Answer:

Shearing stresses are the stresses generated in any material when a force acts in such a way that it tends to tear off the material.

Generally the above definition is valid at an armature level, in more technical terms shearing stresses are the component of the stresses that act parallel to any plane in a material that is under stress. Shearing stresses are present in a body even if normal forces act on it along the centroidal axis.

Mathematically in a plane AB the shearing stresses are given by

$\tau =\frac{Fcos(\theta )}{A}$

Yes the shearing force which generates the shearing stresses is similar to frictional force that acts between the 2 surfaces in contact with each other.

With reference to the NSPE Code of Ethics, which one of the following statements is true regarding the ethical obligations of th

34kurt

Answer: c. The VW engineers involved were ethically obligated to hold paramount the health, welfare and safety of the public even if their supervisors directed them to implement software and hardware that enabled cheating on the emissions testing software.

Explanation: The National Society of professional Engineers, NSPE define the code of ethics which must guide engineers in their duty. These codes act as principles of personal conduct, towards the public and their employers.

One of the areas covered by these codes is overriding importance of the safety and health of the public to any other factor. In addition, engineers are to avoid deception and maintain the reputation of their profession. These cannot be sacrificed for the financial gain of their employers or explained away by saying they are following the direction of their employers. While they have certain responsibilities to their employers, the health welfare and safety of the public is more important.

A light bar AD is suspended from a cable BE and supports a 20-kg block at C. The ends A and D of the bar are in contact with fri

babymother [125]

Answer:

Tension in cable BE= 196.2 N

Reactions A and D both are 73.575 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram is as attached sketch. At equilibrium, sum of forces along y axis will be 0 hence

$T_{BE}-W=0$ hence

$T_{BE}=W=20*9.81=196.2 N$

Therefore, tension in the cable, $T_{BE}=196.2 N$

Taking moments about point A, with clockwise moments as positive while anticlockwise moments as negative then

$196.2\times 0.125- 196.2\times 0.2+ D_x\times 0.2=0$

$24.525-39.24+0.2D_x=0$

$D_x=73.575 N$

Similarly,

$A_x-D_y=0$

$A_x=73.575 N$

Therefore, both reactions at A and D are 73.575 N
