A 30-mm-diameter copper rod is 1 m long with a yield strength of 70 MPa. Determine the axial force necessary to cause the diamet
ivolga24 [154]

Explanation:

Given data:

d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

L = 1m

S_{y} = 70 Mpa

Δd = -0.0001d

Axial force = ?

validity of elastic deformation assumption.

Solution:

O'₂ = Δd/d = (-0.0001d)/d = -0.0001

For copper,

v = 0.326      E = 119×10³ Mpa

O'₁ = O'₂/v = (-0.0001)/0.326 = 306×10⁶

∵δ = F.L/E.A    and σ = F/A so,

σ = δ.E/L = O'₁ .E = (306×10⁻⁶).(119×10³) = 36.5 MPa

F = σ . A = (36.5 × 10⁻⁶) . (π/4 × (0.03)²) = 25800 KN

S_{y} = 70 MPa > σ = 36.5 MPa

∵ elastic deformation assumption is valid.

so the answer is

F = 25800 K N            and     S_{y} > σ

Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source. It is expensive to build a solar plant, but there is no fuel cost only mainten
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Energy production requires the setting up of a complete interconnected chain from generation of energy from the root source of the energy to the storage of the generated energy and the eventual utilization of the energy when required

Solar energy, indirectly, continues to be the main source of energy, however, the direct use of solar energy to power the systems we use in our everyday life, require the development of technologies, such as high efficiency solar cells, means of energy storage, and compatible efficient energy usage which are industrial areas that are seeing good progress but in which the current developed equipment are expensive to produce, and  due to their efficiency, are undergoing further research and development

Therefore, due to the continuous increasing improvement in solar technology which can observed, the use of the produced energy through solar is evolving, and therefore, will continue to play a continuously increasing but lower role compared to other sources of energy which have been developed to satisfactory level that can drive an industry, considering the financial investment involved
