A properly fitted wearable pfd should have which characteristics

An automobile weighing 2500 lbf increases its gravitational potential energy by a magnitude of 2.25 × 104 Btu in going from an e

Mila [183]

Answer:

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.

Explanation:

The automobile weight is 2500 lbf.

The automobile increases its gravitational potential energy in $2.25 * 10^4 BTU$ . It means the mobile has increased its elevation.

The initial elevation is of 5183 ft.

The first step is to convert Btu of potential energy to adequate units to work with data previously presented.

British Thermal Unit - $1 BTU = 778.17 lbf*ft$

$2.25 * 10^4 BTU (\frac{778.17 lbf*ft}{1BTU} ) = 1.75 * 10^7 lbf * ft$

Now we have the gravitational potential energy in lbf*ft. Weight of the mobile is in lbf and the elevation is in ft. We can evaluate the expression for gravitational potential energy as follows:

$Ep = m*g*(h_2 - h_1)\\ W = m*g$

Where m is the mass of the automobile, g is the gravity, W is the weight of the automobile showed in the problem.

$h_2$ is the final elevation and $h_1$ is the initial elevation.

Replacing W in the Ep equation

$Ep = W*(h_2 -h_1)\\(h_2 -h_1) = \frac{Ep}{W} \\h_2 = h_1 + \frac{Ep}{W}\\\\$

Finally, the next step is to replace the variables of the problem.

$h_2 = 5183 ft + \frac{1.75 * 10^7 lbf*ft}{2500 lbf}\\h_2 = 5183 ft + 70003.5 ft\\h_2 = 12186.5 ft$

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.

An aluminum alloy tube with an outside diameter of 3.50 in. and a wall thickness of 0.30 in. is used as a 14 ft long column. Ass

slega [8]

Answer:

slenderness ratio = 147.8

buckling load = 13.62 kips

Explanation:

Given data:

outside diameter is 3.50 inc

wall thickness 0.30 inc

length of column is 14 ft

E = 10,000 ksi

moment of inertia $= \frac{\pi}{64 (D_O^2 -D_i^2)}$

$I = \frac{\pi}{64}(3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.894 in^4$

Area $= \frac{\pi}{4} (3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.015 in^2$

$radius = \sqrt{\frac{I}{A}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{3.894}{3.015}$

r = 1.136 in

slenderness ratio $= \frac{L}{r}$

$= \frac{14 *12}{1.136} = 147.8$

buckling load $= P_cr = \frac{\pi^2 EI}}{l^2}$

$P_{cr} = \frac{\pi^2 *10,000*3.844}{( 14\times 12)^2}$

$P_{cr} = 13.62 kips$

butalik [34]

Answer: d)Coercion

Explanation:Tool wear is defined as the situation when the cutting tool is subjected to the regular process of cutting metal then they tend to wear because of the continuous action of cutting and facing stresses and pressure . The mechanism that does not happen during this process are coercion that means the process of exerting forces on any material forcefully against the will or need. Therefore, adhesion,attrition and abrasion are the process of tool wear .So the correct option is (d)
