Various factors to be considered in deciding the factor of safety?

Engineering

Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
4 0

Answer with Explanation:

There are various factors that needed to be taken into account while deciding the factor of safety some of which are summarized below as:

1) Importance of the structure: When we design any structure different structures have different importance in our society. Take an example of hospital, in case a natural disaster struck's a place the hospital should be the designed to withstand the disaster as it's role in the crisis management following a disaster is well understood. Thus while designing it we need it to have a higher factor of safety against failure when compared to a local building.

2) Errors involved in estimation of strength of materials: when we design any component of any machine or a structure we need to have an exact idea of the behavior of the material and know the value of the strength of the material. But many materials that we use in structure such as concrete in buildings have a very complex behavior and we cannot estimate the strength of the concrete absolutely, thus we tend to decrease the strength of the concrete more if errors involved in the estimation of strength are more to give much safety to the structure.

3) Variability of the loads that may act on the structure: If the loads that act on the structure are highly variable such as earthquake loads amd dynamic loads then we tend to increase the factor of safety while estimating the loads on the structure while designing it.

4) Economic consideration: If our project has abundant funds then we can choose a higher factor of safety while designing the project.

How can any student outside apply for studying engineering at Cambridge University​
telo118 [61]
Admission to the Engineering course at Cambridge is highly competitive, both in terms of the numbers and quality of applicants. In considering applicants, Colleges look for evidence both of academic ability and of motivation towards Engineering. There are no absolute standards required of A Level achievement, but it should be noted that the average entrant to the Department has three A* grades. You need to get top marks in Maths and Physics.All Colleges strongly prefer applicants for Engineering to be taking a third subject that is relevant to Engineering.
Hope that helps and good luck if you are applying. Can you please mark this as brainliest and press the thank you button and if you have any further questions please let me know!!

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

T=151 K, U=-1.848*10^6J

Explanation:

The given process occurs when the pressure is constant. Given gas follows the Ideal Gas Law:

 pV=nRT

For the given scenario, we operate with the amount of the gas- n- calculated in moles. To find n, we use molar mass: M=102 g/mol.  

Using the given mass m, molar mass M, we can get the following equation:  

 pV=mRT/M

To calculate change in the internal energy, we need to know initial and final temperatures. We can calculate both temperatures as:

T=pVM/(Rm); so initial T=302.61K and final T=151.289K

 

Now we can calculate change of U:

U=3/2 mRT/M using T- difference in temperatures

 U=-1.848*10^6 J

Note, that the energy was taken away from the system.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Technician A is wrong

Technician B is right

Explanation:

voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the starter ground circuit is not within specifications. Voltage drop should be within the range of 0.2 V to 0.6 V but not more than that.

A spun bearing can seize itself around the crankshaft journal causing it not to move. As the car ignition system is turned on, the stater may draw high current in order to counter this seizure.
