A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s r

atio of 0.30. If this specimen is pulled in tension with a force of 60,000 N, what is the change in width if deformation is totally elastic?

Response: The width decreases by 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Clarification:

Given data;

Shear Modulus; E = 207 GPa = 207 × 10^(9) N/m²

Force; F = 60000 N.

Poisson’s ratio; υ = 0.30

The initial width is 20 mm, and the thickness is 40 mm.

Area = 20 × 10^(-3) × 40 × 10^(-3)

Area = 8 × 10^(-4) m²

The formula for shear modulus is;

E = σ/ε_z

where σ represents stress calculated as Force(F)/Area(A)

while ε_z stands for longitudinal strain.

Thus;

E = (F/A)/ε_z

ε_z = (F/A)/E

ε_z = (60,000/(8 × 10^(-4)))/(207 × 10^(9))

ε_z = 3.62 × 10^(-4)

Next, the lateral strain is given by;

ε_x = - υ × ε_z

ε_x = -0.3 × 3.62 × 10^(-4)

ε_x = -1.09 × 10^(-4)

The change in width can be determined as;

Δw = w_o × ε_x

Where w_o denotes the original width = 20 × 10^(-3) m

So; Δw = 20 × 10^(-3) × -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Δw = -2.18 × 10^(-6) m

A negative sign indicates a reduction in width.

Therefore, the width decreases by 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

ValentinkaMS [3465]

answer:

Let frictional forces due to both hands and feets be "Ff" each(since its given that they all are equal), acting in upward direction( in opposite direction of supposed motion).\\
Then since there is no motion of gymnast thus net frictional force due to both hands and feets will be exactly balanced by the weight of the gymnast,\\ i.e\\
4f_{f}=weight =mg\\
f_{f}=\frac{55x9.8}{4}\\
=134.75N

Sketch a position-time graph for a bear starting
Sav [3153]
Hopefully this clarifies things. The position remains unchanged over the span of 5 seconds, which indicates that it is at rest while time continues to pass. When the slope turns negative, it illustrates that the bear is moving backward, thus changing its direction.

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e., the length and radius have twice th
Softa [3030]

Response:

The new resistance is half of the original resistance.

Explanation:

Resistance in a wire is represented by:

R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

\rho = resistivity of the material

L and A are the physical dimensions

If a wire is exchanged for one where all linear dimensions are doubled, i.e. l' = 2l and r' = 2r

The updated resistance of the wire can be calculated as follows:

R'=\dfrac{\rho L'}{A'}

R'=\dfrac{\rho (2L)}{\pi (2r)^2}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}R

The new resistance equals half of the original resistance. Thus, this provides the solution needed.

Coulomb's law for the magnitude of the force FFF between two particles with charges QQQ and Q′Q′Q^\prime separated by a distance
kicyunya [3294]

Response:

Clarification:

The force between two charges, q₁ and q₂ at a distance d is represented by the formula

F = k q₁ q₂ / d²

Here, the force between charge q₁ = -15 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C with distance d = (1.66 - 1.24) = 0.42 mm

k = 1 / (4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Substituting the values into the equation

F = 1 / (4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²) x -15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x -15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²

= 35969.4 x 10⁻³ N.

For the force between charge q₂ = 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C at a distance d = (1.24 - 0) = 1.24 mm.

Substituting the values into the expression

F = 1 / (4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²) x 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²

= 9 x 10⁹ x -34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ / (0.42 x 10⁻³)²

= 82729.6 x 10⁻³ N

Both forces direct towards the left (away from the origin, towards the negative x-axis)

Total force = 118699 x 10⁻³

= 118.7 N.

Suppose that you measure the light of a star between 640 and 680 nm and you get a very strong peak around 650 nm. what can you s
kicyunya [3294]
The star is moving away from our planet. To elaborate on the Doppler shift: This phenomenon, related to the Doppler effect, is the variation in the perceived frequency or wavelength (color) of a wave when the source of the waves and the observer are in motion relative to one another. Consequently, it can be inferred that as an object recedes, it exhibits more redshift in its spectrum. For instance, when a star moves away, its spectral lines shift towards the red end of the spectrum, whereas if it approaches Earth, the spectral lines move towards blue. Given that the peak wavelength is roughly 650 nm—which is associated with red—it can be concluded that the star is indeed moving away from Earth.
