A total of 245 kip force is applied to a set of 10 similar bolts. If the spring constant of each bolt is 0.4 Mlb/in and that of

members is 1.6 Mlbf/in. What is the net force in every bolt (Fb) if a preload equal to 40 kip was applied to the bolts?

Answer: The net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

Explanation:

Given that;

External load applied = 245 kip

number of bolts n = 10

External Load shared by each bolt (P_E) = 245/10 = 24.5 kip

spring constant of the bolt Kb = 0.4 Mlb/in

spring constant of members Kc = 1.6 Mlb/in

combined stiffness factor C = Kb / (kb+kc) = 0.4 / ( 0.4 + 1.6)  = 0.4 / 2 = 0.2 Mlb/in

Initial pre load Pi = 40 kip

now for Bolts; both pre load Pi and external load P_E are tensile in nature, therefore we add both of them

External Load on each bolt P_Eb = C × PE = 0.2 × 24.5 = 4.9 kip

So Total net Force on each bolt Fb = P_Eb + Pi

Fb = 4.9 kip + 40 kip

Fb = 44.9 kip

Therefore the net force in every bolt is 44.9 kip

HELP<br><br><br>the overall width of a part is dimensioned as 3.00 ± 0.02. what is the tolerance
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Not knowing the units the tolerance is 0.02.  I would presume mm but hopefully your question has more detail.  

Explanation:

The tolerance is the portion after the main dimension (+/- 0.02).  In our case we have bilateral tolerance since there is tolerance in both directions (positive and negative).  If you were building a part the acceptable range would be 2.98 to 3.02 based on the tolerance provided.

With reference to the NSPE Code of Ethics, which one of the following statements is true regarding the ethical obligations of th
34kurt

Answer: c. The VW engineers involved were ethically obligated to hold paramount the health, welfare and safety of the public even if their supervisors directed them to implement software and hardware that enabled cheating on the emissions testing software.

Explanation: The National Society of professional Engineers, NSPE define the code of ethics which must guide engineers in their duty. These codes act as principles of personal conduct, towards the public and their employers.  

One of the areas covered by these codes is overriding importance of the safety and health of the public to any other factor. In addition, engineers are to avoid deception and maintain the reputation of their profession. These cannot be sacrificed for the financial gain of their employers or explained away by saying they are following the direction of their employers. While they have certain responsibilities to their employers, the health welfare and safety of the public is more important.

There are three options for heating a particular house: a. Gas: $1.33/therm where 1 therm=105,500 kJ b. Electric Resistance: $0.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Explanation:

Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.

Given:

Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:

Method (a)

Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.

Method (b)

Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.

Method (c)

Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.

Calculation:

Step1

Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

C_{1}=\frac{\$ 1.33}{therm}\times(\frac{1therm}{105500kj})

C_{1}=1.2606\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step2

Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

C_{2}=\frac{\$ 0.12}{kWh}\times(\frac{1 kWh }{3600kj})

C_{2}=3.334\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step3

Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

C_{3}=\frac{\$ 2.30}{gallon}\times(\frac{1 gallon }{138500kj})

C_{3}=1.66\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.

So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

What happens in double transverse wishbone front suspension when brakes are applied.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

When the brakes are applied the in the typical double transverse wishbone front suspension,  it "drives" the car ground due to the setting of the link-type system pivot points on the lower wishbone are have parallel alignment to the road

Explanation:

In order to minimize the car's reaction to the application of the brakes, the front and rear pivot are arranged with the lower wishbone's rear pivot made to be higher than the front pivot as such the inclined wishbone torque results in an opposing vertical force to the transferred extra weight from the back due to breaking.
