5 0

Answer:

Logarithmic decrement is equal to 0.182

Explanation:

given,

amplitude decay = 9 dB          

number of cycles = 12 cycles        

mass of the system = 7 kg        

spring stiffness = 3000 N/m            

logarithmic decrement = ?                  

now,                                                      

logarithmic decreament = ln\ D^{\frac{1}{n}}

                                        = ln\ 9^{\frac{1}{12}}

                                        =ln (1.2)

                                        = 0.182

Hence, Logarithmic decrement is equal to 0.182

Which allows a user to run applications on a computing device? Group of answer choices Application software CSS Operating system
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The operating system

Explanation:

The job of the operating system is to manage system resources allowing the abstraction of the hardware, providing a simple user interface for the user.  The operating system is also responsible for handling application's access to system resources.

For this purpose, the operating system allows a user to run applications on their computing device.

Cheers.

A cylindrical specimen of steel has an original diameter of 12.8 mm. It is tested in tension its engineering fracture strength i
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) The ductility = -30.12%

the negative sign means reduction

Therefore, there is 30.12% reduction

b) the true stress at fracture is 658.26 Mpa

Explanation:

Given that;

Original diameter d_{o} = 12.8 mm

Final diameter d_{f} = 10.7

Engineering stress  \alpha _{E} = 460 Mpa

a) determine The ductility in terms of percent reduction in area;

Ai = π/4(d_{o} )²  ; Ag = π/4(d_{f} )²

% = π/4 [ ( (d_{f} )² - (d_{o} )²) / ( π/4  (d_{o} )²) ]

= ( (d_{f} )² - (d_{o} )²) / (d_{o} )² × 100

we substitute

= [( (10.7)² - (12.8)²) / (12.8)² ] × 100

= [(114.49 - 163.84) / 163.84 ] × 100

= - 0.3012 × 100

= -30.12%

the negative sign means reduction

Therefore, there is 30.12% reduction

b) The true stress at fracture;

True stress  \alpha _{T} = \alpha _{E} ( 1 +  E_{E} )

E_{E}  is engineering strain

E_{E}  = dL / Lo

= (do² - df²) / df² = (12.8² - 10.7²) / 10.7² = (163.84 - 114.49) / 114.49

= 49.35 / 114.49  

E_{E} = 0.431

so we substitute the value of E_{E}  into our initial equation;

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 460 ( 1 +  0.431)

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 460 (1.431)

True stress  \alpha _{T} = 658.26 Mpa

Therefore, the true stress at fracture is 658.26 Mpa

An air-standard Carnot cycle is executed in a closed system between the temperature limits of 350 and 1200 K. The pressures befo
SVEN [57.7K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An air-standard Carnot cycle is executed in a closed system between the temperature limits of 350 and 1200 K. The pressures before and after the isothermal compression are 150 and 300 kPa, respectively. If the net work output per cycle is 0.5 kJ, determine (a) the maximum pressure in the cycle, (b) the heat transfer to air, and (c) the mass of air. Assume variable specific heats for air.

Answer:

a) the maximum pressure in the cycle is 30.01 Mpa

b) the heat transfer to air is 0.7058 KJ

c) mass of Air is 0.002957 kg

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

We find the relative pressure of air at 1200 K (T1) and 350 K ( T4)

so from the "ideal gas properties of air table"

Pr1 = 238

Pr4 = 2.379

we know that Pressure P1 is only maximum at the beginning of the expansion process,

so

now we express the relative pressure and pressure relation for the process 4-1

P1 = (Pr2/Pr4)P4

so we substitute

P1 = (238/2.379)300 kPa

P1 = 30012.6 kPa = 30.01 Mpa

Therefore the maximum pressure in the cycle is 30.01 Mpa

b)

the Thermal heat efficiency of the Carnot cycle is expressed as;

ηth = 1 - (TL/TH)

we substitute

ηth = 1 - (350K/1200K)

ηth = 1 - 0.2916

ηth = 0.7084

now we find the heat transferred

Qin = W_net.out / ηth

given that the net work output per cycle is 0.5 kJ

we substitute

Qin = 0.5 / 0.7084

Qin = 0.7058 KJ

Therefore, the heat transfer to air is 0.7058 KJ

c)

first lets express the change in entropy for process 3 - 4

S4 - S3 = (S°4 - S°3) - R.In(P4/P3)

S4 - S3 = - (0.287 kJ/Kg.K) In(300/150)kPa

= -0.1989 Kj/Kg.K = S1 - S2

so that; S2 - S1 = 0.1989 Kj/Kg.K

Next we find the net work output per unit mass for the Carnot cycle

W"_netout = (S2 - S1)(TH - TL)

we substitute

W"_netout = ( 0.1989 Kj/Kg.K )( 1200 - 350)K

= 169.065 kJ/kg

Finally we find the mass

mass m = W_ net.out /  W"_netout

we substitute

m = 0.5 / 169.065

m = 0.002957 kg

Therefore, mass of Air is 0.002957 kg

An interior beam supports the floor of a classroom in a school building. The beam spans 26 ft. and the tributary width is 16 ft.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

a. L_o  = 40 psf

b. L ≈ 30.80 psf

c. The uniformly distributed total load for the beam = 812.8 ft./lb

d. The alternate concentrated load is more critical to bending , shear and deflection

Explanation:

The given parameters of the beam the beam are;

The span of the beam = 26 ft.

The width of the tributary, b = 16 ft.

The dead load, D = 20 psf.

a. The basic floor live load is given as follows;

The uniform floor live load, = 40 psf

The floor area, A = The span × The width = 26 ft. × 16 ft. = 416 ft.²

Therefore, the uniform live load, L_o  = 40 psf

b. The reduced floor live load, L in psf. is given as follows;

L = L_o \times \left ( 0.25 + \dfrac{15}{\sqrt{k_{LL} \cdot A_T} } \right)

For the school, K_{LL} = 2

Therefore, we have;

L = 40 \times \left ( 0.25 + \dfrac{15}{\sqrt{2 \times 416} } \right) = 30.80126 \ psf

The reduced floor live load, L ≈ 30.80 psf

c. The uniformly distributed total load for the beam, W_d = b × W_{D + L} =

∴  W_d =  = 16 × (20 + 30.80) ≈ 812.8 ft./lb

The uniformly distributed total load for the beam, W_d = 812.8 ft./lb

d. For the uniformly distributed load, we have;

V_{max} = 812.8 × 26/2 = 10566.4 lbs

M_{max} =  812.8 × 26²/8 = 68,681.6 ft-lbs

v_{max} = 5×812.8×26⁴/348/EI = 4,836,329.333/EI

For the alternate concentrated load, we have;

P_L = 1000 lb

W_{D} = 20 × 16 = 320 lb/ft.

V_{max} = 1,000 + 320 × 26/2 = 5,160 lbs

M_{max} =  1,000 × 26/4 + 320 × 26²/8 = 33,540 ft-lbs

v_{max} = 1,000 × 26³/(48·EI) + 5×320×26⁴/348/EI = 2,467,205.74713/EI

Therefore, the loading more critical to bending , shear and deflection, is the alternate concentrated load
