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

C. Temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure

Explanation:

The Bowen's reaction series illustrates the relationship between temperature, chemical composition and mineral structure.

The series is made up of a continuous and discontinuous end through which magmatic composition can be understood as temperature changes.

  • The left part is the discontinuous end while the right side is the continuous series.
  • From the series, we understand that a magmatic body becomes felsic as it begins to cool to lower temperature.
  • A magma at high temperature is ultramafic and very rich in ferro-magnesian silicates which are the chief mineral composition of olivine and pyroxene. These minerals are predominantly found in mafic- ultramafic rocks. Also, we expect to find the calcic-plagioclase at high temperatures partitioned in the magma.
  • At a relatively low temperature, minerals with frame work structures begins to form . The magma is more enriched with felsic minerals and late stage crystallization occurs here.

A total charge of 4.70 is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force o
Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let q_1 and q_2 be the charges such that

q_1+q_2=4.7

and Force between charge particles is given by

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

4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}

q_1\cdot q_2=0.522

put the value of q_1

q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522

q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0

q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}

q_2=0.114 C

thus q_1=4.586 C

How fast can a 4000 kg truck travel around a 70 m radius turn without skidding if its tires share a 0.6 friction coefficient wit
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Velocity of truck will be 20.287 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the truck m = 4000 kg

Radius of the turn r = 70 m

Coefficient of friction \mu =0.6

Centripetal force is given  F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

And frictional force is equal to F_{frictional}=\mu mg

For body to be move these two forces must be equal

So \frac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg

v=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.6\times 70\times 9.8}=20.287m/sec
