From section 3–12, the maximum shear stress in a solid round bar of diameter, d, due to an applied torque, t, is given by   3 16 / .   max  t d a round, cold-drawn 1018 steel rod is subjected to a mean torsional load of t=1.5 kn ? m with a standard deviation of 145 n • m. the rod material has a mean shear yield strength of ssy  312 mpa with a standard deviation of 23.5 mpa. assuming the strength and load have normal distributions, what value of the design factor nd corresponds to a reliability of 0.99 against yielding? determine the corresponding diameter of the rod.

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s.part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
