Answer:

The value of Modulus of elasticity E = 85.33 × 10^{6} \frac{lbm}{in^{2} }

Beam deflection is = 0.15 in

Explanation:

Given data

width = 5 in

Length = 60 in

Mass of the person = 125 lb

Load = 125 × 32 = 4000\frac{ft lbm}{s^{2} }

We know that moment of inertia is given as

I = \frac{bt^{3} }{12}

I = \frac{5 (1.5^{3} )}{12}

I = 1.40625 in^{4}

Deflection = 0.15 in

We know that deflection of the beam in this case is given as

Δ = \frac{PL^{3} }{48EI}

0.15 = \frac{4000(60)^{3} }{48 E (1.40625)}

E = 85.33 × 10^{6} \frac{lbm}{in^{2} }

This is the value of Modulus of elasticity.

Beam deflection is = 0.15 in

eimsori [14]

Answer:

a)  m=0.17kg/s

b)  Ma=0.89

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure P=60kPa

Diameter d=3cm

Generally at sea level

T_0=288k\\\\\rho_0=1.225kg/m^3\\\\P_0=101350Pa\\\\r=1.4

Generally the Power series equation for Mach number is mathematically given by

\frac{p_0}{p}=(1+\frac{r-1}{2}Ma^2)^{\frac{r}{r-1}}

\frac{101350}{60*10^3}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}Ma^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

Ma=0.89

Therefore

Mass flow rate

\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}(0.89)^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

\frac{1.225}{\rho}=(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}(0.89)^2)^{\frac{1.4}{1.4-1}}

\rho=0.848kg/m^3

Generally the equation for Velocity at throat is mathematically given by

V=Ma(r*T_0\sqrt{T_e})

Where

T_e=\frac{P_e}{R\rho}\\\\T_e=\frac{60*10^6}{288*0.842\rho}

T_e=248

Therefore

V=0.89(1.4*288\sqrt{248})\\\\V=284

Generally the equation for Mass flow rate is mathematically given by

m=\rho*A*V

m=0.84*\frac{\pi}{4}*3*10^{-2}*284

m=0.17kg/s

With reference to the NSPE Code of Ethics, which one of the following statements is true regarding the ethical obligations of th
34kurt

Answer: c. The VW engineers involved were ethically obligated to hold paramount the health, welfare and safety of the public even if their supervisors directed them to implement software and hardware that enabled cheating on the emissions testing software.

Explanation: The National Society of professional Engineers, NSPE define the code of ethics which must guide engineers in their duty. These codes act as principles of personal conduct, towards the public and their employers.  

One of the areas covered by these codes is overriding importance of the safety and health of the public to any other factor. In addition, engineers are to avoid deception and maintain the reputation of their profession. These cannot be sacrificed for the financial gain of their employers or explained away by saying they are following the direction of their employers. While they have certain responsibilities to their employers, the health welfare and safety of the public is more important.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

A centimeter is a hundredth of a meter. This means 1/100 ,1 cm = 0.01 m

A kilo is 1000 grams.

The first answer is false because a hundredth isnot written well.

The second statement is false because the comparison given is of different units of measure. For distance is meters where as for weight is kilograms.
