PLease help- i seem to get the incorrect answer but didn't know where i have gone wrong? Problem: If each wing is to be 4.8m long and the lift force acts at 45% of the distance from the wing root, what will be the bending moment if the lift force is 9KN? What will be the bending stress if (Ixx = 1.8*10 power6 metres to the 10 ...continues
A mild steel shaft (modulus of elasticity = 210 GN/m2) has a stepped circular cross-section. Part A has a diameter of 75 mm and a length of 425 mm. Part B has a diameter of 60 mm and has a length of 375 mm. The shaft carries an axial tensile load of 65.0 kN. Determine: (a) The stress in Part A (b) The stress in Part B (c ...continues
The butt riveted joint shown below consists of two cover plates and three 8 mm diameter rivets in each main plate. (a) During testing, a tensile load is applied to the main plates. The load is increased until the joint fails at a load of 57.3 kN. Determine the ultimate shear stress of the rivet material. (see attachment fo ...continues
Aluminium alloy blanks are produced from sheet metal by a punching machine that generates a punching force of 30 kN. For sheet metal with a thickness of 3 mm the maximum diameter of the blanks is 13.0 mm. Determine. (a) The ultimate shear stress of the aluminium alloy. (b) The stress on the punch face. Please show work ...continues
A transmission shaft is fitted with a coupling that is secured by eight 20 mm diameter bolts pitched on a circle with a diameter of 225 mm. The bolt material has an ultimate shear stress of 280 MN/m2 and a factor of safety of 4.0 is to be used. If the power being transmitted is 1.8 MW, determine the working speed of the shaft in ...continues
An aircraft accelerates uniformly from rest down a runway. After a distance of 800m, the aircraft reaches its take-off speed of 288 km/h. (a) What is the acceleration of the aircraft (in m/s2)? (b) How long does it take the aircraft to reach its take-off speed? Please provide workings and solutions.
An aeroplane is fitted with an altimeter calibrated assuming the atmosphere meets the ISA specification. On a day when sea level pressure and temperature are 101,500 N/m2 and 25 degrees the altimeter reads 5000m. What is the true altitude of the plane above sea level? What would be the indicated altitude after landing at an aero ...continues
