A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 9 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.50

MPa. The tank will be constructed from steel that has a yield strength of 340 MPa. If a factor of safety of 3.0 with respect to the yield strength is required, determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank.

Answer: 33 mm

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the tank, d = 9 m, so that, radius = d/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 m

Internal pressure of gas, P(i) = 1.5 MPa

Yield strength of steel, P(y) = 340 MPa

Factor of safety = 0.3

Allowable stress = 340 * 0.3 = 102 MPa

σ = pr / 2t, where

σ = allowable stress

p = internal pressure

r = radius of the tank

t = minimum wall thickness

t = pr / 2σ

t = 1.5*10^6 * 4.5 / 2 * 102*10^6

t = 0.033 m

t = 33 mm

The minimum thickness of the wall required is therefore, 33 mm

Queremos un cilindro de simple efecto que utilice en su funcionamiento un volumen de aire a presión atmosférica de 13,122 litros
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

When its 75 kW (100 hp) engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with mass 700 kg gains altitude at a rat
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

0.2289

Explanation:

Power required to climb= Fv where F is force and v is soeed. We know that F= mg hence Power, P= mgv and substituting 700 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 2.5 m/s for v then

P= 700*9.81*2.5=17167.5 W= 17.1675 kW

To express it as a fraction of 75 kw then 17.1675/75=0.2289 or 22.89%

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol
damaskus [11]
Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.
