Concrete colums are constructed with reinforcing steel in them to make them stronger and more ductile. The reinforcing bars are

designated by size, with the size being the diameter in eights of an inch. For example, a #4 bar is 4/8 inch in diameter. A 11 inch square concrete column is constructed with eight #4 bars. A 50000 pound load is applied to this column. The modulus of elasticity of the reinforcing steel is 29x106 psi, while the modulus of elasticity of the concrete is 4.1x106 psi. (area of the concrete= 119.4 in^2)
a. What is the stress in the steel?
b. What is the stress in the concrete?

Answer:

21678.47223\ lbf-in^2

383.1109\ lbf-in^2

Explanation:

d = Diameter of column = 0.5 inch

A_c = Area of concrete = 119.4\ in^2

The strain in the system is conserved

\dfrac{F_sL}{A_sE_s}=\dfrac{F_cL}{A_cE_c}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_sA_cE_c}{A_sE_s}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_s \times 119.4\times 4.1\times 10^6}{8\times \dfrac{\pi \dfrac{1}{2^2}}{4}\times 29\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow F_c=10.74658F_s

Now

F_c+F_s=50000\\\Rightarrow 10.74658F_s+F_s=50000\\\Rightarrow F_s=\dfrac{50000}{11.74658}\\\Rightarrow F_s=4256.55807\ lbf

F_c=10.74658F_s\\\Rightarrow F_c=10.74658\times 4256.55807\\\Rightarrow F_c=45743.44182\ lbf

Stress is given by

\sigma_s=\dfrac{4256.55807}{\pi \dfrac{1}{2^2}}{4}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_s=21678.47223\ lbf-in^2

The stress in the steel is 21678.47223\ lbf-in^2

\sigma_c=\dfrac{45743.44182}{119.4}\\\Rightarrow \sigma_s=383.1109\ lbf-in^2

The stress in the steel is 383.1109\ lbf-in^2

Is the state of the air in an isolated room completely specified by the temperature and the pressure? Explain
anyanavicka [17]
I think these two variables are sufficient to completely specify the state.

In an isolated room with air only ,the volume is fixed.Mass ,density and its specific volume can be easily known.

Other thermodynamic properties like entropy, enthalpy etc are also fixed at a given temperature & pressure.

suppose you use three different scales to weigh bag of oranges one scale says the bag weighs 2.1 lbs a second says it weighs 2.2
Ber [7]

Answer:

It would be 2.2 if you have to round the five to the one but if your not rounding the number, it'd be 2.1.

With respect to the earth, object 1 is moving at speed 0.80 c to the right. Object 2 is moving in the same direction at speed 0.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

0.976 c

Explanation:

v_{1e} = velocity of object 1 relative to earth = 0.80 c

v_{21} = velocity of object 2 relative to object 1 = 0.80 c

v_{2e} = velocity of object 2 relative to earth

Velocity of object 2 relative to earth is given as

v_{2e}= \frac{v_{1e} + v_{21}}{1 + \frac{v_{1e}v_{21}}{c^{2}}}

v_{2e}= \frac{0.80 c + 0.80 c}{1 + \frac{(0.80c)(0.80c)}{c^{2}}}

v_{2e} = 0.976 c

Calculate the resistance of an electric bulb which allows a 10 A current when connected to a 220 V power source
kodGreya [7K]

Resistance can be calculated by Ohm's law

As per ohm's law we will have

V = i * R

here we will have

voltage = 220 volts

current = 10 A

So by the above formula we will have

220 = 10* R

R = 22 ohm

So resistance of the bulb is 22 ohm.

If a football player does 39000 J of work, how much power does the football player exert in 5 minutes
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Power = 130 watt

Explanation:

Power is described as the ability to do work, it is also defined as the amount of work in Joules done in a given time in seconds. Mathematically, it is represented as:

power = \frac{work (J)}{Time (s)}

In this example, power is calculated as follows:

Work = 39000 J

Time = 5 minutes

converting the time from minutes to seconds:

1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ 5 minutes = 60 × 5 = 300 seconds

\therefore power = \frac{39000}{300} \\power = 130 watt

N:B the unit for power can also be represented as Joules/seconds or J/s or JS⁻¹
