Answer:
P = 4.745 kips
Explanation:
Given
ΔL = 0.01 in
E = 29000 KSI
D = 1/2 in
LAB = LAC = L = 12 in
We get the area as follows
A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²
Then we use the formula
ΔL = P*L/(A*E)
For AB:
ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB
For AC:
ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC
Now, we use the condition
ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in
⇒ ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in
Knowing that PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P
we have
(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in
⇒ P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

Answer:
- def median(l):
- if(len(l) == 0):
- return 0
- else:
- l.sort()
- if(len(l)%2 == 0):
- index = int(len(l)/2)
- mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
- else:
- mid = l[len(l)//2]
- return mid
-
- def mode(l):
- if(len(l)==0):
- return 0
-
- mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
- return mode
-
- def mean(l):
- if(len(l)==0):
- return 0
- sum = 0
- for x in l:
- sum += x
- mean = sum / len(l)
- return mean
-
- lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
- print(mean(lst))
- print(median(lst))
- print(mode(lst))
Explanation:
Firstly, we create a median function (Line 1). This function will check if the the length of list is zero and also if it is an even number. If the length is zero (empty list), it return zero (Line 2-3). If it is an even number, it will calculate the median by summing up two middle index values and divide them by two (Line 6-8). Or if the length is an odd, it will simply take the middle index value and return it as output (Line 9-10).
In mode function, after checking the length of list, we use the max function to estimate the maximum count of the item in list (Line 17) and use it as mode.
In mean function, after checking the length of list, we create a sum variable and then use a loop to add the item of list to sum (Line 23-25). After the loop, divide sum by the length of list to get the mean (Line 26).
In the main program, we test the three functions using a sample list and we shall get

Answer:
T = 15 kN
F = 23.33 kN
Explanation:
Given the data in the question,
We apply the impulse momentum principle on the total system,
mv₁ + ∑
= mv₂
we substitute
[50 + 3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [50 + 3(30)]×10³ × ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )
F( 75 - 0 ) = 1.75 × 10⁶
The resultant frictional tractive force F is will then be;
F = 1.75 × 10⁶ / 75
F = 23333.33 N
F = 23.33 kN
Applying the impulse momentum principle on the three cars;
mv₁ + ∑
= mv₂
[3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [3(30)]×10³ × ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )
F(75-0) = 1.125 × 10⁶
The force T developed is then;
T = 1.125 × 10⁶ / 75
T = 15000 N
T = 15 kN
