A 40 mph wind is blowing past your house and speeds up as it flows up and over the roof. If the elevation effects are negligible

, determine (a) the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60 mph if the pressure in the free stream blowing toward your house is 14.7 psi. Would this effect tend to push the roof down against the house, or would it tend to lift the roof

The pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

<u>Explanation:</u>

The question follows Bernoulli's equation

P1 + 1/2 ρ V1² = P2 + 1/2 ρ V2²

V1 = 40 X 5280 / 3600 = 58.7 ft/s

V2 = 60 X 5280 / 3600 = 88 ft/s

P2 = P1 + 1/2 ( 0.00238 ) [(58.7)² - (88)²]

P2 - P1 = -5.12lb/ft²

The negative pressure created tends to lift the roof.

We know,

P1 = 14.7 psi = 2116.8 lb/ft²

P2 = 2116.8 - 5.12 lb/ft²

P2 = 2111.68 lb/ft²

P2 = 14.66 psi

Therefore, the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

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

a cantilever beam 1.5m long has a square box cross section with the outer width and height being 100mm and a wall thickness of 8
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a) 159.07 MPa

b) 10.45 MPa

c) 79.535 MPa

Explanation:

Given data :

length of cantilever beam = 1.5m

outer width and height = 100 mm

wall thickness = 8mm

uniform load carried by beam  along entire length= 6.5 kN/m

concentrated force at free end = 4kN

first we  determine these values :

Mmax = ( 6.5 *(1.5) * (1.5/2) + 4 * 1.5 ) = 13312.5 N.m

Vmax = ( 6.5 * (1.5) + 4 ) = 13750 N

A) determine max bending stress

б = \frac{MC}{I}  =  \frac{13312.5 ( 0.112)}{1/12(0.1^4-0.084^4)}  =  159.07 MPa

B) Determine max transverse shear stress

attached below

   ζ = 10.45 MPa

C) Determine max shear stress in the beam

This occurs at the top of the beam or at the centroidal axis

hence max stress in the beam =  159.07 / 2 = 79.535 MPa  

attached below is the remaining solution

What is the De Broglie wavelength of an electron under 150 V acceleration?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

0.1 nm

Explanation

Potential deference of the electron is given as V =150 V

Mass of electron m=9.1\times 10^{-31}

Let the velocity of electron = v

Charge on the electron =1.6\times 10^{-19}C

plank's constant h =6.67\times 10^{-34}

According to energy conservation eV =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{M}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 150}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}=7.2627\times 10^{-6}m/sec

Now we know that De Broglie wavelength \lambda =\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 7.2627\times10^6 }=0.100\times 10^{-9}m=0.1nm

Create a variable pounds to store weight in pounds. Convert this to kilograms and assign the result to a variable kilos. The con
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

>>pounds=13.2

>>kilos=pounds/2.2

Explanation:

Using Matlab to write the program, consider at any time when the weight in pounds is 13.2 lb, this variable of weight is created in MATLAB by typing >>pounds=13.2. To convert it from lb to Kg, we simply divide it by 2.2 hence the second command to created is kilos. For this, the output of the program will be 6 Kg.
