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

Engineering

GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago

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

Write torsion equation and explain the importance of each components.<br>​
Elanso [62]
The equations are based on the following assumptions

1) The bar is straight and of uniform section
2) The material of the bar is has uniform properties.
3) The only loading is the applied torque which is applied normal to the axis of the bar.
4) The bar is stressed within its elastic limit.

Nomenclature

T = torque (Nm)
l = length of bar (m)
J = Polar moment of inertia.(Circular Sections) ( m^4)
J' = Polar moment of inertia.(Non circluar sections) ( m^4 )
K = Factor replacing J for non-circular sections.( m^4)
r = radial distance of point from center of section (m)
ro = radius of section OD (m)
τ = shear stress (N/m^2)
G Modulus of rigidity (N/m^2)
θ = angle of twist (radians)

What are the controlling LRFD load combinations for dead and floor live load?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

1) 1.4(D + F)

2) 1.2(D + F + T) + 1.6(L + H) + 0.5(Lr or S or R)

3) 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S or R) + ((0.5 or 1.0)*L or 0.8W)

4) 1.2D + 1.6W + (0.5 or 1.0)*L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)

5) 1.2D + 1.0E + (0.5 or 1.0)*L + 0.2S

6) 0.9D + 1.6W + 1.6H

7) 0.9D + 1.0E + 1.6H

Explanation:

Load and Resistance Factor Design

there are 7 basic load combination of LRFD that is

1) 1.4(D + F)

2) 1.2(D + F + T) + 1.6(L + H) + 0.5(Lr or S or R)

3) 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S or R) + ((0.5 or 1.0)*L or 0.8W)

4) 1.2D + 1.6W + (0.5 or 1.0)*L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)

5) 1.2D + 1.0E + (0.5 or 1.0)*L + 0.2S

6) 0.9D + 1.6W + 1.6H

7) 0.9D + 1.0E + 1.6H

and

here load factor for L given ( * ) mean it is  permitted = 0.5 for occupancies when live load is less than or equal to 100 psf

here

D is dead load and L is live load

E is earth quake load and S is snow load

W is wind load and R is rain load

Lr is roof live load

Differences between acidic and basic Bessemer process​
dybincka [34]

Answer:

In the acid processes, deoxidation can take place in the furnaces, leaving a reasonable time for the inclusions to rise into the sla*g and so be removed before casting. Whereas in the basic furnaces, deoxidation is rarely carried out in the presence of the sla*g, otherwise phosphorus would return to the metal.
