Answer:

The dimension of Length = L

The dimension of width = L

The dimension of Area = L²

Explanation:

A dimension is one of the physical properties that are regarded as fundamental measures of a physical quantity, such as mass, length and time.

L - length , W - width , A- Area

A= W × L (Formula for Area)

Given:

L= 4 + 3W ( length that is 4 more than 3 times its width)

Area = 480 inches

A= W × L

Sub. Given into Formula of Area

480= W (4 + 3W)

480= 4W + 3W²

3W² + 4W - 480= 0

a=3 b=4 c= -480

where W = unknown using the quadratic equation

W= -b ± √ (b² - 4ac) / 2a

W= -4 ± √ (4² - 4.3.-480)/ 2.3

W= -4 ± √ (16 + 5760)/ 6

W= -4 ± √ (5776)/ 6

W = (-4 ± 76)/6

W = (-4 + 76)/6 or (-4-76)/6

W = 72/6 or -80/6

W = 12 or - 13.6

We choose w=12 inches

Sub. W into L

L= 4 + 3W

L= 4 + 3×12

L= 40 inches

Area= W × L

= 40 inches × 12 inches

Area = 480 inches ²

Dimension wise

The dimension of Length = L

The dimension of width = L

The dimension of Area = L²

Answer:

180 x 60 inches

Width = 60 inches

Length = 180 inches

Explanation:

Given

Let L = Length

W = Width

P = Perimeter

Length = 3 * Width

L = 3W

Perimeter of Brass = 480 inches

P = 480

Perimeter is given as 2(L + W);

So, 2 (L + W) = 480

L + W = 480/2

L + W = 240

Substitute 3W for L; so,

3W + W = 240

4W = 240

W = 240/4

W = 60 inches

L = 3W

L = 3 * 60

L = 180 inches

A bar having a length of 5 in. and cross-sectional area of 0. 7 in.2 is subjected to an axial force of 8000 lb. If the bar stret
andrew11 [14]

The modulus of elasticity is 28.6 X 10³ ksi

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Length, l = 5in

Force, P = 8000lb

Area, A = 0.7in²

δ = 0.002in

Modulus of elasticity, E = ?

We know,

Modulus of elasticity, E = σ / ε

Where,

σ is normal stress

ε is normal strain

Normal stress can be calculated as:

σ = P/A

Where,

P is the force applied

A is the area of cross-section

By plugging in the values, we get

σ = \frac{8000 X 10^-^3}{0.7}

σ = 11.43ksi

To calculate the normal strain we use the formula,

ε = δ / L

By plugging in the values we get,

ε = \frac{0.002}{5}

ε = 0.0004 in/in

Therefore, modulus of elasticity would be:

E = \frac{11.43}{0.004} \\\\E = 28.6 X 10^3 ksi

Thus, modulus of elasticity is 28.6 X 10³ ksi

A small pad subjected to a shearing force is deformed at the top of the pad 0.08 in. The height of the pad is 1.38 in. What is t
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

Explanation:

Shear strain is the ratio of change in dimension along the shearing load direction to the height of the plate under application of shear load. Width of the plate remains same. Length of the plate slides under shear load.

Step1

Given:

Height of the pad is 1.38 in.

Deformation at the top of the pad is 0.08 in.

Calculation:

Step2

Shear strain is calculated as follows:

tan\phi=\frac{\bigtriangleup l}{h}

tan\phi=\frac{0.08}{1.38}

tan\phi= 0.05797

For small angle of \phi, tan\phi can take as\phi.

\phi = 0.05797 rad.

Thus, the shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

I ran across this symbol in some Electrical wiring documents and I am unaware of what this means. Any help?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Opened Push-button Switch (i.e. a PTM Switch)

Explanation:

Tha's just another symbol for a switch, but this one specifies that the switch is a push-button type of switch.

Since it's not touching and completing the line, the state of the switch is initially open.
