A rectangular block of material with shear modulus G= 620 MPa is fixed to rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. Thelower

plate remains fixed while the upper plate is subjected to a horizontal force, P. If the top plate displaces 2 mm horizontally, determine:
a. the average shear strain in the material
b. the force P exerted on the upper plate.

Answer:

γ $_{xy}$ =0.01, P=248 kN

Explanation:

Given Data:

displacement = 2mm ;

height = 200mm ;

l = 400mm ;

w = 100 ;

G = 620 MPa = 620 N//mm²; 1MPa = 1N//mm²

a. Average Shear Strain:

The average shear strain can be determined by dividing the total displacement of plate by height

γ $_{xy}$ = displacement / total height

= 2/200 = 0.01

b. Force P on upper plate:

Now, as we know that force per unit area equals to stress

τ = P/A

Also, τ = Gγ $_{xy}$

By comapring both equations, we get

P/A = Gγ $_{xy}$ ------------ eq(1)

First we need to calculate total area,

A = l*w = 400 * 100= 4*10^4mm²

By putting the values in equation 1, we get

P/40000 = 620 * 0.01

P = 248000 N or 2.48 *10^5 N or 248 kN

In a certain chemical plant, a closed tank contains ethyl alcohol to a depth of 71 ft. Air at a pressure of 17 psi fills the gap

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

the pressure at a closed valve attached to the tank 10 ft above its bottom is 37.88 psi

Explanation:

Given that;

depth 1 = 71 ft

depth 2 = 10 ft

pressure p = 17 psi = 2448 lb/ft²

depth h = 71 ft - 10 ft = 61 ft

we know that;

p = P_air + yh

where y is the specific weight of ethyl alcohol ( 49.3 lb/ft³ )

so we substitute;

p = 2448 + ( 49.3 × 61 )

= 2448 + 3007.3

= 5455.3 lb/ft³

= 37.88 psi

Therefore, the pressure at a closed valve attached to the tank 10 ft above its bottom is 37.88 psi

Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring for over four billion years

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Inside the Sun.

Explanation:

Inside the Sun, this process begins with protons (which is simply a lone hydrogen nucleus) and through a series of steps, these protons fuse together and are turned into helium. This fusion process occurs inside the core of the Sun, and the transformation results in a release of energy that keeps the sun hot.

What is the voltage output (in V) of a transformer used for rechargeable flashlight batteries, if its primary has 515 turns, its

kow [346]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

7532V

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

For a given transformer, the ratio of the number of turns in its primary coil ( $N_{p}$ ) to the number of turns in its secondary coil ( $N_{s}$ ) is equal to the ratio of the input voltage ( $V_{p}$ ) to the output voltage ( $V_{s}$ ) of the transformer. i.e

$\frac{N_p}{N_s}$ = $\frac{V_p}{V_s}$ ----------------(i)

<em>From the question;</em>

$N_{p}$ = number of turns in the primary coil = 8 turns

$N_{s}$ = number of turns in the secondary coil = 515 turns

$V_{p}$ = input voltage = 117V

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

$\frac{8}{515}$ = $\frac{117}{V_s}$

<em>Solve for </em> $V_{s}$ <em>;</em>

$V_{s}$ = 117 x 515 / 8

$V_{s}$ = 7532V

Therefore, the output voltage (in V) of the transformer is 7532

A spacecraft at rest has moment of inertia of 100 kg-m^2 about an axis of interest. If a 1 newton thruster with a 1 meter moment

Kazeer [188]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to translational torque, angular torque and the kinematic equations of angular movement with which we will find the angular displacement of the system.

Translational torque can be defined as,

$\tau = Fd$

Here,

F = Force

d = Distance which the force is applied

$\tau = (1N)(1m)$

$\tau = 1N\cdot m$

At the same time the angular torque is defined as the product between the moment of inertia and the angular acceleration, so using the previous value of the found torque, and with the moment of inertia given by the statement, we would have that the angular acceleration is

$\tau = I\alpha$

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{1N\cdot m}{100kg\cdot m^2}$

$\alpha = 0.01rad/s^2$

Now the angular displacement is

$\theta = \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Here

$\omega_0$ = Initial angular velocity

t = time

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Angular displacement

Time is given as 1 minute, in seconds will be

$t = 1m = 60s$

There is not initial angular velocity, then

$\theta= \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Replacing,

$\theta= \frac{1}{2}(0.01)(60)^2$

$\theta = 18rad$

The question neglects the effect of gravitational force.
