Answer:

True

Explanation:

For point in xz plane the stress tensor is given by $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Dx_{} &txz\\tzx&Dz\\\end{array}\right]$

where Dx is the direct stress along x ; Dz is direct stress along z ; tzx and txz are the shear stress components

We know that the stress tensor matrix is symmetrical which means that tzx = txz ( obtained by moment equlibrium )

thus we require only 1 independent component of shear stress to define the whole stress tensor at a point in 2D plane

Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. On the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per

kirill [66]

Solution :

Given :

$V_1 = 7 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_1$ = 3000 hours per year

$V_2 = 10 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_2$ = 2000 hours per year

The density, ρ = $1.25 \ kg/m^3$

The wind blows steadily. So, the K.E. = $(0.5 \dot{m} V^2)$

$= \dot{m} \times 0.5 V^2$

The power generation is the time rate of the kinetic energy which can be calculated as follows:

Power = $\Delta \ \dot{K.E.} = \dot{m} \frac{V^2}{2}$

Regarding that $\dot m \propto V$ . Then,

Power $\propto V^3$ → Power = constant x $V^3$

Since, $\rho_a$ is constant for both the sites and the area is the same as same winf turbine is used.

For the first site,

Power, $P_1= \text{const.} \times V_1^3$

$P_1 = \text{const.} \times 343 \ W$

For the second site,

Power, $P_2 = \text{const.} \times V_2^3 \ W$

$P_2 = \text{const.} \times 1000 \ W$

Which of the following has special properties that allow forces and pressure to be distributed evenly?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Fluids

Explanation:

Fluids has special properties that allow forces and pressure to be distributed evenly within them.

Fluids are gases and liquids whose intermolecular forces of attraction are generally weak or non-existence.
Therefore, when pressure is applied to them, it permeates evenly on all parts.
Their ability to tend to randomness makes liquids and gases very viable for distributing pressure.
