 = 8 V

Find the following for an input of 120 VAC(RMS), 60 hertz, given a 10:1 stepdown transformer, and a full-wave bridge rectifier.
atroni [7]

Answer:

(i) 169.68 volt

(ii) 16.90 volt

(iii) 16.90 volt

(iv) 108.07 volt

(v) 2.161 A

Explanation:

Turn ratio is given as 10:1

We have given that input voltage v_p=120volt

(i) We know that peak voltage is give by v_{peak}=\sqrt{2}v_p=\sqrt{2}\times 120=169.68volt

(ii) We know that for transformer \frac{v_p}{v_s}=\frac{n_p}{n_s}

So \frac{169.08}{v_s}=\frac{10}{1}

v_s=16.90volt

So peak voltage in secondary will be 16.90 volt

(iii) Peak voltage of the rectifier will be equal to the peak voltage of the secondary

So peak voltage of the rectifier will be 16.90 volt

(iv) Dc voltage of the rectifier is given by v_{dc}=\frac{2v_m}{\pi }=\frac{2\times 1.414\times 120}{3.14}=108.07volt

(v) Now dc current is given by i_{dc}=\frac{v_{dc}}{R}=\frac{108.07}{50}=2.1614A
