g Asbestos is a fibrous silicate mineral with remarkably high tensile strength. But is no longer used because airborne asbestos

particles can cause lung cancer. Grunerite, a type of asbestos, has a tensile strength of 3.5 × 10ଶ kg mmଶ ⁄ (meaning a strand of grunerite with a 1-mmଶ cross-sectional area can hold up to 3.5 × 10ଶ kg). The tensile strength of aluminum and Steel No. 5137 are 2.4 × 10ସ lb inଶ ⁄ and 5.0 × 10ସ lb inଶ ⁄ respectively. Calculate the cross section areas in mmଶ of wires of aluminum and of Steel No. 5137 that have the same tensile strength as a fiber of grunerite with a cross-sectional area of 1.0 μmଶ

Answer:

Aluminum cross sectional area = 1.99 * 10^-5 mm^2

Steel cross sectional area = 9.95* 10^-6 mm^2

Explanation:

Given data:

Tensile strength of Grunerite = 3.5 * 10^2 kg/mm^2 = 3.5 * 10^-4 kg/<em>u</em>m^2

Tensile strength of Aluminum = 2.5 × 10^4 lb/in2 =  2.5 × 10^4 * 703.07 kg/m^2

Tensile strength of Steel number 5137 = 5.0 × 10^4 lb/in2 = 5.0 × 10^4*703.07 kg/m^2

<u>Calculating the cross sectional area of the wires of aluminum and steel No5137</u>

first we will determine the cross sectional area of the aluminum wire ( A ) by equating tensile strength of aluminum with the tensile strength

of Grunerite

(2.5 × 10^4 * 703.07)  * A = 3.5 * 10^-4 kg

Hence ; A = 1.99 * 10^-5 mm^2

Next we calculate the cross sectional area of steel

5.0 × 10^4*703.07 kg/m^2 * A" = 3.5 * 10^-4 kg

Hence ; A" = 9.95* 10^-6 mm^2

What is a robot’s work envelope?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A robot's work envelope is its range of movement. It is the shape created when a manipulator reaches forward, backward, up and down. These distances are determined by the length of a robot's arm and the design of its axes. ... A robot can only perform within the confines of this work envelope.

The rate of flow through an ideal clarifier is 8000m3 /d, the detention time is 1h and the depth is 3m. If a full-length movable
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a) 35%

b) yes it can be improved by moving the tray near the top

   Tray should be located ( 1 to 2 meters below surface )

   max removal efficiency ≈ 70%

c) The maximum removal will drop as the particle settling velocity = 0.5 m/h

Explanation:

Given data:

flow rate = 8000 m^3/d

Detention time = 1h

depth = 3m

Full length movable horizontal tray :  1m below surface

<u>a) Determine percent removal of particles having a settling velocity of 1m/h</u>

velocity of critical sized particle to be removed = Depth / Detention time

= 3 / 1 = 3m/h

The percent removal of particles having a settling velocity of 1m/h ≈ 35%

<u>b) Determine if  the removal efficiency of the clarifier can be improved by moving the tray, the location of the tray  and the maximum removal efficiency</u>

The tray should be located near the top of the tray ( i.e. 1 to 2 meters below surface ) because here the removal efficiency above the tray will be 100% but since the tank is quite small hence the

Total Maximum removal efficiency

=  percent removal_{above} + percent removal_{below}

= ( d_{a},v_{p} ) . \frac{d_{a} }{depth}  + ( d_{a},v_{p} ) . \frac{depth - d_{a} }{depth}  = 100

hence max removal efficiency ≈ 70%

<u>c) what is the effect of moving the tray would be if the particle settling velocity were equal to 0.5m/h?</u>

The maximum removal will drop as the particle settling velocity = 0.5 m/h
