A silicon carbide test coupon, 100 mm long (L) by 8 mm wide (b) by 6 mm high (d) is tested in a three point bend flexure test. If the specimen fails at a load of 450 N, and a part of this material with the same dimensions is used in service to support a load of 400 N, can we be confident that no failure will occur

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.
