Why is the face of the claw on a claw hammer usually a smooth curve? Why isn't it straight or some other shape?

Answer:

The face of the claw on the claw hammer is usually a smooth curve so as to improve the ease with which nails are removed when removing nails because as the nail held between the V shaped split claw is being pulled out from the wood, it slides more and more towards cheek, reducing the distance of the nail from the cheek which is the fulcrum, thereby increasing the mechanical advantage because the location of the hand on the grip remains unchanged

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a) P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) Q = 5.4 Kips

Explanation:

GIven

W = 18 Kips

μ₁ = 0.30

μ₂ = 0.60

a) P = ?

We get F₁ and F₂ as follows:

F₁ = μ₁*W = 0.30*18 Kips = 5.4 Kips

F₂ = μ₂*Nef = 0.6*Nef

Then, we apply

∑Fy = 0 (+↑)

Nef*Cos 12º - F₂*Sin 12º = W

⇒ Nef*Cos 12º - (0.6*Nef)*Sin 12º = 18

⇒ Nef = 21.09 Kips

Wedge moves if

P ≥ F₁ + F₂*Cos 12º + Nef*Sin 12º

⇒ P ≥ 5.4 Kips + 0.6*21.09 Kips*Cos 12º + 21.09 Kips*Sin 12º

⇒ P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) For the static equilibrium of base plate

Q = F₁ = 5.4 Kips

We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.

In the fully developed region of flow in a circular pipe, does the velocity profile change in the flow direction?

taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>No, the velocity profile does not change in the flow direction.</em>

Explanation:

In a fluid flow in a circular pipe, the boundary layer thickness increases in the direction of flow, until it reaches the center of the pipe, and fill the whole pipe. If the density, and other properties of the fluid does not change either by heating or cooling of the pipe, <em>then the velocity profile downstream becomes fully developed, and constant, and does not change in the direction of flow.</em>

Answer:

Out of the four options provided

option A. actuator

is correct

Explanation:

An actuator is the only device out of the four mentioned devices that provides power and ensures the motion in it in order to manipulate the movement of the moving parts of the damper or a valve used whereas others like ratio regulator are used to regulate air or gas ratio and none mof the 3 remaining options serves the purpose
