B1) 20 pts. The thickness of each of the two sheets to be resistance spot welded is 3.5 mm. It is desired to form a weld nugget

that is 5.5 mm in diameter and 5.0 mm thick after 0.3 sec welding time. The unit melting energy for a certain sheet metal is 9.5 J/mm3 . The electrical resistance between the surfaces is 140 micro ohms, and only one third of the electrical energy generated will be used to form the weld nugget (the rest being dissipated), determine the minimum current level required.

Answer:

minimum current level required = 8975.95 amperes

Explanation:

Given data:

diameter = 5.5 mm

length = 5.0 mm

T = 0.3

unit melting energy = 9.5 j/mm^3

electrical resistance = 140 micro ohms

thickness of each of the two sheets = 3.5mm

Determine the minimum current level required

first we calculate the volume of the weld nugget

v = $\frac{\pi }{4} * D^2 * l$ = $\frac{\pi }{4} * 5.5^2 * 5$ = 118.73 mm^3

next calculate the required melting energy

= volume of weld nugget * unit melting energy

= 118.73 * 9.5 = 1127.94 joules

next find the actual required electric energy

= required melting energy / efficiency

= 1127 .94 / ( 1/3 ) = 3383.84 J

TO DETERMINE THE CURRENT LEVEL REQUIRED use the relation below

electrical energy = I^2 * R * T

3383.84 / R*T = I^2

3383.84 / (( 140 * 10^-6 ) * 0.3 ) = I^2

therefore 8975.95 = I ( current )

A commuter train traveling at 50 mi/h is 3 mi from a station. The train then decelerates so that its speed is 15 mi/h when it is

jonny [76]

Answer:

a) $t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$ , b) $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ , c) $a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

a) The deceleration experimented by the commuter train in the first 2.5 miles is:

$a=\frac{[(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}-[(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}}{2\cdot (2.5\,mi)\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )}$

$a = -0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

The time required to travel is:

$t = \frac{(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(50\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,fi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{-0.185\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 277.477\,s\,(4.625\min)$

b) The commuter train must stop when it reaches the station to receive passengers. Hence, speed of train must be $v_{f} = 0\,\frac{mi}{h}$ .

c) The final constant deceleration is:

$a = \frac{(0\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )-(15\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (\frac{5280\,ft}{1\,mi} )\cdot(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )}{(2.875\,min)\cdot (\frac{60\,s}{1\,min} )}$

$a = -0.128\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

An aggregate blend is composed of 55% aggregate A (Sp. Gr. 2.631), 25% aggregate B (Sp. Gr. 2.331) and 20% sand (Sp. Gr. 2.609).

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The right choice would be Option b (2.545).

Explanation:

The given values are:

The aggregate blend will be:

$W_A$ = 55%

$G_ A$ = 2.631

$W_ B$ = 25%

$G_B$ = 2.331

$W_C$ = 20%

$G_C$ = 2.609

Now,

On applying the formula, we get

⇒ $G_{BA}=\frac{W_A+W_B+W_C}{\frac{W_A}{G_A} +\frac{W_B}{G_B} +\frac{W_C}{G_C}}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{55+25+20}{\frac{55}{2.631} +\frac{25}{2.331} +\frac{20}{2.609}}$

⇒ $= \frac{100}{\frac{55}{2.631} +\frac{25}{2.331} +\frac{20}{2.609}}$

⇒ $=2.545$
