Answer:

With increased technological knowledge and consequent decreased factors of ignorance, the structures have less inert masses and therefore less need for such decoration. This is the reason why the modern buildings are plainer and depend upon precision of outline and perfection of finish for their architectural effect.

A motorist enters a freeway at 25 mi/h and accelerates uniformly to 65 mi/h. From the odometer in the car, the motorist knows th

Helga [31]

Answer:

a) 2.2 m/s² b) 8 s

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the acceleration is constant, we can use any of the kinematic equations to solve the question.

As we don´t know the time needed to accelerate, we can use the following equation:

vf2 – vo2 = 2*a*∆x

At first, we can convert the values of vf, vo and ∆x, to SI units, as follows:

vf = 65 mi/h* (1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 29 m/s

vo = 25 mi/h *(1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 11.2 m/s

∆x = 0.1 mi*(1,605 m / 1mi) = 160.5 m

Replacing these values in (1), and solving for a, we have:

a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 321 m = 2.2 m/s2

b) In order to obtain the time needed to reach to 65 mi/h, we can rearrange the equation for the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vf = vo + at

Replacing by the values already known for vo, vf and a, and solving for t, we get:

t = vf-vo /a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 2.2 m/s = 8 sec

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.6 mm; the spe

ankoles [38]

Answer:

F = 8849 N

Explanation:

Given:

Load at a given point = F = 4250 N

Support span = L = 44 mm

Radius = R = 5.6 mm

length thickness of tested material = 12 mm

First compute the flexural strength for circular cross section using the formula below:

σ $_{fs} = F_{f} L / \pi R^{3}$

σ = FL / π R³

Putting the given values in the above formula:

σ = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / π ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 (44 x 1 /1000 )) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 11 / 250 ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 1 / 1000 ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 (0.0056)³

= 338943767.745358

= 338.943768 x 10⁶

σ = 338 x 10⁶ N/m²

Now we compute the load i.e. F from the following formula:

$F_{f}$ = 2 σ $_{fs}$ d³/3 L

F = 2σd³/3L

= 2(338 x 10⁶)(12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3(44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338 x 1000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 1/1000 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 3 / 250 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 27 / 15625000 ) / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 146016 / 125 / 3 ( 44 x 1 / 1000 )

= ( 146016 / 125 ) / (3 ( 11 / 250 ))

= 97344 / 11
