If not, what maximum torque is required of the design team assuming the 500 rpm is a design constraint (i.e., to be held constant)? Q Search DELL 4 ESParrow_forwardLet's translate and analyze the statements: The materials, for convenience, are separated into classes based on their constitution, arrangement of their atoms, and their properties. These classes, or groups, are: Metals or metallic materials. Ceramics or ceramic materials. Polymers or polymeric materials. Composites or composite materials. Each of these classes has materials with structures and properties different from the other classes. (CALLISTER JR., W. D.; RETHWISCH, D. G. Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction. 8th ed. Rio de Janeiro: LTC Publisher, 2013). Regarding the characteristics and properties of materials and considering their classification, judge the following statements: The class of metallic materials comprises those materials characterized by a wide range of melting temperatures and stiffness, as well as good thermal and electrical conductivity. Ceramic materials are notably characterized by their high melting temperatures and stiffness, which is…arrow_forward
