Answer:

The correct answer is B. Steel.

Explanation:

Steel is a material that is used for the construction of buildings with anti-seismic protections, since due to the hardness and flexibility of this metal it allows the structures built with it to resist the attacks of different natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.

Therefore, when constructing buildings with a view to preventing possible damage caused by natural disasters, steel is used for the construction of foundations and structures, together with concrete.

A 3-ft-diameter vertical cylindrical tank open to the atmosphere contains 1-ft-high water. The tank is now rotated about the cen
arlik [135]

Answer:

The angular velocity is 7.56 rad/s

the maximum water height is 2 ft

Explanation:

The z-position as a function of r is equal to

z_{s(r)} =h_{0} -\frac{w^{2}(R^{2}-2r^{2}   }{4g} (eq. 1)

where

h0 = initial height = 1 ft

w = angular velocity

R = radius of the cylinder = 1.5 ft

zs(r) = 0 when the free surface is lowest at the centre

Replacing and clearing w

w=\sqrt{\frac{4gh_{0} }{R^{2} } } =\sqrt{\frac{4*32.17*1}{1.5^{2} } } =7.56rad/s

if you consider the equation 1 for the free surface at the edge is equal to

z_{s(R)} =h_{0} +\frac{w^{2}R^{2}   }{4g} =1+\frac{(7.56^{2})*(1.5^{2} ) }{4*32.17} =1.99ft=2ft

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa √m (50 ksi √in.). If, during
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

0.024 m = 24.07 mm

Explanation:

1) Notation

\sigma_c = tensile stress = 200 Mpa

K = plane strain fracture toughness= 55 Mpa\sqrt{m}

\lambda= length of a surface crack (Variable of interest)

2) Definition and Formulas

The Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling force. It is customarily measured in units (F/A), like the pressure. Is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of materials and structural engineering.

By definition we have the following formula for the tensile stress:

\sigma_c=\frac{K}{Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}}   (1)

We are interested on the minimum length of a surface that will lead to a fracture, so we need to solve for \lambda

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}

\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}=K   (2)

Sequaring both sides of equation (2):

(\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda})^2=(K)^2  

\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi\lambda=K^2   (3)

Dividing both sides by \sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi we got:

\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{K}{Y\sigma_c}]^2   (4)

Replacing the values into equation (4) we got:

\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{55 Mpa\sqrt{m}}{1.0(200Mpa)}]^2 =0.02407m

3) Final solution

So the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture, would be 24.07 mm or more.

1. Examine the following circuit. Find RT, I3, R1, R2, R3, V1, V2 and V3. Show all of your work clearly below.
Mkey [24]

Explanation:

Ohm's law is used here. V = IR, and variations. The voltage across all elements is the same in this parallel circuit. (V1 =V2 =V3)

The total supply current is the sum of the currents in each of the branches. (It = I1 +I2 +I3)

Rt = (8 V)/(8 A) = 1 Ω . . . . supply voltage divided by supply current

I3 = 8A -3A -4A = 1 A . . . . supply current not flowing through other branches

R1 = (8 V)/(3 A) = 8/3 Ω

R2 = (8 V)/(4 A) = 2 Ω

R3 = (8 V)/(I3) = (8 V)/(1 A) = 8 Ω

V1 = V2 = V3 = 8 V
