Working of a Half wave rectifier
The diode is connected in series with the secondary of the transformer and the load resistance RL. The primary of the transformer is being connected to the ac supply mains. The ac voltage across the secondary winding changes polarities after every half cycle of the input wave.
Answer:
τ = 132.773 lb/in² = 132.773 psi
Explanation:
b = 12 in
F = 60 lb
D = 3.90 in (outer diameter) ⇒ R = D/2 = 3.90 in/2 = 1.95 in
d = 3.65 in (inner diameter) ⇒ r = d/2 = 3.65 in/2 = 1.825 in
We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.
Then we get
Mt = b*F*Sin 30°
⇒ Mt = 12 in*60 lb*(0.5) = 360 lb-in
Now we find ωt as follows
ωt = π*(R⁴ - r⁴)/(2R)
⇒ ωt = π*((1.95 in)⁴ - (1.825 in)⁴)/(2*1.95 in)
⇒ ωt = 2.7114 in³
then the principal stresses in the pipe at point A is
τ = Mt/ωt ⇒ τ = (360 lb-in)/(2.7114 in³)
⇒ τ = 132.773 lb/in² = 132.773 psi
