Consider a 40,000 km steel pipe in the shape of a ring that fits snuggly all around the circumference of the Earth. We are heati

ng now the ring so its temperature increased by 1 degree C. Now, the pipe will no longer be snug. How high the ring will now stand above ground level? (Make as many simplifications as necessary). Data: Coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 11*10-6 /degree C. This means, for example, that a 1-meter bar of steel that increases its temperature by 1 degree C will expand 11*10-6 meters (11 micrometers)

Answer:

The Height is  H = 70.02 m

Explanation:

We are given that the

                         Initial length is  = 40000\ Km = 40,000 *10^{3} m

from what we are told in the question the circumference of the circle is = 40,000 Km

  This means that the Radius would be :

         Let C denote the circumference

      So  

               C = 2 \pi r

      =>     r = \frac{C}{2 \pi}

               r = \frac{40,000}{2 \pi } = \frac{40,000*10^{3}}{2 *3.142}  = 6.365*10^6 m

We are told that 1-meter bar of steel that increases its temperature by 1 degree C will expand 11*10^{-6} meters

Hence

       The final length would be

                            40000*10^3 *(T + \alpha  )

Where T is the change in  temperature  \alpha is the Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

  let L_{final} denote the final length

   So

        L_{final} =40000*10^{6} *[1+ 11*10^{-6}]

                  = 40000440 \ m

 Now the Height is mathematically represented as

         Height(H) \ = \frac{change \ in \ radius \ }{2 \pi}

                       = \frac{(40000440-40000*10^3)}{2*3.142}

                       = 70.02m

Answer:

25m/s

Steps:

<em> First, The equation v= u + a * t shows us what we need to find, (the finale velocity). </em>

<em />

Second, we substitute the values given:

v= 9m/s + 4m/s2 * 4s

Last, We calculate the values:

Multiply 4m/s2 * 4s = 16m/s  

Add 9m/s + 16m/s

<u></u>

<u>Answer:  25m/s</u>

Hope this helps :)

In the design of wall and column forms, the two most important factors are which of the following? a. rate of placement of the c
Simora [160]

Answer:

c. length of the wall or column and the rate of placement of the concrete

Explanation:

when designing for wall and column form-works, it is of utmost important to know the length of the wall and the type of concrete placement to be used.

Concrete placement has methods and precaution to be taken when doing the  form work

if the concrete placement is manually (hand or funnel) the form work height should not be more than 1 m to enable easy compaction and vibration of concrete in the form.

Also, if the form work length is too long and it is not well reinforced, it tends to burg if the force apply during concrete placement or during vibration is much.
