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

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

3.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = y = 0 m

v₀ = 31 sin 35° m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 0 + (31 sin 35°) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = 17.78t − 4.9t²

0 = t (17.78 − 4.9t)

t = 0 or 3.63

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the ball lands after 3.6 seconds.
