Chapter 15, Problem 8ICA
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) defines safety regulations on working environments to protect workers from unsafe conditions. The following flowchart shows how OSHA categorizes the safety level of the working temperature given the environmental temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Given the flowchart, for what range of heat index (in degrees Fahrenheit) will the risk level be Lower (Caution), Moderate, High, or Very High to Extreme?

The winch at C has a mass of 36.5 kg. The tension in the rope acts on the beam at points B and C and counteracts the moments due to the beam's weight (acting vertically at the midpoint of its length) and the weight of the winch (acting vertically at point C) such that the resultant moment about point A is equal to zero. Assume that rope segment CD is vertical and note that rope segment BD is NOT necessarily perpendicular to the beam. a.) Compute the tension in the rope. b.) Model the two forces the rope exerts on the beam as a single equivalent force and couple moment acting at point B. Enter your answer in Cartesian components. c.) Model the two forces the rope exerts on the beam as a single equivalent force (no couple) and determine the distance from A to the point along the beam where the equivalent force acts (measured parallel to the beam from A ). Enter your answer…arrow_forwardw1 Three distributed loads act on a beam as shown. The load between A and B increases linearly from 0 to a maximum intensity of w₁ = 12.8 lb/ft at point B. The load then varies linearly with a different slope to an intensity of w₂ = 17.1 lb/ft at C. The load intensity in section CD of the beam is constant at w3 10.2 lb/ft. For each load region, determine the resultant force and the location of its line of action (distance to the right of A for all cases). cc 10 BY NC SA 2016 Eric Davishahl = WI W2 W3 -b- C Values for dimensions on the figure are given in the following table.

Under the heat supply the temperature of the rod changes along x with the temperature function T (x). The temperature T (x) is governed by the d following equations: − dx (q(x)) + h(x) = 0 PDE q(x) =−k dT dx Fourier’s law of heat conduction (4) where q(x) is the heat flux through the rod and k is the (constant) thermal conductivity. Both ends of the bar are in contact with a heat reservoir at zero temperature. Determine: 1. Appropriate BCs for this physical problem. 2. The temperature function T (x). 3. The heat flux function q(x). Side Note: Please see that both ends of bar are in contact with a heat reservoir at zero temperature so the boundary condition at the right cannot be du/dx=0 because its not thermally insulated. Thank youarrow_forwardThe elastic bar from Problem 1 spins with angular velocity ω about an axis, as shown in the figure below. The radial acceleration at a generic point x along the bar is a(x) = ω2x. Under this radial acceleration, the bar stretches along x with displacement function u(x). The displacement d u(x) is governed by the following equations: dx (σ(x)) + ρa(x) = 0 PDE σ(x) = E du dx Hooke’s law (2) where σ(x) is the axial stress in the rod, ρ is the mass density, and E is the (constant) Young’s modulus. The bar is pinned on the rotation axis at x = 0 and it is also pinned at x = L. Determine: 1. Appropriate BCs for this physical problem. 2. The displacement function u(x). 3. The stress function σ(x). SIDE QUESTION: I saw a tutor solve it before but I didn't understand why the tutor did not divide E under the second term (c1x) before finding u(x).
