Answer:
2.135
Explanation:
Lets make use of these variables
Ox 16.5 kpsi, and Oy --14,5 kpsi
To determine the factor of safety for the states of plane stress. We have to first understand the concept of Coulomb-Mohr theory.
Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress.
Please refer to attachment for the step by step solution.
I attached a photo that explains and gives the answer to your questions. Had to add a border because the whole picture didn’t fit.
Answer:
Step On: Your foot forces the clutch pedal down and then causes it to take up the slack. This, in turn, causes the clutch friction disk to slip, creating heat and ultimately wearing your clutch out.
Step Off: When the clutch pedal is released, the springs of the pressure plate push the slave cylinder's pushrod back, which forces the hydraulic fluid back into the master cylinder.
