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 )

To provide some perspective on the dimensions of atomic defects, consider a metal specimen that has a dislocation density of 105

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$62.14\ \text{miles}$

$6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Explanation:

The distance of the chain would be the product of the dislocation density and the volume of the metal.

Dislocation density = $10^5\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^5\times 1000=10^8\ \text{mm}\\ =10^5\ \text{m}$

$1\ \text{mile}=1609.34\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^5}{1609.34}=62.14\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $62.14\ \text{miles}$

Dislocation density = $10^{10}\ \text{mm}^{-2}$

Volume of the metal = $1000\ \text{mm}^3$

$10^{10}\times 1000=10^{13}\ \text{mm}\\ =10^{10}\ \text{m}$

$\dfrac{10^{10}}{1609.34}=6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

The chain would extend $6213727.37\ \text{miles}$

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life are;

1) The needles of a sewing machine

2) Electric powered reciprocating saw blade

3) The motion of a manual tire pump

Explanation:

A reciprocating motion is a motion that consists of motion of a part in an upward and downwards $(\updownarrow)$ or in a backward and forward (↔) direction repetitively

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life includes the reciprocating motion of the needles of a sewing machine and the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating saw and the motion of a manual tire pump

In a sewing machine, a crank shaft in between a wheel and the needle transforms the rotary motion of the wheel into reciprocating motion of the needle.

Takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand. a)- True b)- False

laila [671]

Answer: a)True

Explanation: Takt time is defined as the average time difference between the production of the two consecutive unit of goods by the manufacturer and this rate is matched with the demand of the customer. This is the time which is calculated to find the acceptable time for which the goods unit must be produced by the factory to meet the needs of the customer. Therefore , the statement is true that takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand.

A tool chest has 950 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

P > 142.5 N (→)

the motion sliding

Explanation:

Given

W = 959 N

μs = 0.3

If we apply

∑ Fy = 0 (+↑)

Ay + By = W

If Ay = By

2*By = W

By = W / 2

By = 950 N / 2

By = 475 N (↑)

Then we can get F (the force of friction) as follows

F = μs*N = μs*By

F = 0.3*475 N

F = 142.5 N (←)

we can apply

P - F > 0

P > 142.5 N (→)
