The force on an object divided by its cross section is called stress or pressure or pounds per square inch.

What best describes the vertical cross-section of the cylinder above?

The vertical cross-section of a cylinder is typically a rectangle. This rectangle's height corresponds to the height of the cylinder, while its width is equal to the diameter of the circular base. When viewed from the side, this cross-section highlights the uniformity of the cylinder's shape along its vertical axis.


Where will you find the maximum shear stress in a beam?

The maximum stress occurs where shear load is maximum and maximum stress is at the center of the beam cross section if loaded in shear due to bending. It drops to zero at the top and bottom surfaces. The average stress is load divided by area ; maximum stress is dependent on shape of cross section and is 1.5 times load divided by area at the cross section center for rectangular cross section. For shear due to twist, max shear stress in the outer surface.


What three factor affect the amount of air resistance on an object?

What has a circular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel?

A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.


If a rectangular pyramid is sliced by a plane as shown above best describes the cross-section of the pyramid W. X. Y. Z.?

The cross-section of a rectangular pyramid sliced by a plane will typically result in a polygonal shape. If the cutting plane is parallel to the base of the pyramid, the cross-section will be a smaller rectangle. If the plane intersects the sides at an angle, the resulting cross-section may be a trapezoid or a triangle, depending on the height at which the slice occurs. The specific shape can be described by points W, X, Y, and Z, which would represent the vertices of the cross-section.


Can the cross section of a cuboid be a trapezium?

What is the significance of CORE?

A transformer's windings are pre-wound around insulated 'formers' or tubes of circular cross section. To achieve maximum flux density, the core should ideally be of circular cross-section, too. A 'stepped core', then, describes the way in which the widths of the outer laminations of a transformer's core are progressively reduced ('stepped') in order to achieve a roughly-circular cross-section.

Is it possible to create a square cross section?

Yes a prism can have a square cross-section


Which conditions make resistance small?

The resistance of a wire is the length divided by the cross-section area and the conductivity of the material. So for small resistance you need a wire with short length, large cross-section area (diameter) and a material with high conductivity like copper.
