A) The amount of space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 0.6048 cm

B) The stress in the rails on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

<h3>Linear Thermal Expansion</h3>

We are given;

Length; L = 14 m

Initial Temperature; T_i = −5 °C

Final Temperature; T_f = 31 °C

The formula for Linear Thermal Expansion is;

ΔL = L_i * α * ΔT

where;

L_i is initial length

α is thermal expansion

ΔL is change in length

ΔT is change in temperature

Now, the thermal expansion of steel from online tables is α = 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹

Thus;

ΔL = 14 * 1.2 × 10⁻⁵  * (31 - (-5))

ΔL = 6.048 × 10⁻³ m = 0.6048 cm

The formula to get the stress is;

σ = Y * α  * ΔT

where;

Y is young's modulus of steel = 20 × 10¹⁰ Pa

α is thermal expansion

ΔT is change in temperature

Thus;

σ = 20 × 10¹⁰ × 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ × (31 - (-5))

σ = 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

The complete question is;

Steel train rails are laid in 14.0-m long segments placed end to end. The rails are laid on a winter day when their temperature is −5 °C.

(a) How much space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

(b) If the rails are originally laid in contact, what is the stress in them on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

The scatterplot shows a reasonable linear trend between the Rainfall volume and run off.

The estimated regression equation obtained using a linear regression calculator is :

y = 0.834X - 1.58015

y = Runoff ; x = Rainfall volume

Slope = 0.8340 ; Intercept = - 1.5802

Point estimate for Runoff, when, x = 51

y = 0.834X - 1.58015

y = 0.834(51) - 1.58015

y = 40.95385

y = 40.9539

d.)

Point estimate for standard deviation :

s = 5.145

σ = s * √n

σ = √15 * 5.145

= 19.93

e.)

r² = Coefficient of determination gives the proportion of explained variance in Runoff due to the regression line. From the model output, the r² value = 0.9765. Which means That about 97.65% Runoff is due to Rainfall volume.

The stagnation chamber of a wind tunnel is connected to a high-pressure airbottle farm which is outside the laboratory building.
Natasha2012 [34]

This question is not complete, the complete question is;

The stagnation chamber of a wind tunnel is connected to a high-pressure air bottle farm which is outside the laboratory building. The two are connected by a long pipe of 4-in inside diameter. If the static pressure ratio between the bottle farm and the stagnation chamber is 10, and the bottle-farm static pressure is 100 atm, how long can the pipe be without choking? Assume adiabatic, subsonic, one-dimensional flow with a friction coefficient of 0.005

Answer:

the length of the pipe is 11583 in or 965.25 ft

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Static pressure ratio; p1/p2 = 10

friction coefficient f = 0.005

diameter of pipe, D =4 inch

first we obtain the value from FANN0 FLOW TABLE for pressure ratio of ( p1/p2 = 10 )so

4fL_{max} / D = 57.915

we substitute

(4×0.005×L_{max}) / 4  = 57.915

0.005L_{max} = 57.915

L_{max} = 57.915 / 0.005

L_{max}  = 11583 in

Therefore, the length of the pipe is 11583 in or 965.25 ft

How old are legos? Who created them? Why did they create them?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
“How old are the legos” 89 years old.


“Who created them?” Ole Kirk Christiansen.


“Why did they created them?” As a you man, Christiansen turned his love of whittling and playing with wood into a Business and, in 1916, he opened his own shop. Since times were so hard, Christiansen made the hard decision to use his wood to create inexpensive goods that might actually sell. Among them were Cheap toys.
