A 12-ft circular steel rod with a diameter of 1.5-in is in tension due to a pulling force of 70-lb. Calculate the stress in the
padilas [110]

Answer:

The stress in the rod is 39.11 psi.

Explanation:

The stress due to a pulling force is obtained dividing the pulling force by the the area of the cross section of the rod. The respective area for a cylinder is:

A=\pi*D^2/4

Replacing the diameter the area results:

A= 17.76 in^2

Therefore the the stress results:

σ = 70/17.76 lb/in^2 = 39.11 lb/in^2= 39.11 psi

A dielectric material, such as Teflon®, is placed between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor without altering the structur
Lina20 [59]

Answer: The electric field decreases because of the insertion of the Teflon.

Explanation:

If the charge on the capacitor is held fixed, the electric field as a consequence of this charge distribution (directed from the positive charged plate to the negative charged one remains unchanged.

However, as the Teflon is a dielectric material, even though doesn't allow the free movement of the electrons as an answer to an applied electric field, it allows that the electrons be displaced from the equilibrium position, leaving a local negative-charged zone close to the posiitive plate of the capacitor, and an equal but opposite charged layer close to the negative plate.

In this way, a internal electric field is created, that opposes to the external one due to the capacitor, which overall effect is diminishing the total electric field, reducing the voltage between the plates, and  increasing the capacitance proportionally to the dielectric constant of the Teflon.

Stream Piracy – Kaaterskill, NY. Check and double-click the Problem 15 folder. The dark blue and orange streams highlight the pr
baherus [9]

Answer:

b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.

Explanation:

From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.

The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.

However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.

The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.

It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.

As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.
