Answer:

588.55 kg

attached below is a sketch of the members of the truss

Explanation:

Given data:

Maximum tensile force = 22 KN

maximum compressive force = 20 KN

To determine the largest permissible mass m which may be supported by the truss

First we have have to find the summation of forces in the Y and X direction along Joint C

<u>Summation of forces in the Y direction</u>

∑Fy = 0

= BC sin30° - W = 0.   hence BC = 2WT

<u>summation of forces in the X direction </u>

∑Fx = 0

= -CD - BC cos30°

therefore CD = -2W cos30°

hence ; CD = - 1.732W

ignoring the compression on CD. therefore CD = 1.732W C

Next we have to analyze Joint B

summation of forces in the X direction

∑Fx = 0

= - AB + BC cos30° = 0

therefore AB = BC cos30°

                AB = 1.732W T

∑Fy = 0

- BD - BC sin30° = 0

therefore BD = -W = W C

Analyzing Joint D

∑Fy = 0

AD sin30° + BD = 0

hence ;AD = 2W T

∑Fx = 0

-DE - ADcos30° + CD = 0

hence DE = -3.464W  =  3.464W C

At Joint E

∑Fy = 0

i.e. AE = 0

from the above analysis The tensile force is greatest on members AD and BC

AD = BC = 2W

from the question the maximum tensile force in any of the truss members = 22KN

Hence ;

2W = 22KN

2mg = 22000N

m = 22000 / ( 2 * 9.81 )

   = 1121.30 kg

from the above analysis the greatest compressive force is found in DE which is the critical part of the Truss hence the maximum mass it can carry is the largest permissible mass which may be supported by the Truss

DE = 3.464 W

from the question the maximum compressive force = 20 KN

hence ;

3.464 W = 20KN

3.464 mg = 20000N

m = 20000 / ( 3.464 * 9.81 )

m = 588.55 kg

Explain the working of McLeod gauge for measurement of very low pressure.
AfilCa [17]

Explanation:

McLeod gauge:

  It is used to measure very low pressure of gas.It measure gas pressure by the help of mercury(Hg).it measure absolute pressure of gas.

McLeod gauge on the principle of Boyle's law.Boyle's law state that ,at constant temperature the pressure of gas is directly proportional to its  volume.From Boyle's law

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

A sample of gas is taken from vacuum then its pressure is measured by help  Hg.

If you make a mistake in polarity when measuring the value of DC voltage in a circuit with a digital VOM, what will happen? A. T
zimovet [89]

Answer:

C. The meter will display a negative sign.

Explanation:

If you use an analog voltmeter and you measure voltage with reverse polarity you will damage it. But in this case we are using a digital multimeter. This kind of multimeter is designed to be able to deal with positive and negative voltages
