A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s r

atio of 0.30. If this specimen is pulled in tension with a force of 60,000 N, what is the change in width if deformation is totally elastic?

Answer:

There's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Shear Modulus;E = 207 GPa = 207 × 10^(9) N/m²

Force;F = 60000 N.

Poisson’s ratio; υ =0.30

We are told width is 20 mm and thickness 40 mm.

Thus;

Area = 20 × 10^(-3) × 40 × 10^(-3)

Area = 8 × 10^(-4) m²

Now formula for shear modulus is;

E = σ/ε_z

Where σ is stress given by the formula Force(F)/Area(A)

While ε_z is longitudinal strain.

Thus;

E = (F/A)/ε_z

ε_z = (F/A)/E

ε_z = (60,000/(8 × 10^(-4)))/(207 × 10^(9))

ε_z = 3.62 × 10^(-4)

Now, formula for lateral strain is;

ε_x = - υ × ε_z

ε_x = -0.3 × 3.62 × 10^(-4)

ε_x = -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Now, change in width is given by;

Δw = w_o × ε_x

Where w_o is initial width = 20 × 10^(-3) m

So; Δw = 20 × 10^(-3) × -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Δw = -2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Negative means the width decreased.

So there's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

How do the units of work and power compare?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

W = Fd, where F is force and d is displacement

Unit of work done :

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement is meter (m). So, the unit of work done is N-m. It is call Joule. It means that the unit of work done is Joule.

Power is given by rate at which the work is done. It is given by :

P = W/t, W is work done and t is time

Unit of power:

Unit of work is Joule (J) and that of time is second (s). It means that the unit of power is Watt and it is equal to Joule/second

Hence, the correct option is (d) "The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second".

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

the correct answer is C,      E’= 4E

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the electric field at a given point

         E = k \frac{q}{r^2}

indicates that the field is E for r = 2m

         E = \frac{ k q}{4}                  (1)

the field is requested for a distance r = 1 m

         E ’= k \frac{q}{r'^2}

         E ’= k q / 1

 

from equation 1

         4E = k q

       

we substitute

        E’= 4E

so the correct answer is C
