Answer:

Specific gravity is an expression of density in relation to the density of a standard or reference (usually water). Also, density is expressed in units (weight relative to size) while specific gravity is a pure number or dimensionless.

Define the stress and strength? A material has yield strength 100 kpsi. A cantilever beam has length 10 in and a load of 100 Lbf
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Stress is a force that acts on a unit area of a material. The strength of a material is how much stress it can bear without permanently deforming or breaking.

Is the beam design acceptable for a SF of 2? YES

Explanation:

Your factor of safety is 2, this means your stress allowed is:

  • σall = YS/FS = 100kpsi/2 = 50kpsi

Where:

  • σall => Stress allowed
  • YS => Yield Strength
  • FS => Factor of safety

Now we are going to calculate the shear stress and bending stresses of the proposed scenario. If the calculated stresses are less than the allowed stress, that means the design is adequate for a factor of safety of 2.

First off we calculate the reaction force on your beam. And for this you do sum of forces in the Y direction and equal to 0 because your system is in equilibrium:

  1. ΣFy = 0
  2. -100 + Ry = 0     thus,
  3. Ry = 100 lbf

Knowing this reaction force you can already calculate the shear stress on the cantilever beam:

  1. τ = F/A
  2. τ = 100lbf/(2in*5in)
  3. τ = 10 psi

Now, you do a sum of moments at the fixed end of your cantilever beam, so you can cancel off any bending moment associated with the reaction forces on the fixed end, and again equal to 0 because your system is in equilibrium.

  1. ΣM = 0
  2. -100lbf*10in + M = 0
  3. M = 1000 lbf-in

Knowing the maximum bending moment you can now calculate your bending stress as follows:

  • σ = M*c/Ix

Where:

  • σ => Bending Stress
  • M => Bending Moment
  • c => Distance from the centroid of your beam geometry to the outermost fiber.
  • Ix => Second moment area of inertia

Out of the 3 values needed, we already know M. But we still need to figure out c and Ix. Getting c is very straight forward, since you have a rectangle with base (b) 2 and height (h) 5, you know the centroid is right at the center of the rectangle, meaning that the distance from the centroid to the outermost fibre would be 5in/2=2.5in

To calculate the moment of Inertia, you need to use the formula for the second moment of Inertia of a rectangle and knowing that you will use Ix since you are bending over the x axis:

  • Ix = (b*h^3)/12 = (2in*5in^3)/12 = 20.83 in4

Now you can use this numbers in your bending stress formula:

  1. σ = M*c/Ix
  2. σ = 1000 lbf-in * 2.5in / 20.83 in4
  3. σ = 120 psi

The shear stress is 10psi and the bending stress is 120psi, this means you are way below the stress allowed which is 50,000 psi, thus the beam design is acceptable. You could actually use a different geometry to optimize your design.

java Your program class should be called RomanNumerals Write a program that asks the user to enter a number within the range of
Ann [662]

Answer:

// Scanner class is imported to allow program

// receive input

import java.util.Scanner;

// RomanNumerals class is defined

public class RomanNumerals {

   // main method that signify beginning of program execution

   public static void main(String args[]) {

       // Scanner object scan is created

       // it receive input via keyboard

       Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

       // Prompt is display asking the user to enter number

       System.out.println("Enter your number: ");

       // the user input is stored at numberOfOrder

       int number = scan.nextInt();

     

           // switch statement which takes number as argument

           // the switch statement output the correct roman numeral

           // depending on user input

          switch(number){

           case 1:

               System.out.println("I");

               break;

           case 2:

               System.out.println("II");

               break;

           case 3:

               System.out.println("III");

               break;

           case 4:

               System.out.println("IV");

               break;

           case 5:

               System.out.println("V");

               break;

           case 6:

               System.out.println("VI");

               break;

           case 7:

               System.out.println("VII");

               break;

           case 8:

               System.out.println("VIII");

               break;

           case 9:

               System.out.println("IX");

               break;

           case 10:

               System.out.println("X");

               break;

           // this part is executed if user input is not between 1 to 10

           default:

               System.out.println("Error. Number must be between 1 - 10.");

     }

   }

}

Explanation:

The program is well commented. A sample image of program output is attached.

The switch statement takes the user input (number) as argument as it goes through each case block in the switch statement and match with the corresponding case to output the roman version of that number. If the number is greater 10 or less than 1; the default block is executed and it display an error message telling the user that number must be between 1 - 10.

While discussing PCV valve operation: Technician A says that the PCV valve opening is decreased at part-throttle operation compa
Levart [38]

Answer:

Both are incorrect.

Explanation:

PCV valve opening is dependent on amount of manifold vacuum value. The opening cannot decrease due to part throttle operation. The PCV system is a tampered valve whose opening depend upon intake manifold vacuum. PCV valve is supported by a spring and is initially in a closed position.

(a) Describe the events that take place when a specimen undergoes a tension test. Sketch a plausible (engineering) stress-strain
allsm [11]

Answer:

  • The specimen elongates linearly in response to the load to its proportionality limit.
  • The specimen undergoes non- elastic deformation to its yield point.
  • when stretched beyond its yield point, it deforms plastically until it reaches a maximum stress limit called the Ultimate tensile strength.
  • If loaded beyond this, the material begins necking until fracture.

Explanation:

The stress strain curve for a ductile material is shown in the attachment below.

A-B: There is a linear relationship between extension produced to load added. Point B is called the proportionality limit.

B-C: There a non linear extension of a material produced by the material in response to the applied load. Point C is called the Yield point. Beyond this, the material does not return to its original dimensions when the load is removed.

C-D. The material extends to a maximum point D, called the Ultimate tensile stress. Beyond this necking occurs.

D-E. Necking begins until the material finally fractures at point E.

Regions: A-C : Eleastic region

Regions: C-E : Plastic region

Regions: D-E : Necking region
