Which of the following answer options is a hazard in using scaffolding?​

Engineering
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

One of the most common injuries that result from working on a scaffold is electrocution. If workers make contact with those wires while working, it can lead to electric shock, especially if that contact damages the wire or if the scaffold is made of metal.

Five bolts are used in the connection between the axial member and the support. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 320
lesya [120]

Answer:

The minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN is 45.7 milimeters.

Explanation:

The complete statement of this question is "Five bolts are used in the connection between the axial member and the support. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 320 MPa, and a factor of safety of 4.2 is required with respect to fracture. Determine the minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN"

Each bolt is subjected to shear forces. In this case, safety factor is the ratio of the ultimate shear strength to maximum allowable shear stress. That is to say:

n = \frac{S_{uts}}{\tau_{max}}

Where:

n - Safety factor, dimensionless.

S_{uts} - Ultimate shear strength, measured in pascals.

\tau_{max} - Maximum allowable shear stress, measured in pascals.

The maximum allowable shear stress is consequently cleared and computed: (n = 4.2, S_{uts} = 320\times 10^{6}\,Pa)

\tau_{max} = \frac{S_{uts}}{n}

\tau_{max} = \frac{320\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{4.2}

\tau_{max} = 76.190\times 10^{6}\,Pa

Since each bolt has a circular cross section area and assuming the shear stress is not distributed uniformly, shear stress is calculated by:

\tau_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{V}{A}

Where:

\tau_{max} - Maximum allowable shear stress, measured in pascals.

V - Shear force, measured in kilonewtons.

A - Cross section area, measured in square meters.

As connection consist on five bolts, shear force is equal to a fifth of the applied load. That is:

V = \frac{P}{5}

V = \frac{450\,kN}{5}

V = 90\,kN

The minimum allowable cross section area is cleared in the shearing stress equation:

A = \frac{4}{3}\cdot \frac{V}{\tau_{max}}

If V = 90\,kN and \tau_{max} = 76.190\times 10^{3}\,kPa, the minimum allowable cross section area is:

A = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{90\,kN}{76.190\times 10^{3}\,kPa}

A = 1.640\times 10^{-3}\,m^{2}

The minimum allowable cross section area can be determined in terms of minimum allowable bolt diameter by means of this expression:

A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}

The diameter is now cleared and computed:

D = \sqrt{\frac{4}{\pi}\cdot A}

D =\sqrt{\frac{4}{\pi}\cdot (1.640\times 10^{-3}\,m^{2})

D = 0.0457\,m

D = 45.7\,mm

The minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN is 45.7 milimeters.

There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 12 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

  16 minutes

Explanation:

This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.

The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."

Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...

  (4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min

The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.

You can write two equations for height:

  y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)

  y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . .  height in feet after x minutes (tank B)

These will be equal when ...

  y = y

  12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x

  4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8

  16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height

The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.

Write a iterative function that finds the n-th integer of the Fibonacci sequence. Then build a minimal program (main function) t
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Codes for each of the problems are explained below

Explanation:

PROBLEM 1 IN C++:

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

//fib function that calculate nth integer of the fibonacci sequence.

void fib(int n){

  // l and r inital fibonacci values for n=1 and n=2;

  int l=1,r=1,c;

 

  //if n==1 or n==2 then print 1.

  if(n==1 || n==2){

      cout << 1;

      return;

  }

  //for loop runs n-2 times and calculates nth integer of fibonacci sequence.

  for(int i=0;i<n-2;i++){

      c=l+r;

      l=r;

      r=c;

      cout << "(" << i << "," << c << ") ";

  }

  //prints nth integer of the fibonacci sequence stored in c.

  cout << "\n" << c;

}

int main(){

  int n; //declared variable n

  cin >> n; //inputs n to find nth integer of the fibonacci sequence.

  fib(n);//calls function fib to calculate and print fibonacci number.

}

PROBLEM 2 IN PYTHON:

def fib(n):

   print("fib({})".format(n), end=' ')

   if n <= 1:

       return n

   else:

       return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)

if __name__ == '__main__':

   n = int(input())

   result = fib(n)

   print()

   print(result)

A community plans to build a facility to convert solar radiation to electrical power. The community requires 2.80 MW of power, a
Greeley [361]

Given Information:  

Output power required = Pout = 2.80 MW

Efficiency = η = 30%

Intensity = I = 1180 W/m²

Required Information:  

Effective area = A = ?

Answer:  

Effective area = A = 7.907x10³ m²

Step-by-step explanation:  

A community plans to build a facility to convert solar power into electrical power and this facility has an efficiency of 30%

As we know efficiency is given by

η = Pout/Pin

Where Pout is the output power and Pin is the input power.

Pin = Pout/η

Pin = 2.80x10⁶/0.30

Pin = 9.33x10⁶ W

The effective area of a perfectly absorbing surface used in such an installation can be found using

A = Pin/I

Where I is the in Intensity of the sunlight in W/m²

A = 9.33x10⁶/1180

A = 7.907x10³ m²

Therefore, the effective area of the absorbing surface would be 7.907x10³ m².
