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

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

Two golf balls are hit from the same point on a flat field. Both are hit at an angle of 55 degree above the horizontal. Ball 2 h
juin [17]

Answer:

d_2 = 4d_1

Explanation:

The range or horizontal distance covered by a projectile projected with a velocity U at an angel of θ to the horizontal is given by

R = U²sin2θ/g

Let the range or horizontal distance of ball 1 with initial velocity U projected at an angle θ = 55° be

d_1 = U²sin2θ/g

Let the range or horizontal distance of ball 2 with initial velocity V = 2U projected at an angle θ = 55° be

d_2 = V²sin2θ/g

= (2U)²sin2θ/g

= 4U²sin2θ/g

= 4d_1   (since d_1 = U²sin2θ/g)

So, the ball 2 lands a distance d_2 = 4d_1 from the initial point.

Your office has a 0.025 m^3 cylindrical container of drinking water. The radius of the container is about 13 cm. Required:a. Whe
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

<em>a) 105935.7 Pa</em>

<em>b) 103630.35 Pa</em>

Explanation:

The volume of the container = 0.025 m^3

The radius of the container = 13 cm = 0.13 m

We have to find the height of the tank

From the equation for finding the volume of the cylinder,

V = \pi r^2h

where

V is the volume of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

substituting values, we have

0.025 = 3.142 x 0.13^2 x h

0.025 = 0.0531h

h = 0.025/0.0531 = 0.47 m

Pressure at the bottom of the tank P = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth of water which is equal to the height of the tank

substituting values, we have

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.47 = 4610.7 Pa

atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

therefore, the pressure in the tank bottom above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 4610.7 Pa = <em>105935.7 Pa</em>

b) For half way down the container, depth of water will be = 0.47/2 = 0.235 m

pressure P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.235 = 2305.35 Pa

This pressure above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 2305.35 Pa = <em>103630.35 Pa</em>

A mechanic changing the spark plugs in a car notes that the instruction manual calls for a torque with a magnitude of
Papessa [141]

The magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

<h3>Force exerted by the wrench</h3>

The force exerted by the wrench is calculated using torque formula as follows;

torque, τ = F x r x sinθ

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the perpendicular distance if force applied

F =  τ /(r sinθ)

F = (39) / (0.3 sin 60)

F = 150.1 N

Thus, the magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

A milk truck carries milk with density 64.6 lb/ft3 in a horizontal cylindrical tank with diameter 12 ft. (a) Find the force exer
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

F = 351×10³lb

Explanation:

Given the density

ρg = 64.6lb/ft³

Diameter d = 12ft

The tank is horizontally cylindrical. The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the tank is h = 12ft

The pressure in the tank is

P = ρgh = 64.6 × 12 = 775.2lb/ft²

The force exerted on one end of the tank is therefore F = PA = 775.2 × πd² = 775.2π×12²

F = 351×10³lb.
