Answer:

The percentage of recycling in high socioeconomic localities is 11.02%.

Explanation:

Since in high socioeconomic localities, 10% of paper is recycled, 12% of plastic, 1.7% of fabrics, 1.2% of rubbers, 0.9% of metals, 3.5% of glass, 33% of food wastes, 35% soil and 1.9% miscellaneous, to determine the average recycling percentage the following calculation must be performed:

(10 + 12 + 1.7 + 1.2 + 0.9 + 3.5 + 33 + 35 + 1.9) / 9 = X

99.2 / 9 = X

11.02 = X

Therefore, the percentage of recycling in high socioeconomic localities is 11.02%.

A concentrated load P is applied to the upper end of a 1.47-m-long pipe. The outside diameter of the pipe is D = 112 mm and the

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Pmax = 38251.73 N

Explanation:

Given info

L = 1.47 m

D = 112 mm ⇒ R = D/2 = 112/2 mm = 56 mm

d = 101 mm ⇒ r = D/2 = 101/2 mm = 50.5 mm

a) We can apply the following equation in order to get Q (First Moment of Area):

Q = 2*(A₁*y₁-A₂*y₂)

where

A₁ = π*R² = π*(56 mm)² = 3136 π mm²

y₁ = 4*R/(3*π) = 4*56/(3*π) mm = 224/(3*π) mm

A₂ = π*r² = π*(50.5 mm)² = 2550.25 π mm²

y₂ = 4*r/(3*π) = 4*50.5/(3*π) mm = 202/(3*π) mm

then

Q = 2*(3136 π mm²*224/(3*π) mm-2550.25 π mm²*202/(3*π) mm)

⇒ Q = 62437.833 mm³

b) If τallow = 83 MPa = 83 N/mm²

P = ?

We can use the equation

τ = V*Q / (t*I) ⇒ V = τ*t*I / Q

where

t = D - d = 112 mm - 101 mm = 11 mm

I = (π/64)*(D⁴-d⁴) = (π/64)*((112 mm)⁴-(101 mm)⁴) = 2615942.11 mm⁴

Q = 62437.833 mm³

we could also use this equation in order to get Q:

Q = (4/3)*(R³-r³)

⇒ Q = (4/3)*((56 mm)³-(50.5 mm)³) = 62437.833 mm³

then we have

V = (83 N/mm²)*(11 mm)*(2615942.11 mm⁴) / (62437.833 mm³)

⇒ V = 2942.255 N

Finally Pmax = V = 38251.73 N

Q4. (20 points) For a bronze alloy, the stress at which plastic deformation begins is 271 MPa and the modulus of elasticity is 1

babunello [35]

Answer:

a) P = 86720 N

b) L = 131.2983 mm

Explanation:

σ = 271 MPa = 271*10⁶ Pa

E = 119 GPa = 119*10⁹ Pa

A = 320 mm² = (320 mm²)(1 m² / 10⁶ mm²) = 3.2*10⁻⁴ m²

a) P = ?

We can apply the equation

σ = P / A ⇒ P = σ*A = (271*10⁶ Pa)(3.2*10⁻⁴ m²) = 86720 N

b) L₀ = 131 mm = 0.131 m

We can get ΔL applying the following formula (Hooke's Law):

ΔL = (P*L₀) / (A*E) ⇒ ΔL = (86720 N*0.131 m) / (3.2*10⁻⁴ m²*119*10⁹ Pa)

⇒ ΔL = 2.9832*10⁻⁴ m = 0.2983 mm

Finally we obtain

L = L₀ + ΔL = 131 mm + 0.2983 mm = 131.2983 mm

__________ affect(s) the amount of air conditioning required.

Grace [21]

Answer:

Option D

All the above

Explanation:

Depending with the number of occupants in a building, the number of air conditioners required can either be increased or reduced. For instance, if the building is to be a classroom of over 50 students, 1 air-conditioner can't serve effectively. Similarly, the activity of occupants also dictate the amount of air conditioners required since if it's a gym room where occupants exercise often then the air conditioners required is different from if the room was to serve as a lounge. The appliances that also operate in a room require that air conditioners be installed as per the heat that may be generated by the appliances.

A specimen of a 4340 steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 54.8 Mpa root m is exposed to a stress of 1030 MPa. W

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

It will not experience fracture when it is exposed to a stress of 1030 MPa.

Explanation:

Given

Klc = 54.8 MPa √m

a = 0.5 mm = 0.5*10⁻³m

Y = 1.0

This problem asks us to determine whether or not the 4340 steel alloy specimen will fracture when exposed to a stress of 1030 MPa, given the values of KIc, Y, and the largest value of a in the material. This requires that we solve for σc from the following equation:

σc = KIc / (Y*√(π*a))

Thus

σc = 54.8 MPa √m / (1.0*√(π*0.5*10⁻³m))

⇒ σc = 1382.67 MPa > 1030 MPa

Therefore, the fracture will not occur because this specimen can handle a stress of 1382.67 MPa before experience fracture.

True or False? Early engineers used a trial-anderror approach, rather than mathematical and scientific principles when solving

yarga [219]

Answer:

<h2>True Most Especially in the field of Automotive Engineering</h2>

Explanation:

Normally, before the introduction of vehicle diagnostics when a vehicle, mostly automobile/car break down, one could be the vehicle mechanic would only suspect one or two related faults based on the present working condition of the car, the mechanic would perform some trial and error before he could fix the car.

But in recent times, the introduction of vehicle diagnostics devices and software has changed the order as vehicles can be connected to a computer that will scan and tell what the problem is before a possible fix.
