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

The electricity generated by wind turbines annually in kilowatt-hours per year is given in a file. The amount of electricity is
Anika [276]

Answer:

Steps:

1. Create a text file that contains blade diameter (in feet), wind velocity (in mph) and the approximate electricity generated for the year

2.  load the data file for example, in matlab, use ('fileame.txt') to load the file

3. create variables from each column of your data

  for example, in matlab,  

     x=t{1}

     y=t{2}

4. plot the wind velocity and electricity generated.

   plot(x, y)

5. Label the individual axis and name the graph title.

    title('Graph of wind velocity vs approximate electricity generated for the year')

     xlabel('wind velocity')

     ylabel('approximate electricity generated for the year')

A liquid's viscosity increases with increasing temperature. a)-True b)-False
olasank [31]

Answer:

b) False

Explanation:

Viscosity:

   Viscosity is a fluid property and comes in the picture when fluid in the motion.In Simple words viscosity is the frictional force offered by fluid between the fluid layer.Viscosity provides a resistant to flow of fluid.

Generally viscosity are of two types

1.Dynamics viscosity

2.Kinematics viscosity

Generally in liquids when temperature of fluid is increases then molecular force between fluid particle goes to decreases.Due to this viscosity of liquids will decrease.

So our option b is right.

There is an electric field near the Earth's surface whose magnitude is about 145 V/m . How much energy is stored per cubic meter
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

u_e = 9.3 * 10^-8 J / m^3  ( 2 sig. fig)

Explanation:

Given:

- Electric Field strength near earth's surface E = 145 V / m

- permittivity of free space (electric constant) e_o =  8.854 *10^-12 s^4 A^2 / m^3 kg

Find:

- How much energy is stored per cubic meter in this field?

Solution:

- The solution requires the energy density stored between earth's surface and the source of electric field strength. The formula for charge density is given by:

                                        u_e = 0.5*e_o * E^2

- Plug in the values given:

                                        u_e = 0.5*8.854 *10^-12 *145^2

                                        u_e = 9.30777 * 10^-8  J/m^3
