Answer:

Electrical faults are also caused due to human errors such as selecting improper rating of equipment or devices, forgetting metallic or electrical conducting parts after servicing or maintenance, switching the circuit while it is under servicing, etc.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

F₁ = 1500 N

F₂ = 750 N

$F_{e}$ = 500 N

Explanation:

Given :

Power transmission, P = 7.5 kW

= 7.5 x 1000 W

= 7500 W

Belt velocity, V = 10 m/s

F₁ = 2 F₂

Now we know from power transmission equation

P = ( F₁ - F₂ ) x V

7500 = ( F₁ - F₂ ) x 10

750 = F₁ - F₂

750 = 2 F₂ - F₂ ( ∵F₁ = 2 F₂ )

∴F₂ = 750 N

Now F₁ = 2 F₂

F₁ = 2 x F₂

F₁ = 2 x 750

F₁ = 1500 N , this is the maximum force.

Therefore we know,

$F_{max}$ = 3 x $F_{e}$

where $F_{e}$ is centrifugal force

$F_{e}$ = $F_{max}$ / 3

= 1500 / 3

= 500 N

The state of plane strain on an element is:

balu736 [363]

Answer:

a. ε₁=-0.000317

ε₂=0.000017

θ₁= -13.28° and θ₂=76.72°

b. maximum in-plane shear strain =3.335 *10^-4

Associated average normal strain ε(avg) =150 *10^-6

θ = 31.71 or -58.29

Explanation:

$\epsilon _{1,2} =\frac{\epsilon_x + \epsilon_y}{2} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{\epsilon_x + \epsilon_y}{2} )^2 + (\frac{\gamma_xy}{2})^2} \\\\\epsilon _{1,2} =\frac{-300 \times 10^{-6} + 0}{2} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{-300 \times 10^{-6}+ 0}{2}) ^2 + (\frac{150 \times 10^-6}{2})^2}\\\\\epsilon _{1,2} = -150 \times 10^{-6} \pm 1.67 \times 10^{-4}$

ε₁=-0.000317

ε₂=0.000017

To determine the orientation of ε₁ and ε₂

$tan 2 \theta_p = \frac{\gamma_xy}{\epsilon_x - \epsilon_y} \\\\tan 2 \theta_p = \frac{150 \times 10^{-6}}{-300 \times 10^{-6}-\ 0}\\\\tan 2 \theta_p = -0.5$

θ= -13.28° and 76.72°

To determine the direction of ε₁ and ε₂

$\epsilon _{x' }=\frac{\epsilon_x + \epsilon_y}{2} + \frac{\epsilon_x -\epsilon_y}{2} cos2\theta + \frac{\gamma_xy}{2}sin2\theta \\\\\epsilon _{x'} =\frac{-300 \times 10^{-6}+ \ 0}{2} + \frac{-300 \times 10^{-6} -\ 0}{2} cos(-26.56) + \frac{150 \times 10^{-6}}{2}sin(-26.56)\\\\$

=-0.000284 -0.0000335 = -0.000317 =ε₁

Therefore θ₁= -13.28° and θ₂=76.72°

b. maximum in-plane shear strain

$\gamma_{max \ in \ plane} =2\sqrt{(\frac{\epsilon_x + \epsilon_y}{2} )^2 + (\frac{\gamma_xy}{2})^2} \\\\\gamma_{max \ in \ plane} = 2\sqrt{(\frac{-300 *10^{-6} + 0}{2} )^2 + (\frac{150 *10^{-6}}{2})^2}$

=3.335 *10^-4

$\epsilon_{avg} =(\frac{\epsilon_x + \epsilon_y}{2} )$

ε(avg) =150 *10^-6

orientation of γmax

$tan 2 \theta_s = \frac{-(\epsilon_x - \epsilon_y)}{\gamma_xy} \\\\tan 2 \theta_s = \frac{-(-300*10^{-6} - 0)}{150*10^{-6}}$

θ = 31.71 or -58.29

To determine the direction of γmax

$\gamma _{x'y' }= - \frac{\epsilon_x -\epsilon_y}{2} sin2\theta + \frac{\gamma_xy}{2}cos2\theta \\\\\gamma _{x'y' }= - \frac{-300*10^{-6} - \ 0}{2} sin(63.42) + \frac{150*10^{-6}}{2}cos(63.42)$

= 1.67 *10^-4
