The distribution of ground shaking around the fault

1 answer:

6 0

Ground shaking is a term used to describe the vibration of the ground during an earthquake. Ground shaking is caused by body waves and surface waves. As a generalization, the severity of ground shaking increases as magnitude increases and decreases as distance from the causative fault increases.

An FPC 4 m2 in area is tested during the night to measure the overall heat loss coefficient. Water at 60 C circulates through th

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<em> - 14.943 W/m^2K ( negative sign indicates cooling ) </em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of FPC = 4 m^2

temp of water = 60°C

flow rate = 0.06 l/s

ambient temperature = 8°C

exit temperature = 49°C

<u>Calculate the overall heat loss coefficient </u>

Note : heat lost by water = heat loss through convection

m*Cp*dT = h*A * ( T - To )

∴ dT / T - To = h*A / m*Cp ( integrate the relation )

In ( $\frac{49-8}{60-8}$ ) = h* 4 / ( 0.06 * 10^-3 * 1000 * 4180 )

In ( 41 / 52 ) = 0.0159*h

hence h = - 0.2376 / 0.0159

= - 14.943 W/m^2K ( heat loss coefficient )

A rod that was originally 100-cm-long experiences a strain of 82%. What is the new length of the rod?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: (b)

Explanation:

Given

Original length of the rod is $L=100\ cm$

Strain experienced is $\epsilon=82\%=0.82$

Strain is the ratio of the change in length to the original length

$\Rightarrow \epsilon =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.82=\dfrac{\Delta L}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=82\ cm$

Therefore, new length is given by (Considering the load is tensile in nature)

$\Rightarrow L'=\Delta L+L\\\Rightarrow L'=82+100=182\ cm$

Thus, option (b) is correct.

A cylindrical bar of metal having a diameter of 20.2 mm and a length of 209 mm is deformed elastically in tension with a force o

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

A) ΔL = 0.503 mm

B) Δd = -0.016 mm

Explanation:

A) From Hooke's law; σ = Eε

Where,

σ is stress

ε is strain

E is elastic modulus

Now, σ is simply Force/Area

So, with the initial area; σ = F/A_o

A_o = (π(d_o)²)/4

σ = 4F/(π(d_o)²)

Strain is simply; change in length/original length

So for initial length, ε = ΔL/L_o

So, combining the formulas for stress and strain into Hooke's law, we now have;

4F/(π(d_o)²) = E(ΔL/L_o)

Making ΔL the subject, we now have;

ΔL = (4F•L_o)/(E•π(d_o)²)

We are given;

F = 50500 N

L_o = 209mm = 0.209m

E = 65.5 GPa = 65.5 × 10^(9) N/m²

d_o = 20.2 mm = 0.0202 m

Plugging in these values, we have;

ΔL = (4 × 50500 × 0.209)/(65.5 × 10^(9) × π × (0.0202)²)

ΔL = 0.503 × 10^(-3) m = 0.503 mm

B) The formula for Poisson's ratio is;

v = -(ε_x/ε_z)

Where; ε_x is transverse strain and ε_z is longitudinal strain.

So,

ε_x = Δd/d_o

ε_z = ΔL/L_o

Thus;

v = - [(Δd/d_o)/(ΔL/L_o)]

v = - [(Δd•L_o)/(ΔL•d_o)]

Making Δd the subject, we have;

Δd = -[(v•ΔL•d_o)/L_o]

We are given v = 0.33; d_o = 20.2mm

So,

Δd = -[(0.33 × 0.503 × 20.2)/209]

Δd = -0.016 mm
