Calculate the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of this bookshelf. Assume that the weight of each book is approximately 1 lb. The w
idth of shelf is 10inches and its length is 40 inches. (Hint: Model the shelf as a beam with distributed load).
1 answer:
Answer:
R = 4.75 lb (↑)
Explanation:
Number of books = n = 19
Weight of each book = W = 1 lb
Length of the bookshelf = L = 40 inches
We can get the value of the distributed load as follows
q = n*W/L = 19*1 lb/ 40 inches = 0.475 lb/in
then the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of the bookshelf are
R = (q/2)/2 = 4.75 lb
We can see the bookshelf in the pic.

In order to understand a monomer let´s first see the structure of a polymer. As an example, in the first figure polyethylene (or polyethene) is shown. This polymer, like every other one, is composed of many repeated subunits, these subunits are called monomer. In the second figure, polyethylene's monomer is shown.
Answer:
The velocity at section is approximately 42.2 m/s
Explanation:
For the water flowing through the pipe, we have;
The pressure at section (1), P₁ = 300 kPa
The pressure at section (2), P₂ = 100 kPa
The diameter at section (1), D₁ = 0.1 m
The height of section (1) above section (2), D₂ = 50 m
The velocity at section (1), v₁ = 20 m/s
Let 'v₂' represent the velocity at section (2)
According to Bernoulli's equation, we have;
Where;
ρ = The density of water = 997 kg/m³
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
z₁ = 50 m
z₂ = The reference = 0 m
By plugging in the values, we have;
50 m + 30.704358 m + 20.4081633 m = 10.234786 m +
50 m + 30.704358 m + 20.4081633 m - 10.234786 m =
90.8777353 m =
v₂² = 2 × 9.8 m/s² × 90.8777353 m
v₂² = 1,781.20361 m²/s²
v₂ = √(1,781.20361 m²/s²) ≈ 42.204308 m/s
The velocity at section (2), v₂ ≈ 42.2 m/s
