Answer:

A. Shear stresses are maximum at the neutral axis and normal stresses are maximum furthest from the neutral axis.

Explanation:

Normal stress :

Normal stress is defined as the stress or the restoring force that occurs on the plane when an external axial load is applied on it. For a beam the normal stress is maximum at the point furthest from the neutral axis and is zero at the neutral axis of the beam.

Shear stress :

Shear stress is a stress which occurs when the force acts on the surface of the member in a parallel direction. It changes the shape of the member.  For a beam, the shear stress is maximum at the neutral axis.

One group of students uses different methods to conserve water as listed below.
Deffense [45]
The best answer is b) <span>Method 1 and Method 3

Method 2, which is part of every other options, does involve using extra water because the dishwasher will necessarily use extra water, even if it is full when you use it. 
On the other hand, fixing leaky faucets requires no extra water and the recycled water used to wash your car has already been used. </span>

The equation below is for potassium oxide.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.

An unusual lightning strike has a vertical portion with a current of −400 A downwards. The Earth's magnetic field at that locati
Xelga [282]

Answer:

0.3 N

Explanation:

i = 400 A

B = 30 x 10^-6 T

L = 25 m

Force due the current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field

F = B i L SinФ

where, Ф be the angle between length vector and magnetic field vector

F = 30 x 10^-6 x 400 x 25 = 0.3 N
