How would you relate the passage below to what happened with engineering during the Industrial Revolution?

When do design engineers start on the design improvement step?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

as soon as there is a design to improve

Explanation:

As a design engineer, I started on the "design improvement" step as soon as I had an initial conceptual design.

__

Then, I started that step again when my boss told me, "make it better."

_____

The more interesting question is, "when do you stop the design improvement step?" (Judging by the constant barrage of software updates, that answer is, "never.")

The domain of discourse is the members of a chess club. The predicate B(x, y) means that person x has beaten person y at some po

satela [25.4K]

Answer:A. No one has ever beat Nancy.

Explanation:

The dormain of discourse in a simple language is the set of entities upon which our discussions are based when discussing about something.

The dormain of discourse is also known simply as universe, can also be said to be a set of entities o

upon which certain variables of interest in some formal treatment may range.

The dormain of discourse is generally attributed to Augustus De Morgan, it was also extensively used by George Boole in his Laws of Thought.

THE LOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE THE QUESTION IS THAT NO ONE HAS EVER BEAT NANCY.

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa √m (50 ksi √in.). If, during

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

0.024 m = 24.07 mm

Explanation:

1) Notation

$\sigma_c$ = tensile stress = 200 Mpa

$K$ = plane strain fracture toughness= 55 Mpa $\sqrt{m}$

$\lambda$ = length of a surface crack (Variable of interest)

2) Definition and Formulas

The Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling force. It is customarily measured in units (F/A), like the pressure. Is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of materials and structural engineering.

By definition we have the following formula for the tensile stress:

$\sigma_c=\frac{K}{Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}}$ (1)

We are interested on the minimum length of a surface that will lead to a fracture, so we need to solve for $\lambda$

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by $Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}$

$\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}=K$ (2)

Sequaring both sides of equation (2):

$(\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda})^2=(K)^2$

$\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi\lambda=K^2$ (3)

Dividing both sides by $\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi$ we got:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{K}{Y\sigma_c}]^2$ (4)

Replacing the values into equation (4) we got:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{55 Mpa\sqrt{m}}{1.0(200Mpa)}]^2 =0.02407m$

3) Final solution

So the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture, would be 24.07 mm or more.

A person is planning a bungee jump from a 40 meter high bridge. Under the bridge is a river with crocodiles, so the person does

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

a. l = 19.7m, b. 18.55m, c. Impact Force = 3889.84 N

Explanation:

The total energy of the system when the person is at top of the bridge is

Potential energy = mgh, Kinetic energy = 0

The total energy of the system when the person reaches just above the surface

Potential energy = 0, Kinetic energy = 0, Spring energy = ½ K X2, where k is the spring constant and X is the deflection

Applying conservation of energy

mgh = 0 + 0 + ½ K X²

80 x 9.81 x 40 = ½ (3600/l) X²

31392 = ½ (3600/l) X²

We can also conclude that

l+ X + 1.75 = 40

l + X = 38.25

a. Substitute the value of x from above into the energy conversion expression

31392 = ½ (3600/l)(38.25 - l)²

31392 x 2/3600 = (38.25 + l² – 2l(38.25))/l

17.44l = l2 – 76.5l + 38.25²

l² – 76.5l – 17.44l +1463.0625 = 0

Solving for l we get

L = 19.7

Hence, length of the rope is 19.7m

b. The deflection is calculated by using the relation between l and X

L + X = 38.25

X = 38.25 – 19.7 = 18.55m

c. The impact force is calculated using the impact force formula which relates the impact force with the deflection

F = KX

F = (3600/l) . X

F = (3600/19.7) . (18.55) = 3889.84 N

Thus, the impact force is 3889.84 N
