Since you became discouraged not being able to find a job in the San Diego area, you enlarged the area in which you looked for a

job with the result that the City of Porterville, in Tulare County, offered you a position as junior engineer. You are in the process of interviewing with the senior engineer for the city who has presented you with a situation to test your knowledge level. If water flows with a velocity of 9.85 ft/s in a rectangular channel that is 3 meters wide and has a depth of 9.84 feet.
Required:
What is the change in depth and water surface elevation that will result if a gradual contraction in the channel width to 8.5 feet occurs?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular  momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

H_o =r x mv=rxL

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change  of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular  momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af

0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega

And if we solve for \omega we got:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

When the rod is circular, radial lines remain straight and sections perpendicular to the axis do not warp. In this case, the str
Murljashka [212]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The solid rod shown is fixed to a wall, and a torque T = 85N?m is applied to the end of the rod. The diameter of the rod is 46mm .

When the rod is circular, radial lines remain straight and sections perpendicular to the axis do not warp. In this case, the strains vary linearly along radial lines. Within the proportional limit, the stress also varies linearly along radial lines. If point A is located 12 mm from the center of the rod, what is the magnitude of the shear stress at that point?

Solution :

Given data :

Diameter of the rod : 46 mm

Torque, T = 85 Nm

The polar moment of inertia of the shaft is given by :

$J=\frac{\pi}{32}d^4$

$J=\frac{\pi}{32}\times (46)^4$

J = 207.6 mm^4

So the shear stress at point  A is :

$\tau_A =\frac{Tc_A}{J}$

$\tau_A =\frac{85 \times 10^3\times 12 }{207.6}$

$\tau_A = 4913.29 \ MPa$

Therefore, the magnitude of the shear stress at point A is 4913.29 MPa.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Engineer A results will be more accurate

Explanation:

Analytical method is better than numerical method. Engineer A has used analytical method and therefore his results will be more accurate because he used simplified method. Engineer B has used software to solve the problem related to heat transfer his results will be approximate.
