Mass isn’t dependent on gravity, so the man would still be 66
66
k
g
. His weight, however, is calculated using the formula:

=
w
=
m
g

So, weight, equal mass times the acceleration due to gravity. On the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.62/²
1.62
m

. If we plug these “givens” in, we get:

=(66)(1.62/²)
w
=

Therefore, weight equals 106.92

A circular cross section, d = 25 mm, experiences a torque load, T = 25 N·m, and a shear force, V = 85 kN. Calculate the shear st
Maru [420]

Answer:

The correct answer is 231 Mpa i.e option a.

Explanation:

using the equation of torsion we Have

\frac{T}{I_{p}}=\frac{\tau }{r}\\\\\therefore \tau =\frac{T}{I_{p}}\times r

where,

\tau= shear stress at a distance 'r' from the center

T = is the applied torque

I_{p} = polar moment of inertia of the section

r = radial distance from the center

Thus we can see that if a point is located at center i.e r = 0 there will be no shearing stresses at the center due to torque.

We know that in case of a circular section the maximum shearing stresses due to a shear force occurs at the center and equals

\tau _{max}=\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{V}{A}

Applying values we get

\tau _{max}=\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{85\times 10^{3}}{0.25\times \pi \times (25\times 10^{-3})^{2}}\\\\\therefore \tau _{max}=230.88Mpa\approx 231Mpa

Identify the conditions for an elastic collision in a closed system. Check all that apply.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

In an elastic collision:

  • There is no external net force acting. Thus, Momentum before and after collision is equal. Momentum remains conserved.
  • Total energy always remains conserved as energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can change from one form to another.
  • There is no lost due to friction in elastic collision. So the kinetic energy is also conserved.
  • Velocities may change after collision. If the masses are equal, the velocities interchange.

When one object is stationary:

Final velocity of object 1:

v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁/(m₁ +m₂)

Final velocity of object 2:

v₂ = (2 m₁ u₁)/(m₁+m₂) =

  • Objects do not stick together in elastic collision. They stick together in inelastic collision.
  • One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.

Thus, conditions for an elastic collision:

  • Energy is conserved.
  • Velocities may change.
  • Momentum is conserved.
  • Kinetic energy is conserved.
  • One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.
