Answer:

(A) Because the angle of twist of a material is often used to predict its shear toughness

Explanation:

In engineering, torsion is the solicitation that occurs when a moment is applied on the longitudinal axis of a construction element or mechanical prism, such as axes or, in general, elements where one dimension predominates over the other two, although it is possible to find it in diverse situations.

The torsion is characterized geometrically because any curve parallel to the axis of the piece is no longer contained in the plane initially formed by the two curves. Instead, a curve parallel to the axis is twisted around it.

The general study of torsion is complicated because under that type of solicitation the cross section of a piece in general is characterized by two phenomena:

1- Tangential tensions appear parallel to the cross section.

2- When the previous tensions are not properly distributed, which always happens unless the section has circular symmetry, sectional warps appear that make the deformed cross sections not flat.

Archy [21]

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically $\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}$

The momentum of any body is defines as $\overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}$

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}$

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds$

The composition of gas in the feed, the percentage conversion and the

theoretical yield are combined to give the product stream composition.

Response:

The composition of gas in the product stream are;

HCl: 0.4 kmol/h, Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h, H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h, O₂: 0.5 kmol/h

<h3>How can percentage conversion give the contents of the product stream?</h3>

The amount of oxygen used = 30% exceeding the theoretical amount

Number of moles of hydrochloric acid = 4 kmol/h

Percentage conversion = 80%

Required:

The composition of the gas in the product feed.

Solution;

The given reaction is; 4HCl + O₂ $\longrightarrow$ 2Cl₂ + 2H₂O

$Percentage \ conversion = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ reacted}{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ supplied \ in \ the \, feed}}$

Which gives;

$80 \% = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Moles \ of \ limiting \ reactant \ reacted}{4 \, kmol/h}}$

Moles of limiting reactant reacted = 4 kmol/h × 0.80 = 3.6 kmol/h

Which gives;

Number of moles of HCl in the stream = 4 kmol/h - 3.6 kmol/h = 0.4 kmol/h

Number of moles of Cl₂ produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h

Similarly;

Number of moles of H₂O produced = 2 kmol/h × 0.8 = 1.6 kmol/h

Number of moles of O₂ in the product stream = 30% × 1 kmol/h + 20% × 1 kmol/h = 0.5 kmol/h

The composition of the production stream is therefore;

<u>HCl: 0.4 kmol/h</u>

<u>Cl₂: 1.6 kmol/h</u>

<u>H₂O: 1.6 kmol/h</u>

<u>O₂: 0.5 kmol/h</u>

The time to half-maximum voltage is how long it takes the capacitor to charge halfway. Based on your experimental results, how l

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Time taken for the capacitor to charge to 0.75 of its maximum capacity = 2 × (Time take for the capacitor to charge to half of its capacity)

Explanation:

The charging of a capacitor/the build up of its voltage follows an exponential progression and is given by

V(t) = V₀ [1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ]

where k = (1/time constant)

when V(t) = V₀/2

(1/2) = 1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ

e⁻ᵏᵗ = 0.5

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.5 = - 0.693

-kt = - 0.693

kt = 0.693

t = (0.693/k)

Recall that k = (1/time constant)

Time to charge to half of max voltage = T(1/2)

T(1/2) = 0.693 (Time constant)

when V(t) = 0.75

0.75 = 1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ

e⁻ᵏᵗ = 0.25

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.25 = -1.386

-kt = - 1.386

kt = 1.386

t = 1.386(time constant) = 2 × 0.693(time constant)

Recall, T(1/2) = 0.693 (Time constant)

t = 2 × T(1/2)

Hope this Helps!!!

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$916

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the formula

FV = P/i * [(1+i)^n - 1], where

FV = future value of the all the money invested, $5 million

n = time span, = 500 months

P = payment per month

I = interest rate, 9% by 12 months, = 0.0075

Considering that we have been given all in our question, then we substitute directly and solve. So we have,

5000000 = P/0.0075 * [(1+0.0075)^500 -1]

5000000 * 0.0075 = P * [1.0075^500 - 1]

37500 = P * [41.93 - 1]

37500 = P * 40.93

P = 37500/40.93

P = $916.20

Therefore, the engineer needs to save $916 in a month which is the accrued
