Answer:

Denial is a defense mechanism which allows an individual not to accept the truth about a painful experience or distress.

Explanation:

Denial is a way of coping with distress. Denial means trying to reject the truth about a situation. It could be denying the truth about your personal situation or about someone else like your friends, parents or siblings.

Denial is a defense mechanism used to protect oneself against accepting a painful experience or situation in life.

Denial could be helpful or harmful.

It can be helpful when one begin to take action about a problem by seeking for help.

It could be harmful if you don't seek for help when in distress.

A person engaged in denial is trying to stay sane and act normal like everything is alright with he/she. The person tries to block negative thought and focus on more positive thoughts.

Example of denial

1) A young lady who just experienced a breakup from her boyfriend who she truly loves but act like the breakup doesn't affect her or that she doesn't love the guy.

2) A 21 year old person who has cancer and has about 10 months to live have plans of celebrating his/her 25th birthday in a big way

3) When someone is harboring the thought that coronavirus is not real or it is not a serious disease.

g A steel water pipe has an inner diameter of 12 in. and a wall thickness of 0.25 in. Determine the longitudinal and hoop stress
zvonat [6]

Answer:

a) \mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}

     \mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 0}

b)\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}

  \mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter d = 12 in

thickness t = 0.25 in

the radius = d/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 in

r/t = 6/0.25 = 24

24 > 10

Using the  thin wall cylinder formula;

The valve A is opened and the flowing water has a pressure P of 200 psi.

So;

\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = 0

\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{200(12)}{2(0.25)}

\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}

b)The valve A is closed and the water pressure P is 250 psi.

where P = 250 psi

\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t}

\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{250*(12)}{2(0.25)}

\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}

\sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t} \\ \\  \sigma _2 = \frac{250(12)}{4(0.25)}

\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG  > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

Answer the following either true (T) or false (F) (5 pts)
likoan [24]

Answer:

1. True

2. True

3. False

Explanation:

The office location is where the soil layer is not uniform. The thickness of the soil varies which could lead to doors being jammed. The engineer needs to estimate the differential in clay soil.

The inclined surface can hold less weight than a vertical surface. The capacity to hold the weight is due to the gravitational force which is exerted to the load.

Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540°R, 15 lbf/in.2, with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: Hello the question is incomplete below is the missing part

Question:  determine the temperature, in °R, at the exit

answer:

T2= 569.62°R

Explanation:

T1 = 540°R

V2 = 600 ft/s

V1 = 60 ft/s

h1 = 129.0613  ( value gotten from Ideal gas property-air table )

<em>first step : calculate the value of h2 using the equation below </em>

assuming no work is done ( potential energy is ignored )

h2 = [ h1 + ( V2^2 - V1^2 ) / 2 ] * 1 / 32.2 * 1 / 778

∴ h2 = 136.17 Btu/Ibm

From Table A-17

we will apply interpolation

attached below is the remaining part of the solution
