A typical aircraft fuselage structure would be capable of carrying torsion moment. a)True b)- False
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An aircraft is subject to 3 primary rotations

1) About longitudinal axis known as rolling

2) About lateral axis known as known as pitching

3) About the vertical axis known as yawing

The rolling of the aircraft induces torsion in the body of the aircraft thus the fuselage structure should be capable of carrying torsion

The wall of drying oven is constructed by sandwiching insulation material of thermal conductivity k = 0.05 W/m°K between thin me
masha68 [24]

Answer:

86 mm

Explanation:

From the attached thermal circuit diagram, equation for i-nodes will be

\frac {T_ \infty, i-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cv, i}} + \frac {T_{o}-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + q_{rad} = 0 Equation 1

Similarly, the equation for outer node “o” will be

\frac {T_{ i}-T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + \frac {T_{\infty, o} -T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cv, o}} = 0 Equation 2

The conventive thermal resistance in i-node will be

R^{"}_{cv, i}= \frac {1}{h_{i}}= \frac {1}{30}= 0.033 m^{2}K/w Equation 3

The conventive hermal resistance per unit area is

R^{"}_{cv, o}= \frac {1}{h_{o}}= \frac {1}{10}= 0.100 m^{2}K/w Equation 4

The conductive thermal resistance per unit area is

R^{"}_{cd}= \frac {L}{K}= \frac {L}{0.05} m^{2}K/w Equation 5

Since q_{rad}  is given as 100, T_{o}  is 40 T_ \infty  is 300 T_{\infty, o}  is 25  

Substituting the values in equations 3,4 and 5 into equations 1 and 2 we obtain

\frac {300-T_{i}}{0.033} +\frac {40-T_{i}}{L/0.05} +100=0  Equation 6

\frac {T_{ i}-40}{L/0.05}+ \frac {25-40}{0.100}=0

T_{i}-40= \frac {L}{0.05}*150

T_{i}-40=3000L

T_{i}=3000L+40 Equation 7

From equation 6 we can substitute wherever there’s T_{i} with 3000L+40 as seen in equation 7 hence we obtain

\frac {300- (3000L+40)}{0.033} + \frac {40- (3000L+40)}{L/0.05}+100=0

The above can be simplified to be

\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}+ \frac {(-3000L)}{L/0.05}+100=0

\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}=50

-3000L=1.665-260

L= \frac {-258.33}{-3000}=0.086*10^{-3}m= 86mm

Therefore, insulation thickness is 86mm

Which statement about tensile stress is true? A. Forces that act perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart exert a t
svp [43]

Answer:

A. Forces that act perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart exert a tensile stress on the object.

Explanation:

Tensile stress is referred as a deforming force, in which force acts perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart, attempting to elongate it.

The tensile stress is a type of normal stress, in which a perpendicular force creates the stress to an object’s surface.

Hence, the correct option is "A."
