P14.003A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.1 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressur

e of 1.26 MPa. The tank will be constructed from steel that has a yield strength of 270 MPa. If a factor of safety of 2.0 with respect to the yield strength is required, determine the minimum wall thickness tmin required for the spherical tank.

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank is 0.0189 m

Explanation:

Given data:

d = inside diameter = 8.1 m

P = internal pressure = 1.26 MPa

σ = 270 MPa

factor of safety = 2

Question: Determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank, tmin = ?

The allow factor of safety:

\sigma _{a}  =\frac{\sigma }{factor-of-safety} =\frac{270}{2} =135MPa

The minimun wall thickness:

t=\frac{Pd}{4\sigma _{a} } =\frac{1.26*8.1}{4*135} =0.0189m

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

It increases.

Explanation:

If a force acts in the same direction as the object's motion, then the force speeds the object up. Either way, a force will change the velocity of an object. And if the velocity of the object is changed, then the momentum of the object is changed.

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is used to form a real image 1.0 m away from the lens. How far from the lens is the obje
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have

f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)

q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)

Solving the equation for p, we find

\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.20 m}-\frac{1}{1 m}=4 m^{-1}\\p=\frac{1}{4 m^{-1}}=0.25 m
