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

A 4-kW electric heater runs for 2 hours to raise the room temperature to the desired level. Determine the amount of electric ene
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Q' = 8 KW.h

Q'=28800 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Heat Q= 4 KW

time ,t = 2 hours

The amount of energy used in KWh given as

Q ' = Q x t

Q' = 4 x  2 KW.h

Q' = 8 KW.h

We know that

1 h = 60 min = 60 x 60 s  = 3600 s

We know that W  = 1 J/s

The amount of energy used in KJ given as

Q' = 8 x 3600 = 28800 KJ

Therefore

Q' = 8 KW.h

Q'=28800 KJ

A Carnot cycle is to be designed to attain
Anni [7]

Answer:

reservoir is 727°C, then low temperature

Explanation:

Efficiency for any Heat engine = Work done by engine / Heat provided to the engine

Also, for a carnot engine derived formula for Carnot Engine

= 1- T2/T1

Where, T2 = sink reservoir temperature

and T1 = source reservoir temperature

727° C = 1000 K

So, 0.75 = 1-T2 / 1000

So, T2 = 1000*0.25 = 250 K = -23 Kelvin

Convert 580,000 kW to [GW] with correct number of significant digits.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

x = 0.58\,GW

Explanation:

The conversion is:

x = (580000\,kW)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,GW}{1000000\,kW} \right)

x = 0.58\,GW

A W18 X 119 is used as a compression member with one end fixed and the other end pinned. The length is 12 feet. What is the desi
laiz [17]

Answer:

156.0 ksi

Explanation:

The formula of compressive strength is  CS = F / A

where F is the force or load while A is the cross-sectional area

Given the inertia Ag = 35.1 in^4 , which is less than 40, the steel has a short column.

E = 29000 ksi

L = 12ft

r = 2.69 in

therefore;

CS = π^2 E / (kL^2/r)^2

   = π^2 29000 / (0.8 x 12^2 / 2.69)^2

  = 286292.756 / 1834.4089 = 156 ksi
