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 )

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength $(\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa$ , Fracture strength

$(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa$

a) The critical length ( $L_c$ ) is given by:

$L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm$

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

$\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}} \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456$

pentagon [3]

Answer:

b. the supremacy clause

Explanation:

This is clearly a violation of the supremacy clause of the constitution. The supremacy clause makes the constitution and federal laws made under the constitutional authority the supreme law of the united state. And in a case where there is a conflicting state law, as we have here with Oregon, the federal law is supposed to take priority.

So in this case where the federal law and the state law do not agree, the feral law has the power to override the law of the state. So oregon has violated the supremacy clause
