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

Supercharging is the process of (a) Supplying the intake of an engine with air at a density greater than the density of the surr
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

a)supplying the  intake of an engine  with air at a  density greater  than the density  of the surrounding  atmosphere

Explanation:

Supercharging  is the process of  supplying the  intake of an engine  with air at a  density greater  than the density  of the surrounding  atmosphere.

By doing this , it increases  the power out put  and increases the  brake thermal  efficiency of the  engine.It also  increases the  volumetric efficiency of the  engine.

So the our  option a is  right.

Air with a mass flow rate of 2.3 kg/s enters a horizontal nozzle operating at steady state at 450 K, 350 kPa, and velocity of 3
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Given that

Mass flow rate ,m=2.3 kg/s

T₁=450 K

P₁=350 KPa

C₁=3 m/s

T₂=300 K

C₂=460 m/s

Cp=1.011 KJ/kg.k

For ideal gas

P V = m R T

P = ρ RT

\rho_1=\dfrac{P_1}{RT_1}

\rho_1=\dfrac{350}{0.287\times 450}

ρ₁=2.71 kg/m³

mass flow rate

m= ρ₁A₁C₁

2.3 = 2.71 x A₁ x 3

A₁=0.28 m²

Now from first law for open system

h_1+\dfrac{C_1^2}{200}+Q=h_2+\dfrac{C_2^2}{2000}

For ideal gas

Δh = CpΔT

by putting the values

1.011\times 450+\dfrac{3^2}{200}+Q=1.011\times 300+\dfrac{460^2}{2000}

Q=1.011\times 300+\dfrac{460^2}{2000}-\dfrac{3^2}{200}-1.011\times 450

Q= - 45.49 KJ/kg

Q =- m x 45.49 KW

Q= - 104.67 KW

Negative sign indicates that heat transfer from air to surrounding
