During his military campaign in what is now Germany, Julius Caesar lead his army of 40,000 soldiers to the western bank of the R

hine River in 55 BCE. On the opposite side of the river, hostile native warriors witnessed their arrival. Caesar determined that the river was both too wide (up to 400 meters at some locations) and too deep (about 30 meters) to cross by foot. But Caesar still wanted to find a way to cross. Which step in the engineering design process is described above?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular  momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

H_o =r x mv=rxL

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change  of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular  momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af

0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega

And if we solve for \omega we got:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

An engineering firm just lost one of their larger customers. The firm president says that the solution to this problem is to fir
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The engineers disagreed because their jobs were on the line

The ethical factors are:

The reason for the customer dumping the business is yet to be figured out

The need to keep cost to the lowest ebb in order to keep maintain profitability at the expense of employees' welfare

The are several ways of growing customer base which  are yet to be exploited.

Explanation:

The engineers disagree because there is no direct connection between the company's loss of the customer and their proposed layoff of the engineers,at least no one strong evidence has been given by the president.

The ethical factors inherent in this case are as follows:

The reason for the customer dumping the business is yet to be figure out

The need to keep cost to the lowest ebb in order to keep maintain profitability.

The are several ways of growing customer base which  are yet to be exploited.

There is  a need for a fact-finding exercise to establish the main motive behind losing such customer,without which the company can run into more troubles in future,otherwise the company would keep firing its good hands each time a customer dumps it.

Also,the president had resulted into such decision in order to maintain company's margins,where then lies ethics of welfare economics?Welfare economics is about looking beyond margins and looking at issues from a wider perspective of fulfilling the needs of employees in order for them to put in their best performance,at least by granting them job safety.

The company could have also grown business by investing in new technology that sets it apart from competitors instead of just jumping into the conclusions of sacking employees in a business where the company's strength lies in quality of engineers that it has.

A polyethylene rod exactly 10 inches long with a cross-sectional area of 0.04 in2 is used to suspend a weight of 358 lbs-f (poun
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Final length of the rod = 13.90 in

Explanation:

Cross Sectional Area of the polythene rod, A = 0.04 in²

Original length of the polythene rod, l = 10 inches

Tensile modulus for the polymer, E = 25,000 psi

Viscosity, \eta = 1*10^{9} psi -sec

Weight = 358 lbs - f

time, t = 1 hr = 3600 sec

Stress is given by:

\sigma = \frac{Force}{Area} \\\sigma = \frac{358}{0.04} \\\sigma = 8950 psi

Based on Maxwell's equation, the strain is given by:

strain = \sigma ( \frac{1}{E} + \frac{t}{\eta} )\\Strain = 8950 ( \frac{1}{25000} + \frac{3600}{10^{9} } )\\Strain = 0.39022

Strain = Extension/(original Length)

0.39022 = Extension/10

Extension = 0.39022 * 10

Extension = 3.9022 in

Extension = Final length - Original length

3.9022 =  Final length - 10

Final length = 10 + 3.9022

Final length = 13.9022 in

Final length = 13.90 in
