The A-36 steel pipe has a 6061-T6 aluminum core. It issubjected to a tensile force of 200 kN. Determine the averagenormal stress

sasho [114]

Answer:

In the steel: 815 kPa

In the aluminum: 270 kPa

Explanation:

The steel pipe will have a section of:

A1 = π/4 * (D^2 - d^2)

A1 = π/4 * (0.8^2 - 0.7^2) = 0.1178 m^2

The aluminum core:

A2 = π/4 * d^2

A2 = π/4 * 0.7^2 = 0.3848 m^2

The parts will have a certain stiffness:

k = E * A/l

We don't know their length, so we can consider this as stiffness per unit of length

k = E * A

For the steel pipe:

E = 210 GPa (for steel)

k1 = 210*10^9 * 0.1178 = 2.47*10^10 N

For the aluminum:

E = 70 GPa

k2 = 70*10^9 * 0.3848 = 2.69*10^10 N

Hooke's law:

Δd = f / k

Since we are using stiffness per unit of length we use stretching per unit of length:

ε = f / k

When the force is distributed between both materials will stretch the same length:

f = f1 + f2

f1 / k1 = f2/ k2

Replacing:

f1 = f - f2

(f - f2) / k1 = f2 / k2

f/k1 - f2/k1 = f2/k2

f/k1 = f2 * (1/k2 + 1/k1)

f2 = (f/k1) / (1/k2 + 1/k1)

f2 = (200000/2.47*10^10) / (1/2.69*10^10 + 1/2.47*10^10) = 104000 N = 104 KN

f1 = 200 - 104 = 96 kN

Then we calculate the stresses:

σ1 = f1/A1 = 96000 / 0.1178 = 815000 Pa = 815 kPa

σ2 = f2/A2 = 104000 / 0.3848 = 270000 Pa = 270 kPa

what are three things that we would need and unlimiated amount of for all of us to obtain everything that we want?

Elanso [62]

Unlimited wants is an economic term that refers to humans’ insatiable appetite for things. We never get enough because there is always something else that we need or want. The term ‘unlimited wants’ is the side of human nature that wants an infinite number of things. However, the resources we have available to get these wants are limited.

There are two halves of scarcity that have plagued us ever since we first set foot on this Earth:

Limited resources.
Unlimited wants.
The Economics of Seinfeld says the following regarding the term:

“Unlimited wants essentially mean that people never get enough, that there is always something else that they would like to have.”

“When combined with limited resources, unlimited wants result in the fundamental problem of scarcity.”

Unlimited wants – limited resources

What we want and need has no limit, i.e., it is infinite. However, what we can afford is finite, i.e., it has a limit. This is a basic condition of human existence.

We are never completely satisfied with everything we consume. We consume a variety of goods and services, but they are never enough.

In other words, there is always something else that I, you, or anybody else would want or need.

The term applies to all socioeconomic groups. Low-income groups have limited resources, and their wants always exceed those resources. However, the same happens with middle-income and upper-income groups. They never feel they have enough.

The reason is a very simple one. Every income group’s resources are finite. However, unlimited want is a feature of every human.

Put simply; our wants and needs are infinite, but our wealth is not.

The economic problem – unlimited wants

‘The economic problem‘ is a term that economists use. It states that the finite resources of an economy are not enough to satisfy all our wants and needs. We also call it ‘the central economic problem‘ or ‘the basic economic problem.’

The main question we ask when considering ‘the economic problem’ is: “How do we satisfy unlimited wants with limited resources?”

As we cannot produce everything, we have to prioritize. We must decide what to produce, how to produce it, and how much to produce. We must also determine for whom to produce.

Human wants are constant and infinite, but the resources to satisfy them are finite. The resources cannot exceed the amount of human and natural resources available.

We produce things that we know people want, as long as we have the resources to make them. How strong or weak demand is determines how much we charge for those things. It also determines how much we produce (supply).

In other words, markets fores, i.e., the forces of supply and demand, in a free market economy, determine prices.

Wants vs. needs

Needs are things without which we cannot survive. Wants are things we desire. However, we can survive without those wants.

Food, water, and housing, for example, are needs. Clothing is also a need. Without food or water, we would die. We would probably die too without housing. In cold countries, we would not survive without clothing.

A nice car, smartphone, and vacation by the beach are wants. If I don’t have a nice car, I will still live. If I don’t go to Cancun for my winter break, I won’t die. However, I want these things.

Fundamental needs are key in the function of the economy. Wants, however, are the driving forces that stimulate demand for things, i.e., demand for goods and services.

We can say either ‘unlimited wants’ or ‘unlimited wants and needs.’

In details and step-by-step, show how you apply the Bubble Sort algorithm on the following list of values. Your answer should sh

astraxan [27]

( 12 17 18 19 25 )

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>First Pass:</u>

( 19 18 25 17 12 ) –> ( 18 19 25 17 12 ), Here, algorithm compares the first two elements, and swaps since 19 > 18.

( 18 19 25 17 12 ) –> ( 18 19 25 17 12 ), Now, since these elements are already in order (25 > 19), algorithm does not swap them.

( 18 19 25 17 12 ) –> ( 18 19 17 25 12 ), Swap since 25 > 17

( 18 19 17 25 12 ) –> ( 18 19 17 12 25 ), Swap since 25 > 12

<u>Second Pass:</u>

( 18 19 17 12 25 ) –> ( 18 19 17 12 25 )

( 18 19 17 12 25 ) –> ( 18 17 19 12 25 ), Swap since 19 > 17

( 18 17 19 12 25 ) –> ( 18 17 12 19 25 ), Swap since 19 > 12

( 18 17 12 19 25 ) –> ( 18 17 12 19 25 )

<u>Third Pass:</u>

( 18 17 12 19 25 ) –> ( 17 18 12 19 25 ), Swap since 18 > 17

( 17 18 12 19 25 ) –> ( 17 12 18 19 25 ), Swap since 18 > 12

( 17 12 18 19 25 ) –> ( 17 12 18 19 25 )

( 17 12 18 19 25 ) –> ( 17 12 18 19 25 )

<u>Fourth Pass:</u>

( 17 12 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 ), Swap since 17 > 12

( 12 17 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 ), Swap since 18 > 12

( 12 17 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 )

( 12 17 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 )

Now, the array is already sorted, but our algorithm does not know if it is completed. The algorithm needs one whole pass without any swap to know it is sorted.

<u>Fifth Pass:</u>

( 12 17 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 )

( 12 17 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 )

( 12 17 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 )

( 12 17 18 19 25 ) –> ( 12 17 18 19 25 )
