Explanation:

Despite its futuristic outlook and results biohacking remains a largely unsupervised, dangerous if not illegal movement. Though the research and results produced by biohackers is ground breaking, it also breaks several ethical codes on human experimentation and endangering live of several humans.

I agree with the fact that risks outweigh advantages, but you can do things like:

- 3D Printing Body Parts

- Finding Cures

- Correcting Deformites.

The only issue is that it's illegal, unfortunately.

A square power screw has a mean diameter of 30 mm and a pitch of 4 mm with single thread. The collar diameter can be assumed to

poizon [28]

Answer:

i) The torque required to raise the load is 15.85 N*m

ii) The torque required to lower the load is 6.91 N*m

iii) The minimum coefficient of friction is -0.016

Explanation:

Given:

dm = mean diameter = 0.03 m

p = pitch = 0.004 m

n = number of starts = 1

The lead is:

L = n * p = 1 * 0.004 = 0.004 m

F = load = 7000 N

dc = collar diameter = 0.035 m

u = 0.05

i) The helix angle is:

$tan\alpha =\frac{L}{\pi *d_{m} } =\frac{0.004}{\pi *0.03} \\\alpha =2.43$

The torque is:

$T=F\frac{d_{m} }{2} (\frac{\pi *u*d_{m}+L }{\pi *d_{m}-uL } )+(u_{c} F+\frac{d_{2} }{2} )=7000*\frac{0.03}{2} (\frac{\pi *0.05*0.03+0.004}{\pi *0.03-0.05*0.004} )+(0.05*7000*\frac{0.035}{2} )=15.85Nm$

ii) The torque to lowering the load is:

$T=7000*\frac{0.03}{2} (\frac{\pi *0.05*0.03-0.004}{\pi *0.03+0.05*0.004} )+(0.05*7000*\frac{0.035}{2} )=6.91Nm$

iii)

$T=F\frac{d_{m} }{2} (\frac{u*\pi *d_{m}-L}{\pi *d_{m}+uL} )+u_{c} *F*\frac{d_{c}}{2}\\ 0=F\frac{d_{m} }{2} (\frac{u*\pi *d_{m}-L}{\pi *d_{m}+uL} )+u_{c} *F*\frac{d_{c}}{2}\\F\frac{d_{m} }{2} (\frac{u*\pi *d_{m}-L}{\pi *d_{m}+uL} )=-u_{c} *F*\frac{d_{c}}{2}\\\frac{d_{m} }{2} (\frac{u*\pi *d_{m}-L}{\pi *d_{m}+uL} )=-u_{c} *\frac{d_{c}}{2}\\\\\frac{0.03}{2} (\frac{u*\pi *0.03-0.004}{\pi *0.03+u*0.004} )=-0.05*\frac{0.035}{2}$

Clearing u:

u = -0.016

If a torque of M = 300 N⋅m is applied to the flywheel, determine the force that must be developed in the hydraulic cylinder CD t

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

866.1 N

Explanation:

The torque on the flywheel = 300 N-m

The force from the hydraulic cylinder will generate a moment on CA about point A.

The part of this moment that will be at point B about A must be proportional to the torque on the cylinder which is 300 N-m

we know that moment = F x d

where F is the force, and

d is the perpendicular distance from the turning point = 1 m

Equating, we have

300 = F x 1

F = 300 N this is the frictional force that stops the flywheel

From F = μN

where F is the frictional force

μ is the coefficient of static friction = 0.4

N is the normal force from the hydraulic cylinder

substituting, we have

300 = 0.4 x N

N = 300/0.4 = 750 N

This normal force calculated is perpendicular to CA. This actual force, is at 30° from the horizontal. To get the force from the hydraulic cylinder R, we use the relationship

N = R sin (90 - 30)

750 = R sin 60°

750 = 0.866R

R = 750/0.866 = 866.1 N

: The interior wall of a furnace is maintained at a temperature of 900 0C. The wall is 60 cm thick, 1 m wide, 1.5 m broad of mat

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Heat is lost at the rate of 750 J/s or W

The thermal resistance is 1 K/W

Explanation:

interior temperature $T_{2}$ = 900 °C

wall thickness t = 60 cm = 0.6 m

width = 1 m

breadth = 1.5 m

thermal conductivity k = 0.4 W/m-K

outside temperature $T_{1}$ = 150 °C

heat through the wall = ?

The area of the wall A = w x b = 1 x 1.5 = 1.5 m^2

Temperature difference $dt$ = $T_{2}$ - $T_{1}$ = 900 - 150 = 750 °C

note that $dt$ is also equal to 750 K since to convert from °C to K we'll have to add 273 to both temperature, which will still cancel out when we subtract the two temperatures.

To get the heat that escapes through the wall, we use the equation

Q = Ak $\frac{dt}{t}$
