Answer:

a) Fb= 275.77 lb   Fc= 142.75 lb

b) M = -779.97 lb.ft (i.e. 779.97 lb.ft in clockwise direction)

c) Fax = 195 lb

   Fay = 337.75 lb

   Fbx = 195 lb

   Fby = 195 lb

Explanation:

Question: Three tugboats are used to turn a barge in a narrow channel. To avoid producing any net translation of the barge, the forces applied should be couples. The tugboat at point A applies a 390 lb force.

(a) Determine FB and FC so that only couples are applied.

(b) Using your answers to Part (a), determine the resultant couple moment that is produced.

(c) Resolve the forces at A and B into x and y components, and identify the pairs of forces that constitute couples.

Solution:

<u>For this problem Right hand side is positive X direction and Upwards is positive Y direction. Couples and moments will be considered positive in counterclockwise direction.</u>

<u />

a) For no translation condition

∑ F_{x} = 0      &     ∑F_{y} = 0

Hence,

F_{A}cos(30) - F_{B}cos(45) - F_{C} = 0

F_{A}sin(30) - F_{B} sin(45) = 0

and

F_{A} = 390 lb

Inserting the value of F_{A} and solving the remaining equations simultaneously yields (magnitudes),

F_{B} = 275.77 lb\\F_{C} = 142.75 lb

b) Summing up moments

M=45 ( -F_{Ay}-F_{Cy}) +5 (-F_{By})+22(-F_{Ax}-F_{Bx})\\ =45(-390cos(30)-142.75)+5(-275.77cos(45))+22 (-390sin(30)-275.77sin(45))

M = -779.97 lb.ft (i.e. 779.97 lb.ft clockwise)

c)

F_{Ax} = 390 sin(30)  = 195 lb

F_{Ay} = 390 cos(30) = 337.75lb\\

F_{Bx} = 275.77 sin(45) = 195lb\\F_{By} = 275.77 cos(45) = 195 lb

Precast concrete curtain wall panels: Group of answer choices are typically manufactured on site and then hoisted into place. of
amid [387]

Answer:

c) can be made with a variety of surface finishes.

Explanation:

The missing options are;

When it comes to concrete work in construction, the concrete can be cast either in-situ or in form of pre-cast concrete.

Now in-situ concrete means concrete done on the construction site being built while pre cast concrete simply means concrete cast outside in a factory or yard and brought to site to mount.

These pre cast concrete could have different surface finishes as required as this is one of it's advantages over in situ because there is a lot of space and room to have the desired concrete finish.

a) are typically manufactured on site and then hoisted into place.

b) cannot be fiber-reinforced.

c) can be made with a variety of surface finishes.

d) never include insulation.

e) often are unreinforced.

Calculate the load, PP, that would cause AA to be displaced 0.01 inches to the right. The wires ABAB and ACAC are A36 steel and
Nataly [62]

Answer:

P = 4.745 kips

Explanation:

Given

ΔL = 0.01 in

E = 29000 KSI

D = 1/2 in  

LAB = LAC = L = 12 in

We get the area as follows

A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²

Then we use the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)

For AB:

ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB

For AC:

ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC

Now, we use the condition

ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in

⇒  ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in

Knowing that   PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P

we have

(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in

⇒  P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

The pic shown can help to understand the question.

Differences between acidic and basic Bessemer process​
dybincka [34]

Answer:

In the acid processes, deoxidation can take place in the furnaces, leaving a reasonable time for the inclusions to rise into the sla*g and so be removed before casting. Whereas in the basic furnaces, deoxidation is rarely carried out in the presence of the sla*g, otherwise phosphorus would return to the metal.
