A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 57 wt% B-43 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for b

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

composition of alpha phase is 27% B

Explanation:

given data

mass fractions = 0.5 for both

composition = 57 wt% B-43 wt% A

composition = 87 wt% B-13 wt% A

solution

as by total composition Co = 57 and by beta phase composition Cβ = 87

we use here lever rule that is

Wα = Wβ ...............1

Wα = Wβ = 0.5

now we take here left side of equation

we will get

$\frac{C_\beta - Co}{C_\beta - Ca}$ = 0.5

$\frac{87 - 57}{87 - Ca}$ = 0.5

solve it we get

Ca = 27

so composition of alpha phase is 27% B

An excavation is at risk for cave-in and water accumulation because of the excess soil that has accumulated. What type of excava

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Among the different types of excavation protection system, as a way of preventing accidents against cave-ins, the sloping involves cutting back the trench wall at an angle inclined away from the excavation. Shoring requires installing aluminum hydraulic or other types of supports to prevent soil movement and cave-ins. Shielding protects workers by using trench boxes or other types of supports to prevent soil cave-ins (OSHA). In addition, the regulations do not allow employees to work on excavations where there is an accumulation of water. If this occurs, water on the site must be constantly removed by suitable equipment preventing water from accumulating. The entry of surface water into the excavations must also be prevented by means of diversion ditches, dam, or other suitable means.

Koch traded Machine 1 for Machine 2 when the fair market value of both machines was $60,000. Koch originally purchased Machine 1

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Koch's adjusted basis in machine 2 after the exchange is $60,000

Explanation:

given data

fair market value = $60,000

originally purchased Machine 1 = $76,900

Machine 1 adjusted basis = $40,950

Machine 2 seller purchase = $64,050

Machine 2 adjusted basis = $55,950

solution

As he exchanged machine for another at $60,000

and this exchanged in fair market

so adjusted basis = $50,000

Adjusted basis is the price of the item that affects the factors that are considered price. These factors usually include taxes, depreciation value, and other costs of acquiring and maintaining a given item. Adjusted basis is important so the right amount to sell

Adjusted basis increases when a person deducts expenses from factor taxes and operating statements

so Koch's adjusted basis in machine 2 after the exchange is $60,000

Why do we care about a material's ability to resist torsional deformation?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(A) Because the angle of twist of a material is often used to predict its shear toughness

Explanation:

In engineering, torsion is the solicitation that occurs when a moment is applied on the longitudinal axis of a construction element or mechanical prism, such as axes or, in general, elements where one dimension predominates over the other two, although it is possible to find it in diverse situations.

The torsion is characterized geometrically because any curve parallel to the axis of the piece is no longer contained in the plane initially formed by the two curves. Instead, a curve parallel to the axis is twisted around it.

The general study of torsion is complicated because under that type of solicitation the cross section of a piece in general is characterized by two phenomena:

1- Tangential tensions appear parallel to the cross section.

2- When the previous tensions are not properly distributed, which always happens unless the section has circular symmetry, sectional warps appear that make the deformed cross sections not flat.
