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:



For small angle of
,
can take as
.

Thus, the shear strain is 0.05797 rad.
Answer:
a) temperature: random error
b) parallax: systematic error
c) using incorrect value: systematic error
Explanation:
Systematic errors are associated with faulty calibration or reading of the equipments used and they could be avoided refining your method.
Answer:
2.8
Explanation:
The ideal mechanical advantage of the pulley IMA = D'/D where D' = diameter of output pulley = 7 inches and D = diameter of input pulley = 2.5 inches
So, IMA = D'/D
= 7/2.5
= 2.8
So, the ideal mechanical advantage of the pulley IMA = 2.8
