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

Two stationary point charges of 3.00 nC and 2.00 nC are separated by a distance of 50.0 cm. An electron is released from rest at

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

1. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint is - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

2. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge is - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J

Explanation:

given information:

$q_{1}$ = 3 nC = 3 x $10^{-9}$ C

$q_{2}$ = 2 nC = 2 x $10^{-9}$ C

r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint

potential energy of the charge, F

F = k $\frac{q_{e}q}{r}$

where

k = constant (8.99 x $10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2}$ )

electron charge, $q_{e}$ = - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ C

since it is measured at the midpoint,

r = $\frac{0.5}{2}$

= 0.25 m

thus,

F = $F_{1}+ F_{2}$

= k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $\frac{kq_{e} }{r}$ ( $q_{1} +q_{2}$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ +2 x $10^{-9}$ )/0.25

= - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge

$r_{1}$ = 10 cm = 0.1 m

$r_{2}$ = 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 m

F = k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $kq_{e}$ ( $\frac{q_{1} }{r_{1} }$ + $\frac{q_{2} }{r_{2} }$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ /0.1+2 x $10^{-9}$ /0.4)

= - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J

Un pintor de 75.0 kg sube por una escalera de 2.75 m que está inclinada contra una pared vertical. La escalera forma un ángulo d

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Work done, W = 1786.17J

Explanation:

The question says "A 75.0-kg painter climbs a 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall. The ladder makes an angle of 30.0 ° with the wall. How much work (in Joules) does gravity do on the painter? "

Mass of a painter, m = 75 kg

He climbs 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall.

The ladder makes an angle of 30 degrees with the wall.

We need to find the work done by the gravity on the painter.

The angle between the weight of the painter and the displacement is :

θ = 180 - 30

= 150°

The work done by the gravity is given by :

$W=Fd\cos\theta\\\\=75\times 10\times 2.75\times \cos30\\\\=1786.17\ J$

Hence, the required work done is 1786.17 J.

Is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.

Which of theses substances would be a poor conductor of electricity

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B. Water and sugar.

Explanation:

In the given options water and sugar would be the poor conductor of electricity. Other given options such as water and salt, water and Hcl and water and NaOH are better conductor of electricity because Hcl ,NaOH, salt (Nacl) can break into their ionic form whereas water and sugar will not.
