Suppose that you and two classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster. One classmate says that each summit must be l

ower than the preceding one. Your other classmate says this is nonsense, for as long as the first one is the highest, it doesn’t matter what height the others are. What do you say

Answer:

The second classmate is right.

Explanation:

The height of first summit provides the potential energy it will use to climb the following ones.

Ep = m * g * h

Where

m: mass

g: acceleration of gravity

h: height

When the train goes downwards the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (manifested as speed) and when it climbs it consumes its kinetical energy. As long as no summit is taller than the first the train should have enough energy to climb them.

Also it must be noted that friction also consumes energy, and if the track is too lomg all the energy might be consumed by it.

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water. If the base is in the surface of water,
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Hydrostatic force = 41168 N

Explanation:

Complete question

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water  so that the top is 4 ft below the surface. If the base is in the surface of water, find the force against onr side of the plate. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.)

Let "x" be the side length submerged in water.

Then

w(x)/base = (4+3-x)/altitude

w(x)/5 = (4+3-x)/3

w(x) = 5* (7-x)/3

Hydrostatic force = 62.5 integration of  x * 4 * (10-x)/3 with limits from 4 to 7

HF = integration of 40x - 4x^2/3

HF = 20x^2 - 4x^3/9 with limit 4 to 7

HF = (20*7^2 - 4*7^(3/9))- (20*4^2 - 4*4^(3/9))

HF = 658.69 N *62.5 = 41168 N

A small lake with volume of 160,000 m^3 receives agricultural drainage waters that contain 150 mg / L total dissolved solids (TD
Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that : -

The desirable limit is 500 mg / l , but

allowable upto 2000 mg / l.

The take volume is V = 160.000 m3

V = 160 , 000 x 103 l

The crainage gives 150 mg / l and lake has initialy 100 mg / l

Code of tpr frpm drawn = 150 x 60, 000 x 1000

Ci = 9000 kg / gr

Cl = 100 x 160,000 x 1000

Cl = 16, 000 kg

Since allowable limit = 2000 mg / l

Cn = ( 2000 x 160, 00 x 1000 )

= 320, 000 kg

so, each year the rate increases, by 9000 kg / yr

Read level = ( 320, 000 - 16,000 )

Li = 304, 000 kg

Tr=<u>304,000</u>

      900

A tensile test was operated to test some important mechanical properties. The specimen has a gage length = 1.8 in and diameter =
oee [108]

Answer:

a) 60000 psi

b) 1.11*10^6 psi

c) 112000 psi

d) 30.5%

e) 30%

Explanation:

The yield strength is the load applied when yielding behind divided by the section.

yield strength = Fyield / A

A = π/4 * D^2

A = 0.5 in^2

ys = Fy * A

y2 = 30000 * 0.5 = 60000 psi

The modulus of elasticity (E) is a material property that is related to the object property of stiffness (k).

k = E * L0 / A

And the stiffness is related to change of length:

Δx = F / k

Then:

Δx = F * A / (E * L0)

E = F * A / (Δx * L0)

When yielding began (approximately the end of the proportional peroid) the force was of 30000 lb and the change of length was

Δx = L - L0 = 1.8075 - 1.8 = 0.0075

Then:

E = 30000 * 0.5 / (0.0075 * 1.8) = 1.11*10^6 psi

Tensile strength is the strees at which the material breaks.

The maximum load was 56050 lb, so:

ts = 56050 / 0.5 = 112000 psi

The percent elongation is calculated as:

e = 100 * (L / L0)

e = 100 * (2.35 / 1.8 - 1) = 30.5 %

If it necked with and area of 0.35 in^2 the precent reduction in area was:

100 * (1 - A / A0)

100 * (1 - 0.35 / 0.5) = 30%
