Chapter 8, Problem 1R
List the types of metal that a plasma torch can be used to cut.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The metals that are used to cut with plasma torch.
Explanation of Solution
Plasma is used as plasma welding as well as plasma cutting process. Plasma cutting is used to cut the metal without too much heat that will give distortion free cutting. This process can be used to cut thin metal sheet without any distortion or deflection. Plasma cutting machine is easy and portable to use as compare to oxyacetylene. This process is also very cheap process to cut the metal. Plasma machine can cut any type of metals such as:
- Stainless steel.
- Aluminum.
- Mild steel (4 mm to 150 mm thick).
- Stainless steel.
- Cast iron.

I had a theoretical question about attitude determination. In the attached images, I gave two axis and angles. The coefficient of the axes are the same and the angles are the same. The only difference is the vector basis. Lets say there is a rotation going from n hat to b hat. Then, you introduce a intermediate rotation s hat. So, I want to know if the DCM produced from both axis and angles will be the same or not. Does the vector basis affect the numerical value of the DCM? The DCM formula only cares about the coefficient of the axis and the angle. So, they should be the same right?
3-15. A small fixed tube is shaped in the form of a vertical helix of radius a
and helix angle y, that is, the tube always makes an angle y with the horizontal.
A particle of mass m slides down the tube under the action of gravity. If there is
a coefficient of friction μ between the tube and the particle, what is the steady-state
speed of the particle? Let y
γ
30° and assume that µ < 1/√3.
