which of the following processes would be appropriate for cutting a narrow slot, less than 0.015 inch wide, in a 3/8- inch thick

Elena-2011 [213]

Laser beam machining and water jet cutting are the following processes would be appropriate for cutting a narrow slot, less than 0.015 inch wide, in a 3/8- inch thick sheet of fiber-reinforced plastic. Hence option d and f is correct.

<h3>What is fiber reinforced plastic?</h3>

Fiber reinforced plastic is defined as a polymer-based composite material that is strengthened by fiber support. Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) are composite materials that use glass or carbon fibers as reinforcement and polymer resins as a matrix.

Because laser cutting is a far less aggressive and abrasive process than water jet cutting, it is much more accurate. A laser can carefully and safely cut materials as thin as 0.006 inches, whereas water jet cutters can't handle cutting through surfaces smaller than 0.02 inches.

Thus, laser beam machining and water jet cutting are the following processes would be appropriate for cutting a narrow slot, less than 0.015 inch wide, in a 3/8- inch thick sheet of fiber-reinforced plastic. Hence option d and f is correct.

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.6 mm; the spe

ankoles [38]

Answer:

F = 8849 N

Explanation:

Given:

Load at a given point = F = 4250 N

Support span = L = 44 mm

Radius = R = 5.6 mm

length thickness of tested material = 12 mm

First compute the flexural strength for circular cross section using the formula below:

σ $_{fs} = F_{f} L / \pi R^{3}$

σ = FL / π R³

Putting the given values in the above formula:

σ = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / π ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 (44 x 1 /1000 )) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 4250 ( 11 / 250 ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 1 / 1000 ) ³

= 187 / 3.141593 (0.0056)³

= 338943767.745358

= 338.943768 x 10⁶

σ = 338 x 10⁶ N/m²

Now we compute the load i.e. F from the following formula:

$F_{f}$ = 2 σ $_{fs}$ d³/3 L

F = 2σd³/3L

= 2(338 x 10⁶)(12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3(44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338 x 1000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 2 ( 338000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 12 x 1/1000 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 3 / 250 )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 676000000 ( 27 / 15625000 ) / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

= 146016 / 125 / 3 ( 44 x 1 / 1000 )

= ( 146016 / 125 ) / (3 ( 11 / 250 ))

= 97344 / 11

F = 8849 N

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer: There is a hydraulic jump

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the depth of flow downstream of the gate

y1 = $C_{c} y_{g}$ ----------- ( 1 )

Cc ( concentration coefficient ) = 0.61 ( assumed )

Yg ( depth of gate opening ) = 0.5

hence equation 1 becomes

y1 = 0.61 * 0.5 = 0.305 m

calculate the flow per unit width q

q = Q / b ----------- ( 2 )

Q = 10 m^3 /s

b = 2 m

hence equation 2 becomes

q = 10 / 2 = 5 m^2/s

next calculate the depth before hydraulic jump y2 by using the hydraulic equation

answer : where y1 < y2 hence a hydraulic jump occurs in the lined channel

attached below is the remaining part of the solution
