A fiberglass composite is composed of a matrix of vinyl ester and reinforcing fibers of E-glass. The volume fraction of E-glass

is 31%. The remainder is vinyl ester. The density of the vinyl ester is 0.79 g/cm3, and its modulus of elasticity is 4.04 GPa. The density of E-glass is 3.011 g/cm3, and its modulus of elasticity is 80 GPa. A section of composite 1.00 cm by 25.00 cm by 200.00 cm is fabricated with the E-glass fibers running longitudinal along the 200 cm direction. Assume there are no voids in the composite. Determine the modulus of elasticity of the composite in GPa.

Full Question

Calculate the modulus of elasticity of the composite

I. In the longitudinal direction of the glass fibre

2. In the perpendicular direction of glass fibre

Answer:

1. 27.5876 GPa

2. 5.725 GPa

Explanation:

Given

Dimensions of the fibreglass is given by: 1.00 cm x 25.00 cm x 200.00 cm

Volume = 1 * 25 * 200 = 5000cm³

P1 = The volume fraction of the E-glass is 31%

P2 = The remainder 69% is Vinyl Ester

Volume of Vinyl Ester= 69% * 5000cm³ = 3450cm³

I. In the longitudinal direction of the glass fibre

Where

Modulus of elasticity of glass, E1 = 80 Gpa

Modulus of elasticity of vinyl ester, E2 = 4.04 Gpa

Modulus of elasticity = E1P1 + E2P2

Modulus of elasticity of vinyl esters = 31% * 80 + 69% * 4.04

Modulus = 24.8 + 2.7876

Modulus = 27.5876 GPa

ii. In the perpendicular direction of glass fibre

This is solved by

E1.E2/(P1.E2 + P2.E1)

= (80 * 4.04)/(31% * 4.04 + 69% * 80)

= 323.2/(1.2524 + 55.2)

= 5.725177317527687

= 5.725 GPa

An aircraft is flying at 300 mph true airspeed has a 50 mph tailwind. What is its ground speed?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

304.13 mph

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

The Speed of the flying aircraft = 300 mph

Tailwind of the true airspeed = 50 mph

Now,

The ground speed will be calculated as:

ground speed = $\sqrt{300^2+50^2}$

or

The ground speed = $\sqrt{92500}$

or

The ground speed = 304.13 mph

Hence, the ground speed is 304.13 mph

A sample of wastewater is diluted 10 times. The diluted solution has an ultimate biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Lo, of 30 mg/L

zzz [600]

Answer:

474.59 mg/L

Explanation:

Given that

BOD = 30 mg/L

Original BOD = 30 mg/L × dilution factor

Original BOD = 30 mg/L × 10 = 300 mg/L

$L_o = \frac{BOD}{1-e^{-5t}}$

here $L_o$ is the ultimate BOD ; BOD is the biochemical oxygen demand ; t = 0.20 /day

$L_o = \frac{300}{1-e^{-5(0.20)}}$

$L_o = 474.59 \ mg/L$

Will give brainly

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Here you go!!

Explanation:

If I were to write a book I would write my steps down as in figuring out what I what to talk about. Have an Introduction- Using an introduction is needed because you need to Describe your main idea, or what the essay is about, in one sentence. ... Develop a thesis statement, or what you want to say about the main idea. ... List three points or arguments that support your thesis in order of importance (one sentence for each). I would also use a Rising action- This is needed because, To construct the plot, nearly any story can be said to use increasing action. It serves the following purposes: It generates suspense and enhances the sense of urgency around the story's central conflict or problem. Then I would do a Climax- The object of a climax is not to provide the most possible conflict or action. It's also not just about producing the character's greatest reversal of fortunes. Too often we mistake the fortunes of our character with the story's arc, and although fortune is involved, it's not our story arc's key criterion. After that, I would just add finish touches and finish it off before it needs to be shipped off to make copies.

In the first-order process,a blue dye reacts to form a purple dye. The amount of blue dye at the end of 1 hr is 480 g and the en

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The answer is 960 kg

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Assume the initial dye concentration as A₀

We write the expression for the dye concentration for one hour as follows:

ln (C₁) = ln (A₀) -kt

Here

C₁ = is the concentration at 1 hour

t =time

Now

Substitute 480 g for C₁ and 1 hour for t

ln (480) = ln (A₀) -k(1) ------- (1)

6.173786 = ln (A₀) -k

Now

We write the expression for the dye concentration for three hours as follows:

ln (C₃) = ln (A₀) -k

Here

C₃ = is the concentration at 3 hour

t =time

Thus

Substitute 480 g for C₃ and 3 hour for t

ln (120) = ln (A₀) -k(3) ------- (2)

4.787492 = ln (A₀) -3k

Solve for the equation 1 and 2

k =0.693

Now

Calculate the amount of blue present initially using the expression:

Substitute 0.693 for k in equation (2)

4.787492 = ln (A₀) -3 (0.693)

ln (A₀) =6.866492

A₀ =e^6.866492

= 960 kg

Therefore, the amount of the blue dye present from the beginning is 960 kg
