The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E and F. The b

ase plate CD has been welded to the lower flange of the beam, and the end reaction of the beam is known to be 18 kips. The coefficient of static friction is 0.30 between two steel surfaces and 0.60 between steel and concrete. If the horizontal motion of the beam is prevented by the force Q, determine (a) the force P required to raise the beam, (b) the corresponding force Q

Answer:

a) P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) Q = 5.4 Kips

Explanation:

GIven

W = 18 Kips

μ₁ = 0.30

μ₂ = 0.60

a) P = ?

We get F₁  and F₂ as follows:

F₁ = μ₁*W = 0.30*18 Kips = 5.4 Kips

F₂ = μ₂*Nef = 0.6*Nef

Then, we apply

∑Fy = 0   (+↑)

Nef*Cos 12º -  F₂*Sin 12º = W

⇒   Nef*Cos 12º -  (0.6*Nef)*Sin 12º = 18

⇒   Nef = 21.09 Kips

Wedge moves if

P ≥ F₁ + F₂*Cos 12º + Nef*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 5.4 Kips + 0.6*21.09 Kips*Cos 12º + 21.09 Kips*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) For the static equilibrium of base plate

Q = F₁ = 5.4 Kips

We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.

Answer:

a; P = 15.25 kips

b) Q = 5.4 kips

Explanation:

To understand scenerio, see attached image also.

Consider the forces acting on the system, F1 is the force acting against the direction of P, F2 acting in the along direction of P, N is at angle 12 degrees

Calculating F1, we have;

F1 = µ x 18 = 0.30 x 18 = 5.4 kips

F2 = = µ x N = 0.3N

To be in static condition, sum of forces would be equal to 0

18 = N cos 12 – F2 sin 12

Putting value of F2 and solving above equation for N;

N x 0.915 = 18

N = 19.65 kips

Now the wedge will move if, P > ( F1  + F2 cos 12 + N sin 12)

Putting the values;

P >= 15.25 kips

The corresponding force Q will be equal to F1 = 5.4 kips

If an object has the same number of positive and negative charges, its electrical charge is
N76 [4]

When an object has the same number of positive and negative charges, its electrical charge will become neutral.

What is an electric charge?

When the matter is put in an electromagnetic field, it has an electric charge, which causes it to experience a force. A positive or negative electric charge can exist.

Now when the two equal magnitude charges with opposite natures come together they become neutral.

Explain the prosses of welding
klio [65]

Answer:

Welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are fused together by means of heat, pressure or both forming a join as the parts cool. Welding is usually used on metals and thermoplastics but can also be used on wood.

There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 12 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

  16 minutes

Explanation:

This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.

The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."

Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...

  (4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min

The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.

You can write two equations for height:

  y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)

  y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . .  height in feet after x minutes (tank B)

These will be equal when ...

  y = y

  12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x

  4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8

  16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height

The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.

What type of car engine is best for cold weather.
Komok [63]

Answer:Antifreeze/coolant

Explanation: keeps your engine cool in warm weather and keeps it from freezing up in the winter. A 50-50 mix of full strength coolant and water generally protects to around -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you check with the supplier or your owner's manual for the correct formulation

What does this middle button on the middle of my Chevrolet equinox steering wheel mean?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Depending on how new your vehicle is, to me it looks like some sort of turn on button for forward collision safety feature, but i'm not an expert with this particular vehicle. If you want a better answer, I strongly suggest looking at the owner's manual under which should be located in the front dash compartment on the passengers side. Once you have the manual, look in the appendix until you find controls (or something similar) then go to that page and read about your vehicles control buttons. Your answer should be in the manual.

Something that all automobile owners should do right after purchasing a new vehicle, is reading the owners manual. As boring as it may seem, reading the owner's manual will help you get used to your new car quicker and give you instructions on how to take care of your car so that it lasts.

Have a great day, and I wish you safe traveling for now and forever! :)
