blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A : Orientation dependence of normal and shear stresses at a point in mechanical members

Explanation:

Since we know that in a general element of any loaded object the normal and shearing stresses vary in the whole body which can be mathematically represented as

$\sigma _{x'x'}=\frac{\sigma _{xx}+\sigma _{yy}}{2}+\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}cos(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}sin(2\theta )$

And $\tau _{x'x'}=-\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}sin(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}cos(2\theta )$

Mohr's circle is the graphical representation of the variation represented by the above 2 formulae in the general oriented element of a body that is under stresses.

The Mohr circle is graphically displayed in the attached figure.

Define an ADT for a two-dimensional array of integers. Specify precisely the basic operations that can be performed on such arra

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Explanation:

ADT for an 2-D array:

struct array{

int arr[10];

}arrmain[10];

An application that stores an array with 1000 rows and 1000 columns, where less than 10,000 of the array values are non-zero. The two different implementations for such arrays that would be more space efficient than a standard two-dimensional array implementation requiring one million positions are :

1) struct array{

int *p;

}arr[1000];

2) struct array{

int *p;

}arr[1000];

1. Examine the following circuit. Find RT, I3, R1, R2, R3, V1, V2 and V3. Show all of your work clearly below.

Mkey [24]

Explanation:

Ohm's law is used here. V = IR, and variations. The voltage across all elements is the same in this parallel circuit. (V1 =V2 =V3)

The total supply current is the sum of the currents in each of the branches. (It = I1 +I2 +I3)

Rt = (8 V)/(8 A) = 1 Ω . . . . supply voltage divided by supply current

I3 = 8A -3A -4A = 1 A . . . . supply current not flowing through other branches

R1 = (8 V)/(3 A) = 8/3 Ω

R2 = (8 V)/(4 A) = 2 Ω

R3 = (8 V)/(I3) = (8 V)/(1 A) = 8 Ω

V1 = V2 = V3 = 8 V

When subject to an unknown torque, the shear stress in a 2 mm thick rectangular tube of dimension 100 mm x 200 mm was found to b

laila [671]

Answer:

The shear stress will be 80 MPa

Explanation:

Here we have;

τ = (T·r)/J

For rectangular tube, we have;

Average shear stress given as follows;

Where;

$\tau_{ave} = \frac{T}{2tA_{m}}$

$A_m$ = 100 mm × 200 mm = 20000 mm² = 0.02 m²

t = Thickness of the shaft in question = 2 mm = 0.002 m

T = Applied torque

Therefore, 50 MPa = T/(2×0.002×0.02)

T = 50 MPa × 0.00008 m³ = 4000 N·m

Where the dimension is 50 mm × 250 mm, which is 0.05 m × 0.25 m

Therefore, $A_m$ = 0.05 m × 0.25 m = 0.0125 m².

Therefore, from the following average shear stress formula, we have;

$\tau_{ave} = \frac{T}{2tA_{m}}$

Plugging in then values, gives;

$\tau_{ave} = \frac{4000}{2\times 0.002 \times 0.0125} = 80,000,000 Pa$

The shear stress will be 80,000,000 Pa or 80 MPa.
