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.

Explanation:

% Clears variables and screen

% Asks user for input

n = input('Total number of objects: ');

r = input('Size of subgroup: ');

% Computes and displays permutation according to basic formulas

p = 1;

for i = n - r + 1 : n

p = p*i;

end

str1 = [num2str(p) ' permutations'];

disp(str1)

% Computes and displays combinations according to basic formulas

str2 = [num2str(p/factorial(r)) ' combinations'];

disp(str2)

2. A well of 0.1 m radius is installed in the aquifer of the preceding exercise and is pumped at a rate averaging 80 liter/min.

hodyreva [135]

Question:

The question is not complete. See the complete question and the answer below.

A well that pumps at a constant rate of 0.5m3/s fully penetrates a confined aquifer of 34 m thickness. After a long period of pumping, near steady state conditions, the measured drawdowns at two observation wells 50m and 100m from the pumping well are 0.9 and 0.4 m respectively. (a) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity of the aquifer (b) estimate the radius of influence of the pumping well, and (c) calculate the expected drawdown in the pumping well if the radius of the well is 0.4m.

Answer:

T = 0.11029m²/sec

Radius of influence = 93.304m

expected drawdown = 3.9336m
