A 4-m-long steel plate with a rectangular cross section (10 mm × 50 mm) is resting on a frictionless surface under the sun. The plate temperature is measured to be at 40°C. The plate is then moved into a cold room and is left to rest on a frictionless surface. After several hours, the plate temperature is measured to be at 5°C. The steel has a modulus of elasticity equal to 200,000 MPa and a coefficient of thermal expansion equal to 1.1 × 10–5 m/m/°C.

b. What tension load is needed to return the length to the original value of 4 meters?

At time t = 0 s, the cheetah begins to run due east toward an antelope that is 50 m to the east of the observer. During the first 2.0 s of the attack, the cheetah's coordinate x varies with time according to the equation x = 20 + 5t?. (a) Find the cheetah's displacement between t1 = 1.0 s and t2 = 2.0 s. (b) Find its average velocity during that interval. (c) Derive an expression for the cheetah's instantaneous velocity as a function of time, and use it to find Vy at t = 1.0 s and t = 2.0 s.arrow_forward

- 2-7 The force P applied at joint D of the square frame causes the frame to sway and form the dashed rhombus. Determine the average normal strain developed in wire AC. Assume the three rods are rigid. I understand how you calculate length LAC its just the sqrt(400^2+400^2) = 565.685mm. I do understand that you have to take LAC'-LAC/LAC to get .0258mm/mm. I'm just not understanding the cosine law used to calculate LAC'. I guess what I'm asking is why do you use cos instead of sin or tangent? I've been trying to understand why that was used for a bit now and it's probably something simple I'm forgetting. If you can, please clarify it in detail. Thank you so much!arrow_forwardTraffic flow on a three-lane (one direction) freeway can be described by the Greenshields model. One lane of the three lanes on a section of this freeway will have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take 2 hours. It is estimated that the capacity at the work zone will be reduced by 30 percent of that of the section just upstream of the work zone. The mean free flow speed of the highway is 70 mi/h and the jam density is 150 veh/mi/In. If it is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 85 percent of the capacity, using the deterministic approach, determine the following. (a) the maximum queue length (in veh) that will be formed veh (b) the total delay (in h) h (c) the number of vehicles that will be affected by the incident veh (d) the average individual delay (in min) minarrow_forwardNon-constant sections are used in bridges without changing the appearance of the bridge significantly.
