Answer:

c. Sound travels slower than light.

Explanation:

We see any thing because of the light emitted or reflected by it. Whereas the sound is carried by the sound waves. The speed of light is more than the speed of sound. This is the reason the family saw the fireworks first and then heard the sound.

The same can be experienced during the sighting of a Jet plane or a rocket where, we see them way before we can hear the roaring sound of its engines.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

2991.47 [cm^2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must perform a dimensional analysis and use the corresponding conversion values:

3.22[ft^{2}]*\frac{12^{2}in^{2} }{1^{2}ft^{2}} *\frac{2.54^{2}cm^{2}  }{1^{2}in^{2} } \\2991.47[cm^{2}]

A steel bar of rectangular cross section (1.5 in. 2 3 .0 in.) carries a tensile load P (see fig- ure). The allowable stresses in
lukranit [14]

Explanation:

Value of the cross-sectional area is as follows.

        A = 1.5 \times 2.30

           = 3.45 in^{2}

The given data is as follows.

          Allowable stress = 14,500 psi

          Shear stress = 7100 psi

Now, we will calculate maximum load from allowable stress as follows.

           P_{max} = \sigma_{a}A

                       = 14500 \times 3.45

                       = 50025 lb

Now, maximum load from shear stress is as follows.

           P_{max} = 2 \times \tau_{a} \times A

                      = 2 \times 7100 \times 3.45

                      = 48990 lb

Hence, P_{max} will be calculated as follows.

       P_{max} = min((P_{max})_{\sigma}, (P_{max})_{\tau})

                  = 48990 lb

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum permissible load P_{max} is 48990 lb.
