Answer:

156.0 ksi

Explanation:

The formula of compressive strength is  CS = F / A

where F is the force or load while A is the cross-sectional area

Given the inertia Ag = 35.1 in^4 , which is less than 40, the steel has a short column.

E = 29000 ksi

L = 12ft

r = 2.69 in

therefore;

CS = π^2 E / (kL^2/r)^2

   = π^2 29000 / (0.8 x 12^2 / 2.69)^2

  = 286292.756 / 1834.4089 = 156 ksi

Indicate the correct statement about the effect of Reynolds number on the character of the flow over an object.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

Explanation:

Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.

It is calculated as;

R_e__N} = \frac{\rho vd}{\mu}

where;

ρ is density

v is velocity

d is diameter

μ is viscosity

All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.

In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.

An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 40MPa. It has been dete
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}} and making Y the subject

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, \sigma_c  is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}  and making K the subject

K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}  and substituting 260 MPa for \sigma_c  while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material

An escalator handles a steady load of 26 people per minute in elevating them from the first to the second floor through a vertic
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

\eta = 70.711\,\%

Explanation:

The power needed to make the escalator working is obtained by means of the Work-Energy Theorem:

\dot W  = \dot U_{g}

\dot W = \dot n \cdot m_{p}\cdot g \cdot \Delta y

\dot W = \left(26\,\frac{persons}{min}\right)\cdot (124\,lbm)\cdot \left(32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,lbf}{32.174\,\frac{lbm\cdot ft}{s^{2}} } \right)\cdot (27.5\,ft)

\dot W = 88660\,\frac{lbf\cdot ft}{min}\,\left(2.687\,hp\right)

The mechanical efficiency of the escalator is:

\eta = \frac{2.687\,hp}{3.8\,hp}\times 100\,\%

\eta = 70.711\,\%
