Answer:

Tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step1

Under-inflation is the process of tire failure under low pressure. This contributes the wear on tire.

Step2

On breaking, kinetic energy changes to heat energy because of rubbing of tire. So, rubbing action increases the wear on the tire.

Step3

Acceleration on the vehicle increases the rubbing action as well as the wear and tear on the tire. So, acceleration is an also a major cause of tire wear.

Step4

Tire rotation has least amount of wear and tear due to no rubbing action. It has less amount surface contact with the surface in rotation.

Thus, tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a) 180 m³/s

b) 213.4 kg/s

Explanation:

$A_1$ = 1 m²

$P_1$ = 100 kPa

$V_1$ = 180 m/s

Flow rate

$Q=A_1V_1\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 180\\\Rightarrow Q=180\ m^3/s$

Volumetric flow rate = 180 m³/s

Mass flow rate

$\dot{m}=\rho Q\\\Rightarrow \dot m=\frac{P_1}{RT} Q\\\Rightarrow \dot m=\frac{100000}{287\times 293.15}\times 180\\\Rightarrow \dotm=213.94\ kg/s$

Mass flow rate = 213.4 kg/s

Answer:

hoop stress

all this could led to the failure of the garden hose and the tear along the length

Explanation:

For the flow of water to occur in any equipment, water has to flow from a high pressure to a low pressure. considering the pipe, water is flowing at a constant pressure of 30 psi inside the pipe which is assumed to be higher than the allowable operating pressure of the pipe. but the greatest change in pressure will occur at the end of the hose because at that point the water is trying to leave the hose into the atmosphere, therefore the great change in pressure along the length of the hose closest to the end of the hose will cause a tear there. also the other factors that might lead to the failure of the garden hose includes :

hoop stress ( which acts along the circumference of the pipe):
