Answer:

48 hours

Explanation:

Using the formula,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ..................... Equation 1

Where R = Original amount, R' = Radioactive remain, a = Total time, b = half life.

Given: b = 24 hours,

Let: R = X, then R' = X/4.

Substitute into equation 1

X/(X/4) = 2ᵃ/²⁴

4 = 2ᵃ/²⁴

2² = 2ᵃ/²⁴

Equating the base and solving for a

2 = a/24

a = 24×2

a = 48 hours.

Hence the time = 48 hours

musickatia [10]

Answer:

P = 17.28*10⁶ N

Explanation:

Given

L = 250 mm = 0.25 m

a = 0.54 m

b = 0.40 m

E = 95 GPa = 95*10⁹ Pa

σmax = 80 MPa = 80*10⁶ Pa

ΔL = 0.12%*L = 0.0012*0.25 m = 3*10⁻⁴ m

We get A as follows:

A = a*b = (0.54 m)*(0.40 m) = 0.216 m²

then, we apply the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)  ⇒ P = ΔL*A*E/L

⇒  P = (3*10⁻⁴ m)*(0.216 m²)*(95*10⁹ Pa)/(0.25 m)

⇒  P = 24624000  N = 24.624*10⁶ N

Now we can use the equation

σ = P/A

⇒  σ = (24624000  N)/(0.216 m²) = 114000000 Pa = 114 MPa > 80 MPa

So σ > σmax  we use σmax

⇒  P = σmax*A = (80*10⁶ Pa)*(0.216 m²) = 17280000 N = 17.28*10⁶ N
