Answer:

The temperature attains equilibrium with the surroundings.

Explanation:

When the light bulb is lighted we know that it's temperature will go on increasing as the filament of the bulb has to constantly dissipates energy during the time in which it is on. Now this energy is dissipated as heat as we know it, this heat energy is absorbed by the material of the bulb which is usually made up of glass, increasing it's temperature. Now we know that any object with temperature above absolute zero has to dissipate energy in form of radiations.

Thus we conclude that the bulb absorbs as well as dissipates it's absorbed thermal energy. we know that this rate is dependent on the temperature of the bulb thus it the temperature of the bulb does not change we can infer that an equilibrium has been reached in the above 2 processes i.e the rate of energy absorption equals the rate of energy dissipation.

Steady state is the condition when the condition does not change with time no matter whatever the surrounding conditions are.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The field strength needed is 0.625 T

Explanation:

Given;

angular frequency, ω = 400 rpm = (2π /60) x (400) = 41.893 rad/s

area of the rectangular coil, A = L x B = 0.0611 x 0.05 = 0.003055 m²

number of tuns of the coil, N = 300 turns

peak emf = 24 V

The peak emf is given by;

emf₀ = NABω

B = (emf₀ ) / (NA ω)

B = (24) / (300 x 0.003055 x 41.893)

B = 0.625 T

Therefore, the field strength needed is 0.625 T

For a bolted assembly with eight bolts, the stiffness of each bolt is kb = 1.0 MN/mm and the stiffness of the members is km = 2.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) 0.978

b) 0.9191

c) 1.056

d) 0.849

Explanation:

Given data :

Stiffness of each bolt = 1.0 MN/mm

Stiffness of the members = 2.6 MN/mm per bolt

Bolts are preloaded to 75% of proof strength

The bolts are M6 × 1 class 5.8 with rolled threads

Pmax =60 kN, Pmin = 20kN

a) Determine the yielding factor of safety

$n_{p} = \frac{S_{p}A_{t} }{CP_{max}+ F_{i} }$ ------ ( 1 )

Sp = 380 MPa, At = 20.1 mm^2, C = 0.277, Pmax = 7500 N, Fi = 5728.5 N

Input the given values into the equation above

equation 1 becomes ( np ) = $\frac{380*20.1}{0.277*7500*5728.5}$ = 0.978

note : values above are derived values whose solution are not basically part of the required solution hence they are not included

b) Determine the overload factor of safety

$n_{L} = \frac{S_{p}A_{t}-F_{i} }{C(P_{max} )}$ ------- ( 2 )

Sp = 380 MPa, At = 20.1 mm^2, C = 0.277, Pmax = 7500 N, Fi = 5728.5 N

input values into equation 2 above

hence : $n_{L}$ = 0.9191 $n_{L} = 0.9191$

C) Determine the factor of safety based on joint separation

$n_{0} = \frac{F_{i} }{P_{max}(1 - C ) }$

Fi = 5728.5 N, Pmax = 7500 N, C = 0.277,

input values into equation above

Hence $n_{0}$ = 1.056

D) Determine the fatigue factor of safety using the Goodman criterion.

nf = 0.849

The fan blades suddenly experience an angular acceleration of 2 rad/s2. If the blades are rotating with an initial angular veloc

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Option B

$116 ft/s^{2}$

Explanation:

$\theta=2 rev=2(2\pi)=4\pi$

$\alpha \theta=0.5(\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})$

$\alpha (4\pi)= 0.5(\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})$

$\alpha (8\pi)= (\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})$

$(2) (8\pi)= (\omega_f^{2}-\omega_i^{2})$

$(2) (8\pi)= (\omega_f^{2}-4^{2})$

$\omega_f=8.14 rads/s$

$v=r\omega=1.75*8.14=14.245 ft/s$

Centripetal acceleration $=\omega_f^{2} r=8.14^{2}*1.75=115.95 ft/s^{2}$

Tangential component=dr=2*1.75=3.5

$Resultant=\sqrt{3.5^{2}+115.95^{2}}\approx 116 ft/s^{2}$
