The inverted U-tube is used to measure the pressure difference between two points A and B in an inclined pipeline through which

water flows. The differenceof level h=0.4m ; X=0.2; and Y=0.3m. Calculate the pressure difference between point B and A if the top of the manometer is filled with:
i) Air
ii) paraffin of relative density of 0.75

Answer:

i) 0.610 m or 610 mm

ii) 0.4 m or 400 mm

Explanation:

The pressure difference between the pipes is

a) Air

Pa + πha +Ha = Pb + πhb +Hb

Pa - Pb = π(hb-ha) + Hb-Ha

Relative density of air = 1.2754 kg /m3

Pa - Pb = 1.2754 * 0.4 + (0.3-0.2) = 0.610 m or 610 mm

b) paraffin of relative density of 0.75

Pa - Pb = π(hb-ha) + Hb-Ha

Pa - Pb = 0.75 * 0.4 + (0.3-0.2) = 0.4 m or 400 mm

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2}  }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2}    }

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2}  }

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

\sigma _{p1}  +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi (equation 1)

\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero

How to draw the output voltage waveform rectifier
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.

AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.

DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.

Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.

Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.

The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
