A hawser is wrapped two full turns around a bollard. By exerting an 80-lb force on the free end of the hawser, a dockworker can

resist a force of 5000 lb on the other end of the hawser. Determine (a) the coefficient of static friction between the hawser and the bollard, (b) the number of times the hawser should be wrapped around the bollard if a 20,000-lb force is to be resisted by the same 80-lb force

Answer:

μ=0.329, 2.671 turns.

Explanation:

(a)   ln(T2/T1)=μβ         β=angle of contact in radians

take T2 as greater tension value and T1 smaller, otherwise the friction would be opposite.

T2=5000 lb and T1=80 lb

we have two full turns which makes total angle of contact=4π  radians

μ=ln(T2/T1)/β=(ln(5000/80))/4π  

μ=0.329

(b) using the same relation as above we will now compute the angle of contact.

take greater tension as T2 and smaller as T1.

T2=20000 lb     T1=80 lb   μ=0.329

β=ln(20000/80)/0.329=16.7825 radians

divide the angle of contact by 2π to obtain number of turns.

16.7825/2π =2.671 turns

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

%Reduction in area = 73.41%

%Reduction in elongation = 42.20%

Explanation:

Given

Original diameter = 12.8 mm

Gauge length = 50.80mm

Diameter at the point of fracture = 6.60 mm (0.260 in.)

Fractured gauge length = 72.14 mm.

%Reduction in Area is given as:

((do/2)² - (d1/2)²)/(do/2)²

Calculating percent reduction in area

do = 12.8mm, d1 = 6.6mm

So,

%RA = ((12.8/2)² - 6.6/2)²)/(12.8/2)²

%RA = 0.734130859375

%RA = 73.41%

Calculating percent reduction in elongation

%Reduction in elongation is given as:

((do) - (d1))/(d1)

do = 72.14mm, d1 = 50.80mm

So,

%RA = ((72.24) - (50.80))/(50.80)

%RA = 0.422047244094488

%RA = 42.20%

A company buys a machine for $12,000, which it agrees to pay for in five equal annual payments, beginning one year after the dat
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

$7,778.35

Explanation:

At year 3, the final payment of the remaining balance is equal to the present worth P of the last three payments.

First, calculate the uniform payments A:

A = 12000(A/P, 4%, 5)

= 12000(0.2246) = 2695.2  (from the calculator)

Then take the last three payments as its own cash flow.

To calculate the new P:

P = 2695.2 + 2695.2(P/A, 4%, 2) = 2695.2 + 2695.2(1.886) = 7778.35

Therefore, the final payment is $7,778.35
