A torsion-bar spring consists of a prismatic bar, usually of round cross section, that is twisted at one end and held fast at th

e other to form a stiff spring. An engineer needs a stiffer one than usual and so considers building in both ends and applying the torque somewhere in the central portion of the span, as shown in the figure. This effectively creates two springs in parallel.
The engineer is forced by geometric considerations to apply the torque on the spring at the location x = 0.37l. For a uniform-diameter spring, this would cause one leg of the span to be underutilized when both legs have the same diameter. For optimal design the diameter of each leg should be designed such that the maximum shear stress in each leg is the same Using x = 0.37l, l=10 in, T=1,500 lbf.in, and G = 10.4 Mpsi, design the spring such that the maximum shear stresses in each leg are equal and the spring will have the same spring rate (angle of twist) as a uniform-diameter bar with T=1,500 lbf in, x=1/2-5 in, and d1=d2=0.5
Find the required diameters of each leg:

Answer:

d₁ = 0.29 in

d₂ = 0.505 in

Explanation:

Given:

T = 1500 lbf in

L = 10 in

x = 0.5 L = 5 in

T_{1} =\frac{T(L-x)}{L} =\frac{1500*(10-5)}{10} =750lbfin

First case: T = T₁ + T₂

T₂ = T - T₁ = 1500 - 750 = 750 lbf in

If the shafts are in series:

θ = θ₁ + θ₂

θ = ((T₁ * L₁)/GJ) + ((T₂ * L₂)/GJ)

Second case: If d₁ ≠ d₂

θ = ((T₁ * L₁)/GJ₁) + ((T₂ * L₂)/GJ₂) = 0 (eq. 1)

t₁ = t₂

\frac{16T_{1} }{\pi d_{1}^{3}  } =\frac{16T_{2} }{\pi d_{2}^{3}  } (eq. 2)

T₁ + T₂ = 1500 (eq. 3)

θ₁ first case = θ₁ second case

Replacing:

\frac{750*5}{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*0.5^{4}  } =\frac{T_{1}*3.7 }{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*d_{1} ^{4}  }\\T_{1} =16216d_{1} ^{4}

The same way to θ₂:

\frac{750*5}{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*0.5^{4}  } =\frac{T_{2}*6.3 }{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*d_{2} ^{4}  } \\T_{2} =9523.8d_{2} ^{4}

From equation 2, we have:

d₁ = 0.587 * d₂

From equation 3, we have:

d₂ = 0.505 in

d₁ = 0.29 in

When its 75 kW (100 hp) engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with mass 700 kg gains altitude at a rat
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

0.2289

Explanation:

Power required to climb= Fv where F is force and v is soeed. We know that F= mg hence Power, P= mgv and substituting 700 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 2.5 m/s for v then

P= 700*9.81*2.5=17167.5 W= 17.1675 kW

To express it as a fraction of 75 kw then 17.1675/75=0.2289 or 22.89%

What is the difference between speed and velocity?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

speed is the rate of change in distance thus it is scalar physical quantity

while velocity is the rate of change in displacement thus it is a vector physical quantity

Explanation:

vector physical quantity: is a quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to identify

scalar quantity: requires only magnitude to identify.

An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get
Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O

where,

m=Total mass

m_O = Mass of Object

V_i = Velocity before throwing

V_f = Final Velocity

V_O = Velocity of Object

Our values are:

m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) 5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s

V_{f1}=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f1}=\frac{(98.7)*0+5.3*15}{98.7-5.3}

V_{f1}=0.8511m/s

B) 7.9Kg\rightarrow 11.2m/s

V_{f2}=\frac{mV_{f1}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f2}=\frac{(98.7)(0.8511)+(7.9)(11.2)}{98.7-5.3-7.9}

V_{f2} = 2.0173m/s

C) 10.5Kg\rightarrow 7m/s

V_{f3}=\frac{mV_{f2}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f3}=\frac{(98.7)(2.0173)+(10.5)(7)}{98.7-5.3-7.9-10.5}

V_{f3} = 3.63478m/s

Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s

How did harlow shapley conclude that the sun was not in the center of the milky way galaxy?
timurjin [86]

We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, used Cepheid variable stars to estimate the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and its position relative to the Sun. In 1953, he published his "liquid water belt" theory, today known as the concept of a livable zone.

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.
