Answer:
the pressure gradient in the x direction = -15.48Pa/m
Explanation:
- The concept of partial differentiation was used in the determination of the expression for u and v.
- each is partially differentiated with respect to x and the appropriate substitution was done to get the value of the pressure gradient as shown in the attached file.
Answer:
The stress in the rod is 39.11 psi.
Explanation:
The stress due to a pulling force is obtained dividing the pulling force by the the area of the cross section of the rod. The respective area for a cylinder is:
Replacing the diameter the area results:
Therefore the the stress results:
Solution :
The nuclear reaction for boron is given as :
And the reaction for Cadmium is :
We know that it is easier that to shield or stop an alpha particle (i.e. He nucli) as they can be stopped or obstructed by only a few centimetres of the material. However, the gamma rays ( γ ) can penetrate through the material to a greater distance. Therefore, we can choose the first one.
