Explanation:

Step1

Degree of freedom is the number of independent variable which is required to define motion of the system. Degree of freedom is the number of possible motion of the system. Motion can be sliding or rotate. So, there are maximum 6 possible motions of the system, 3 of rotation and 3 of translation. There are 6 maximum possible degrees of freedoms.

Step2

Take an example of slider that is allowed to slide only. So, the slider will have one degree of freedom. Take an example of cylinder which can rotate as well as slide. So, it will have 2 degree of freedom.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate.

Explanation:

NB: kindly check below for the attached picture.

The term ''Euler circuit'' can simply be defined as the graph that shows the edge of K once in a finite way by starting and putting a stop to it at the same vertex.

The term "Hamiltonian Circuit" is also known as the Hamiltonian cycle which is all about a one time visit to the vertex.

Here in this question, the door is the vertex and the road is the edge.

The information needed to detemine a Euler circuit and a Hamilton circuit is;

"the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate."

(a) The lower yield point for an iron that has an average grain diameter of 1 x 10-2 mm is 230 MPa. At a grain diameter of 6 x 1

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The answer is " $4.35 \times 10^{-3}\ mm$ and 157.5 MPa".

Explanation:

In point A:

The strength of its products with both the grain dimension is linked to this problem. This formula also for grain diameter of 310 MPA is represented as its low yield point

$y = yo + \frac{k}{\sqrt{x}}$

Here y is MPa is low yield point, x is mm grain size, and k becomes proportionality constant.

Replacing the equation for each condition:

$y = y_o + \frac{k}{\sqrt{(1 \times 10^{-2})}}\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ 230 = yo + 10k\\\\ y = yo + \frac{k}{\sqrt{(6\times 10^{-3})}}\\\\275 = yo + 12.90k$

People can get yo = 275 MPa with both equations and k= 15.5 Mpa $mm^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

To substitute the answer,

$310 = 275 + \frac{(15.5)}{\sqrt{x}}\\\\x = 0.00435 \ mm = 4.35 \times 10^{-3}\ mm$

In point b:

The equation is $\sigma y = \sigma 0 + k y d^{\frac{1}{2}}$

equation is:

$75 = \sigma o+4 ky \\\\175 = \sigma o+12 ky\\\\ky = 12.5 MPa (mm)^{\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ \sigma 0 = 25 MPa\\\\d= 8.9 \times 10^{-3}\\\\d^{- \frac{1}{2}} =10.6 mm^{-\frac{1}{2}}\\$

by putting the above value in the formula we get the $\sigma y$ value that is= 157.5 MPa
