Explanation Given information: The mass ( m ) of shell is 6 kg . The mass of fragment A is 3 kg . The mass of B fragment is 2 kg . The mass of C fragment is 1 kg . The velocity ( v 0 ) of shell is ( 12 m / s ) i − ( 9 m / s ) j − ( 360 m / s ) k Calculation: Refer from Figure P14.24 in the textbook. Express the position vector of A as follows: r A = − 1.5 i Express the position vector of B as follows: r B = 4 i + 2j Express the position vector of C as: r C = − 3 j Express the position vector of A / D as follows: r A / D = − 1.5 i − 4k r A / D = 1.5 2 + 4 2 = 18.25 = 4.272 Express the position vector of B / D as follows: r B / D = 4 i + 2j − 4 k r B / D = 4 2 + 2 − ( 4 ) 2 = 16 + 4 + 16 = 6 Express the position vector of C / D as follows: r C / D = − 3 j − 4k r C / D = ( − 3 ) 2 − ( 4 ) 2 = 9 + 16 = 5 Find the unit vector along ( λ A ) using the relation as follows: λ A = 1 r A / D ( r A / D ) (1) Substitute 4.272 for r A / D and − 1.5 i − 4 k for r A / D in Equation (1). λ A = 1 4.272 ( − 1.5 i − 4 k ) Find the unit vector along ( λ B ) using the relation as follows: λ B = 1 r B / D ( r B / D ) (2) Substitute 6 for r B / D and 4 i + 2j − 4 k for r B / D in Equation (2). λ B = 1 6 ( 4 i + 2j − 4 k ) Find the unit vector along ( λ C ) using the relation as follows: λ C = 1 r C / D ( r C / D ) (3) Substitute 5 for r C / D and − 3 j − 4 k for r C / D in Equation (3). λ C = 1 5 ( − 3 j − 4 k ) Consider that the change in the elevation due to gravity is neglected. Then, the velocity vectors after the explosion have the unit vector direction

Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

4. In the figure, shaft A made of AISI 1010 hot-rolled steel, is welded to a fixed support and is subjected to loading by equal and opposite Forces F via shaft B. Stress concentration factors K₁ (1.7) and Kts (1.6) are induced by the 3mm fillet. Notch sensitivities are q₁=0.9 and qts=1. The length of shaft A from the fixed support to the connection at shaft B is 1m. The load F cycles from 0.5 to 2kN and a static load P is 100N. For shaft A, find the factor of safety (for infinite life) using the modified Goodman fatigue failure criterion. 3 mm fillet Shaft A 20 mm 25 mm Shaft B 25 mm
