Q 7313c7c859-sec2 - Find the Minimum diameter of a steel wire, which is used to raise a load of 4000 N if the stress is not exceed 95MN/sq(m)?A. 0.732mmB. 0.732cmC. 0.732 mD. 7.32 mm
Answer - BDetail - Stress = 95 x 10^6 N/sq(m) = 95 N/sq(mm) = force/Area alsoArea = Force/Stress = 4000/95 =42.105 sq(mm)alsoArea = 0.785xdiameterxdiameterhencediameter = (42.105/0.7850^0.5 =(53.64)^0.5 =7.32 mm = 0.732 cm
Q 8d79ed5b58-sec2 - A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20kN. If the modulus of elasticity of the material of the rod is 2 x 10^5 N/Sq(mm) ; determine : the elongation in rod?A. 0.477cmB. 0.00477cmC. 0.0477cmD. 0.000477cm
Answer - CDetail - elongation of rod = original length x strain, we know that original length is equal to 150cmstrain = stress/modulus of elasticity = force/ Area x modulus of elasticity = 20000/(0.785 x 20 x 20 x 200000) = 0.000318 by putting value of strain in elongation formula we getelongation of rod = strain x original length = 0.000318 x 150 = 0.0477 cm
Q 58bb4c50be-sec2 - A rod of 150cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pullof 20kN. If the modulus of elasticity of the material of the rod is 2 x 10^5 N/sq(mm), determine strain?A. 0.000318B. 0.00318C. 0.0000318D. 0.0318
Answer - ADetail - we know that, Modulus of elasticity is stress/strain,stress is equal to force/area, hence by putting value of Area = 0.785 x diameter x diameter, and force is equal to 20000 N, we get stress equal to 63.662 N/sq(mm),now, from the equation of hookes law,strain = stress/modulus of elasticity = 63.662/200000 = 0.000318
Q 0caf6cbdda-sec2 - A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20kN. If the modulus of elasticity of the material of the rod is 2 x 10^5 N/Sq(mm) ; determine : the stress?A. 63.600 N/sq(mm)B. 63.500 N/sq(mm)C. 63.662 N/sq(mm)D. 63.562 N/sq(mm)
Answer - CDetail - Area of Rod:- (π/4)(radius^2) :- 100π sq(mm),now,Stress= Force/Area = 20000/100π = 63.662 N/sq(mm)
