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.

(TCO 1) Name one disadvantage of fixed-configuration switches over modular switches. a. Ease of management b. Port security b. F

frutty [35]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Two main types of network switches, modular and fixed configuration switches, are used for connecting the devices with one another provided they are on the same network.

As the name suggests, modular switches can be configured according to your needs and specific situations where you need a different setup.

The one advantage fixed-configuration switches have over the modular switches is that they are easier to operate. You can't change anything for a different application but they are simpler to setup and use, you can just plug them in and start using. They are usually for the more casual end-user and home networks etc.

I hope this answer helps.

A piston-cylinder device contains an ideal gas mixture of 3 kmol of He gas and 7 kmol of Ar gas (both gases are monatomic) at 27

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Q = 62 ( since we are instructed not to include the units in the answer)

Explanation:

Given that:

$n_{HCl} = 3 \ kmol\\n_{Ar} = 7 \ k mol$

$T_1 = 27^0 \ C = ( 27+273)K = 300 K$

$P_1 = 200 \ kPa$

Q = ???

Now the gas expands at constant pressure until its volume doubles

i.e if $V_1 = x\\V_2 = 2V_1$

Using Charles Law; since pressure is constant

$V \alpha T$

$\frac{V_2}{V_1} =\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

$\frac{2V_1}{V_1} =\frac{T_2}{300}$

$T_2 = 300*2\\T_2 = 600$

mass of He =number of moles of He × molecular weight of He

mass of He = 3 kg × 4

mass of He = 12 kg

mass of Ar =number of moles of Ar × molecular weight of Ar

mass of He = 7 kg × 40

mass of He = 280 kg

Now; the amount of Heat Q transferred = $m_{He}Cp_{He} \delta T + m_{Ar}Cp_{Ar} \delta T$

From gas table

$Cp_{He} = 5.9 \ kJ/Kg/K\\Cp_{Ar} = 0.5203 \ kJ/Kg/K$

∴ Q = $12*5.19*10^3(600-300)+280*0.5203*10^3(600-300)$

Q = $62.389 *10^6$

Q = 62 MJ

Q = 62 ( since we are instructed not to include the units in the answer)

The lift on a spinning circular cylinder in a freestream with a velocity of 30 m/s and at standard sea level conditions is 6 N/m

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The circulation around the cylinder is 0.163 $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of spinning cylinder $v = 30$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Sea level density $\rho = 1.23$ $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

Sea level span $L = 6$ $\frac{N}{m}$

Lift per unit circulation is given by,

$L = \rho v c$

Where $c =$ circulation around cylinder

$c = \frac{L}{\rho v}$

$c = \frac{6}{1.23 \times 30}$

$c = 0.163$ $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Therefore, the circulation around the cylinder is 0.163 $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Why is it reasonable to say that no system is 100% efficient?

Virty [35]

Generally, frictional losses are more predominant for the machines being not 100% efficient. This friction leads to the loss of energy in the form of heat, into the surroundings. Some of the supplied energy may be utilised to change the entropy (measure of randomness of the particles) of the system.
