Answer:

The metal Harvey should use for reflective coatings in telescope mirror is;

C. Aluminum

Explanation:

In a telescope, the mirror of the telescope is usually made of a temperature-resistant and strong glass, while the reflective coating of the mirrors is made usually from aluminum. A protective coating often composed of silicon dioxide is placed n the top of the reflective coating

Aluminum is used in a telescope, rather than the silver, which is the most reflective material, because silver requires special conditions to be able to work, and silver tarnishes when exposed to air containing sulfur, and silver is susceptible to corrode.

Someone claims that in fully developed turbulent flow in a tube, the shear stress is a maximum at the tube surface. Is this clai
Alika [10]

Answer:

Yes this claim is correct.

Explanation:

The shear stress at any point is proportional to the velocity gradient at any that point. Since the fluid that is in contact with the pipe wall shall have zero velocity due to no flow boundary condition and if we move small distance away from the wall the velocity will have a non zero value thus a maximum gradient will exist at the surface of the pipe hence correspondingly the shear stresses will also be maximum.

Question 1
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A. from zero at the center to maximum at the circumference.

Explanation:

The shear stress describes the process where a body deforms as a result of a part sliding over the other.

The value of shear stress which is induced in the shaft due to the applied couple varies from zero at the center to maximum at the circumference.

The shear stress in a shaft is given by this formula;

τ = Tr/I

where;

τ = shear stress (MPa).

T = applied torque (Nmm).

r = distance from center to stressed surface in the given position (mm).

I = polar moment of Inertia of cross-sectional area (mm).

A 1020 CD steel shaft is to transmit 15 kW while rotating at 1750 rpm. Determine the minimum diameter for the shaft to provide a
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

diameter is 14 mm

Explanation:

given data

power = 15 kW

rotation N = 1750 rpm

factor of safety = 3

to find out

minimum diameter

solution

we will apply here power formula to find T that is

power = 2π×N×T / 60    .................1

put here value

15 ×10^{3} = 2π×1750×T / 60

so

T = 81.84 Nm

and

torsion = T / Z                        ..........2

here Z is section modulus i.e = πd³/ 16

so from equation 2

torsion = 81.84 / πd³/ 16

so torsion = 416.75 / / d³     .................3

so from shear stress theory

torsion = σy / factor of safety

so here σy = 530 for 1020 steel

so

torsion = σy / factor of safety

416.75 / d³ = 530 × 10^{6} / 3

so d = 0.0133 m

so diameter is 14 mm

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:e. support reinforcing bars in beams and slabs, prior to concrete placement.

Explanation: Chairs are used for construction of foundations,large steel supports,deck constructions and for underground works. Chairs can be for rebar support ( rebar support chairs),post tension chairs.

Bolsters are usually long made of metallic materials mainly used as support for construction of different infrastructures like roads it helps to ensure the concretes and other construction materials stay firmly connected. Image 1 is a metal be chair

Image 2 is a metal bolster
