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.

Atmospheric pressure is measured to be 14.769 psia. a. What would be the equivalent reading of a water barometer (inches of H20)

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) water height =408.66 in.

(b) mercury height=30.04 in.

Explanation:

Given: P=14.769 psi ( 1 psi= 6894.76 $\frac{N}{m^2}$ )

we know that $P=\rho\times g\timesh$

where $\rho =Density,g=9.81\frac{m}{s^2}$

h=height.

Given that P=14.769 psi ⇒P= 101828.6 7 $\dfrac{N}{m^2}$

(a) $P=\rho_{w}\times g\times h_{w}$

$\rho_{w}=1000\frac{Kg}{m^3}$

⇒101828.67= $1000\times 9.81\times h_{w}$

$h_{w}$ =10.38 m

So water barometer will read 408.66 in. (1 m=39.37 in)

(b) $P=\rho_{hg}\times g\times h_{hg}$

$\rho_{hg}$ =13600

So 101828.67= $13600\times 9.81\times h_{hg}$

$h_{hg}$ =0.763 m

So mercury barometer will read 30.04 in.

We would like to measure the density (p) of an ideal gas. We know the ideal gas law provides p= , where P represents pressure, R

Nostrana [21]

Answer: =

Explanation:

= P / (R * T) P- Pressure, R=287.058, T- temperature

From the given that

Sample mean(pressure) = 120300 Pa

Standard deviation (pressure) = 6600 Pa

Sample mean(temperature) = 340K

Standard deviation(temperature) = 8K

To calculate the Density;

Maximum pressure = Sample mean(pressure) + standard deviation (pressure) = 120300+6600 = 126900 Pa

Minimum pressure = Sample mean (pressure) - standard deviation (pressure)= 120300-6600 = 113700 Pa

Maximum temperature = Sample mean (temperature) + standard deviation (temperature) = 340+8 = 348K

Minimum temperature = Sample mean (temperature) - standerd deviation (temperature) = 340-8 = 332K

So now to calculate the density:

Maximum Density= Pressure (max)/(R*Temperature (min))= 126900/(287.058*332)= 1.331

Minimum density=Pressure(min)/(R*Temperature (max))= 113700/(287.058*348)= 1.138

Average density= (density (max)+ density (min))/2= (1.331+1.138)/2= 1.2345

cheers i hope this helps
