8. Two 40 ft long wires made of differing materials are supported from the ceiling of a testing laboratory. Wire (1) is made of

material H and has a diameter of 3/8 in. Wire (2) is made of material K and has a diameter of 3/16 in. When a load of 225 lb is applied to its lower end, wire (1) stretches 0.10 in. When the same 225 lb load is applied to the lower end of wire (2), wire (2) stretches 0.25 in. Compare materials H and K. Which material has the greater modulus of elasticity? Which is the stiffer material?

Answer:

Material K has a modulus of elasticity E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material H has a modulus of elasticity E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

Material K has higher value of modulus of elasticity than material H

Material K is stiffer.

Explanation:

Wire 1 material H

Length=L = 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter= 3/8 in = 0.009525 m

Area= A= πr²,where r=0.009525/2 =0.004763

A=3.142*0.004763² =0.00007126 m²

Force, F= 225 lb= 225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.10 in = 0.00254

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E=1001.25*12.192/(0.004763*0.00254)

E= 1009027923.58 Pa

E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

For Wire 2 material K

Length=L= 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter = 3/16 in = 0.1875 in = 0.004763 m

Area= πr² = 3.142 * (0.004763/2)² = 0.00000567154 m²

Force, F= 225 lb= 225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.25 in =0.00635 m

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E= (1001.25*12.192)/(0.00000567154 * 0.00635 )

E=338955422575 Pa

E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material K has a greater modulus of elasticity

The material with higher value of E is stiffer than that with low value of E.The stiffer material is K.

A spacecraft at rest has moment of inertia of 100 kg-m^2 about an axis of interest. If a 1 newton thruster with a 1 meter moment

Kazeer [188]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to translational torque, angular torque and the kinematic equations of angular movement with which we will find the angular displacement of the system.

Translational torque can be defined as,

$\tau = Fd$

Here,

F = Force

d = Distance which the force is applied

$\tau = (1N)(1m)$

$\tau = 1N\cdot m$

At the same time the angular torque is defined as the product between the moment of inertia and the angular acceleration, so using the previous value of the found torque, and with the moment of inertia given by the statement, we would have that the angular acceleration is

$\tau = I\alpha$

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{1N\cdot m}{100kg\cdot m^2}$

$\alpha = 0.01rad/s^2$

Now the angular displacement is

$\theta = \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Here

$\omega_0$ = Initial angular velocity

t = time

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Angular displacement

Time is given as 1 minute, in seconds will be

$t = 1m = 60s$

There is not initial angular velocity, then

$\theta= \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Replacing,

$\theta= \frac{1}{2}(0.01)(60)^2$

$\theta = 18rad$

The question neglects the effect of gravitational force.

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 10MPa and 500 C and leaves at 10 kPa with a quality of 90%. Neglecting the changes in kinet

Amanda [17]

Answer:

flow ( m ) = 4.852 kg/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Inlet of Turbine

P_1 = 10 MPa

T_1 = 500 C

- Outlet of Turbine

P_2 = 10 KPa

x = 0.9

- Power output of Turbine W_out = 5 MW

Find:

Determine the mass ow rate required

Solution:

- Use steam Table A.4 to determine specific enthalpy for inlet conditions:

P_1 = 10 MPa

T_1 = 500 C ---------- > h_1 = 3375.1 KJ/kg

- Use steam Table A.6 to determine specific enthalpy for outlet conditions:

P_2 = 10 KPa -------------> h_f = 191.81 KJ/kg

x = 0.9 -------------> h_fg = 2392.1 KJ/kg

h_2 = h_f + x*h_fg

h_2 = 191.81 + 0.9*2392.1 = 2344.7 KJ/kg

- The work produced by the turbine W_out is given by first Law of thermodynamics:

W_out = flow(m) * ( h_1 - h_2 )

flow ( m ) = W_out / ( h_1 - h_2 )

- Plug in values:

flow ( m ) = 5*10^3 / ( 3375.1 - 2344.7 )

flow ( m ) = 4.852 kg/s

Answer:

According to many of the states' driving rules.

All vehicles of 3,000 pounds or more are required to have a brake system that makes them break as a response to the breaking of the vehicle's tow.

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is that vehicles of more than 3,000 pounds are extremely dangerous and difficult to control. Therefore, when the tow breaks the automatic brake system is required. Because they are too big to be controlled, and if they are left without a brake system to reduce their damage they can destroy entire houses or other cars if this mechanism is not implemented.
