If a lever operates at a mechanical disadvantage, it means that the ________.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': Load is far from fulcrum and the effort is applied near the fulcrum

Explanation:

A lever works on the principle of balancing of torques. The torque about the fulcrum by the load should be equal to the torque by the applied effort. Since we know that the torque is proportional to both the force and the distance it is applied from the distance from the axis of rotation. A lever is used when we need to lift a heavy load by utilizing this effect of the lever arm.

A mechanical disadvantage occurs when we are not able to lift the weight easily due to the fact we apply effort near the fulcrum.

Why do we study National studies

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

It’s so we can then understand other cultures and other ways that people do things or we can also be prepared for what a country that we have not been to yet is going to relatively be like. This can also help with vacation planning.

Explanation:

it can also help us understand different people from different cultures.

A rectangular steel bar, with 8" x 0.75" cross-sectional dimensions, has equal and opposite moments applied to its ends.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Part a: The yield moment is 400 k.in.

Part b: The strain is $8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

Part c: The plastic moment is 600 ksi.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per bending equation

$\frac{M}{I}=\frac{F}{y}$

Here

M is the moment which is to be calculated
I is the moment of inertia given as

$I=\frac{bd^3}{12}$

Here

b is the breath given as 0.75"
d is the depth which is given as 8"

$I=\frac{bd^3}{12}\\I=\frac{0.75\times 8^3}{12}\\I=32 in^4$

y is given as

$y=\frac{d}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4"\\$

Force is 50 ksi

$\frac{M_y}{I}=\frac{F_y}{y}\\M_y=\frac{F_y}{y}{I}\\M_y=\frac{50}{4}{32}\\M_y=400 k. in$

The yield moment is 400 k.in.

Part b:

The strain is given as

$Strain=\frac{Stress}{Elastic Modulus}$

The stress at the station 2" down from the top is estimated by ratio of triangles as

$F_{2"}=\frac{F_y}{y}\times 2"\\F_{2"}=\frac{50 ksi}{4"}\times 2"\\F_{2"}=25 ksi$

Now the steel has the elastic modulus of E=29000 ksi

$Strain=\frac{Stress}{Elastic Modulus}\\Strain=\frac{F_{2"}}{E}\\Strain=\frac{25}{29000}\\Strain=8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

So the strain is $8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

Part c:

For a rectangular shape the shape factor is given as 1.5.

Now the plastic moment is given as

$shape\, factor=\frac{Plastic\, Moment}{Yield\, Moment}\\{Plastic\, Moment}=shape\, factor\times {Yield\, Moment}\\{Plastic\, Moment}=1.5\times400 ksi\\{Plastic\, Moment}=600 ksi$

The plastic moment is 600 ksi.
