Answer:

t = 0.196 s

Explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

calculate

          t = 2/102

          t = 0.196 s

A block of 250-mm length and 48 × 40-mm cross section is to support a centric compressive load P. The material to be used is a b
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

153.6 kN

Explanation:

The elastic constant k of the block is

k = E * A/l

k = 95*10^9 * 0.048*0.04/0.25 = 729.6 MN/m

0.12% of the original length is:

0.0012 * 0.25 m = 0.0003  m

Hooke's law:

F = x * k

Where x is the change in length

F = 0.0003 * 729.6*10^6 = 218.88 kN (maximum force admissible by deformation)

The compressive load will generate a stress of

σ = F / A

F = σ * A

F = 80*10^6 * 0.048 * 0.04 = 153.6 kN

The smallest admisible load is 153.6 kN
