poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other

Amazon rectangular bar of low carbon steel A-36 is exposed to an axial strees of 150 MPa. What is the original length of the bar
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

1.8m

Explanation:

Let the Elastics of the steel ASTM-36 E = 200000 MPa

The strain of the bar when subjected to 150 MPa is

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{150}{200000} = 0.00075

Therefore, if the bar elongates by 1.35 mm, then the original length L would be:

\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L}

L = \frac{\Delta L}{\epsilon} = \frac{1.35}{0.00075} = 1800 mm or 1.8m
