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

Illusion [34]

Answer:

True  b and c

Explanation:

In an RLC circuit the impedance is

         Z = \sqrt{[R^{2} + ( (wL)^{2} + (\frac{1}{wC})^{2} ]     }

examine the different phrases..

a) False. The maximum impedance is the value of the resistance  

b) True. Resonance occurs when  

              (wL)² + (1 / wC)² = 0

               w² = 1 / LC

c) True. In resonance the impedance is the resistive part and the power is maximum  

d) False. In resonance the inductive and capacitive part cancel each other out  

e) False. The impedance is always greater outside of resonance, but at the resonance point they are equal

Gravitational force depends on the mass of an object.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

sun, earth, capitol building, human, atom

Explanation:

Gravity is directly proportional to the size of an object. Therefore, the object with the most mass will have the greatest force of gravity. We know this from the equation. F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

A spring stretches 3.5 cm when a 9 g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 26 g which oscillates i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The period of motion  of new mass T = 0.637 sec

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of object (m) = 9 gm = 0.009 kg

Δx = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

We know that spring force is given by

F = m g

F = 0.009 × 9.81 = 0.08829 N

Spring constant

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{0.08829}{0.035}

k = 2.522 \frac{N}{m}

New mass(m_1) = 26 gm = 0.026 kg

Now the period of motion is given by

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.026}{2.522} }

T = 0.637 sec

This is the period of motion  of new mass.
