Answer:

Advantages

The main advantage in the use of pulleys is that the effort becomes less as compared to the normal lifting of the weights. In other words, it reduces the amount of actual force required to lift heavy objects. It also changes the direction of the force applied. These two advantages in the use pulleys make them an important tool for heavy lifting. It also provides a mechanical advantage.

The other advantage in the use of pulleys is that the distance between the operator and weight. There is a safe distance between them which avoids any disaster. Pulleys are easy to assemble and cost-effective. The combination of different directional pulleys can change the position of the load with little effort. Though there are moving parts in the pulley system they require less or no lubrication after installation.

Disadvantages

Apart from the above-said advantages while using pulley systems, there are several disadvantages in their use. The main disadvantage in the use of the pulley system is that it requires large space to install and operate. The mechanical advantage of pulleys can go to higher values but need more space to install them.

In some cases, the ropes/belts move over the wheel with no grooves, the chances of the slip of ropes/belts from the wheel are inevitable. If the system is installed to use for a long time, they require maintenance and regular check-up of ropes/cables as the friction between the wheels and cables/ropes occur causing wear and tear to them. Continuous use of the system makes the ropes weak. The rope may break while using the system causing damages to the operator, surrounding place and the load which is being lifted.

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

$\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2} }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2} }$

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

$32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2} }$

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

$\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}$

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

$\sigma _{p1} +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi$ (equation 1)

$\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi$ equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero

2. Determine the surface area of a primary settling tank sized to handle a maximum hourly flow of 0.570 m3/s at an overflow rate

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The surface area of the primary settling tank is 0.0095 m^2.

The effective theoretical detention time is 0.05 s.

Explanation:

The surface area of the tank is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the overflow rate.

Volumetric flow rate = 0.570 m^3/s

Overflow rate = 60 m/s

Surface area = 0.570 m^3/s ÷ 60 m/s = 0.0095 m^2

Detention time is calculated by dividing the volume of the tank by the its volumetric flow rate

Volume of the tank = surface area × depth = 0.0095 m^2 × 3 m = 0.0285 m^3

Detention time = 0.0285 m^3 ÷ 0.570 m^3/s = 0.05 s

The universe is sometimes described as an isolated system. Why?

Romashka [77]

Answer and Explanation :The universe means it includes everything, even the things which we can not see is an isolated system because universe has no surroundings. an isolated system does not exchange energy or matter with its surroundings.Sometime universe is treated as isolated system because it obtains lots of energy from the sun but the exchange of matter or energy with outside is almost zero.

the total energy of an isolated system is always constant means total energy of universe is also constant
there is no exchange of matter or energy in an isolated system
