Explanation:

Okay soo-

Given-

u = 60 km/hr = 60×1000/3600=50/3 m/s

t = 20 s

s = 250 m

a = ?

v = ?

Solution -

Here, acceleration is uniform.

(a) According to 2nd kinematics equation,

s = ut + ½at^2

250 = 50/3 ×20 + 0.5×a×20×20

250-1000/3=200a

(750-1000)/3=200a

a = -250/(3×200)

a = -5/12

a = 0.4167 m/s^2

The required uniform acceleration of the car is 0.4167 m/s^2.

(b) According to 1st kinematics equation

v = u + at

v = 50/3 + (-5/12)×20

v = 50/3-25/3

v = 25/3

v = 8.33 m/s

The speed of the car as it passes the traffic light is 8.33 m/s.

Good luck!

The Energy Losses Associated with Valves and Fittings: a)- are generally associated with a K factor b)- are generally associated

madam [21]

Answer:

a)Are generally associated with factor.

Explanation:

We know that losses are two types

1.Major loss :Due to friction of pipe surface

2.Minor loss :Due to change in the direction of flow

As we know that when any hindrance is produced during the flow of fluid then it leads to generate the energy losses.If flow is along uniform diameter pipe then there will not be any loss but if any valve and fitting placed is the path of fluid flow due to this direction of fluid flow changes and it produce losses in the energy.

Lot' of experimental data tell us that loss in the energy due to valve and fitting are generally associated with K factor.These losses are given as

$Losses=K\dfrac{V^2}{2g}$

A 50 mm diameter shaft is subjected to a static axial load of 160 kN. If the yield stress of the material is 350 MPa, the ultima

zvonat [6]

In order to develop this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to fatigue and compression effort and Goodman equation, i.e, an equation that can be used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a materia.

With the given data we can proceed to calculate the compression stress:

$\sigma_c = \frac{P}{A}$

$\sigma_c = \frac{160*10^3}{\pi/4*0.05^2}$

$\sigma_c = 81.5MPa$

Through Goodman's equations the combined effort by fatigue and compression is expressed as:

$\frac{\sigma_a}{S_e}+\frac{\sigma_c}{\sigma_u}=\frac{1}{Fs}$

Where,

$\sigma_a=$ Fatigue limit for comined alternating and mean stress

$S_e =$ Fatigue Limit

$\sigma_c=$ Mean stress (due to static load)

$\sigma_u =$ Ultimate tensile stress

$Fs =$ Security Factor

We can replace the values and assume a security factor of 1, then

$\frac{\sigma_a}{320}+\frac{81.5}{400}=\frac{1}{1}$

Re-arrenge for $\sigma_a$

$\sigma_a = 254.8Mpa$

We know that the stress is representing as,

$\sigma_a = \frac{M_c}{I}$

Then,

Where $M_c$ =Max Moment

I= Intertia

The inertia for this object is

$I=\frac{\pi d^4}{64}$

Then replacing and re-arrenge for $M_c$

$M_c = \frac{\sigma_a*\pi*d^3}{32}$

$M_c = \frac{260.9*10^6*\pi*0.05^3}{32}$

$M_c = 3201.7N.m$

Thereforethe moment that can be applied to this shaft so that fatigue does not occur is 3.2kNm
