a car travels from station A to B at 30kmph during its return trip A it travels 30 km pH for the first half distance and it 70 k

8_murik_8 [283]

Explanation:

If you cannot visualize it, just assume that the distance from station A to B is 420km. Each half is 210km.

When the car travels from A to B, it takes 420/30 = 14 hours.

When the car travels from B to the halfway point, it takes 210/30 = 7 hours.

When the car travels from the halfway point to A, it takes 210/70 = 3 hours.

Total time taken = 14 + 7 + 3 = 24 hours.

Total distance = 420km * 2 = 840km.

Hence, the average speed of the car is 840/24 = 35km/h.

Concrete colums are constructed with reinforcing steel in them to make them stronger and more ductile. The reinforcing bars are

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$21678.47223\ lbf-in^2$

$383.1109\ lbf-in^2$

Explanation:

d = Diameter of column = 0.5 inch

$A_c$ = Area of concrete = $119.4\ in^2$

The strain in the system is conserved

$\dfrac{F_sL}{A_sE_s}=\dfrac{F_cL}{A_cE_c}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_sA_cE_c}{A_sE_s}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_s \times 119.4\times 4.1\times 10^6}{8\times \dfrac{\pi \dfrac{1}{2^2}}{4}\times 29\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow F_c=10.74658F_s$

Now

$F_c+F_s=50000\\\Rightarrow 10.74658F_s+F_s=50000\\\Rightarrow F_s=\dfrac{50000}{11.74658}\\\Rightarrow F_s=4256.55807\ lbf$

$F_c=10.74658F_s\\\Rightarrow F_c=10.74658\times 4256.55807\\\Rightarrow F_c=45743.44182\ lbf$

Stress is given by

$\sigma_s=\dfrac{4256.55807}{\pi \dfrac{1}{2^2}}{4}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_s=21678.47223\ lbf-in^2$

The stress in the steel is $21678.47223\ lbf-in^2$

$\sigma_c=\dfrac{45743.44182}{119.4}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_s=383.1109\ lbf-in^2$

The stress in the steel is $383.1109\ lbf-in^2$

Citrus2011 [14]

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.
