Can young modulus of elasticity equals modulus of rigidity?
For isotropic materials
G = E/ (2(1+u)
where u = poisson ratio
How do you calculate weight of mild steel when sectional area given?
Calculate the volume first by multiplying the cross sectional area with length.
Multiply the volume with density of mild steel which will give the weight.
The density of Mild steel is 7850 kg/ m3
e.g
Calculate the weight of 2 m rod having cross sectional area of 5 m2
Volume = 2x5 = 10 m3
Weight = 10 x 7850 = 78500 kg
Be specific that same units are used all around the calculations.
Why do railroad tracks have gravel?
To reduce the growth of weeds and for drainage. Also:
* It enables water to drain from the track
* It assists in helping control the thermal expansion of continues welded rail * As a train passes the rails it supports the train * it distributes the weight of the train from the track structure to the subgrade * maintains a smooth running surface for the train to run on
What is the Hardness of 1018 carbon steel?
Between 121-137 on the Brinell hardness scale - which is quite soft. The end parts are generally case-hardened before use to 60+ Rockwell "C".
Can you step up or step down the DC voltage by a transformer?
You need alternating current for a transformer, for DC you would have to interrupt the power supply to make it effectively DC pulses.
What is the difference between hydraulic and hydrostatic?
hydraulics uses the principle of hydrostatic pressure to work

Which came first - rubber or the eraser?
Rubber would have come first as an eraser is made out of rubber.
People used pieces of bread to erase mistakes long before they figured out that a piece of rubber would do the trick. Ancient Greeks and Romans had been using flat pieces of lead to draw on papyrus. By the 1400s, graphite had been discovered and, around a century later, the modern pencil began to take shape. Though the milky liquid that was produced by trees in tropical areas had been discovered centuries ago, it was only in the eighteenth century, that the substance "caoutchouc," which was used to create natural rubber, made its way to Europe. Sometime around 1750, it was suggested that the substance be used as an eraser. It was the scientist Joseph Priestley who proposed that the name of the substance be changed to "rubber," because it was used to rub pencil marks away.
What is the function of a differential pressure transmitter?
Pressure transmitters function by measuring the amount of pressure that is exerted on their sensors. It measures mechanical pressure and converts it to electrical signal.
What is the system used to describe wire sizes?
In North America the system used is AWG. American Wire Gauge.
Can you please send to me Turbine parts and function of each part shortly?
How are robots used to make cars?
Yes, a car is a machine. Look at the definition of Machine. "any mechanical or electrical device that transmits or modifies energy to perform or assist in the performance of human tasks" A car definitely fits that description.
How are voltage resistance and current related?
Current, voltage and resistance are related by the Ohm's law formula which states that current is directly proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance at a constant temperature.
Stated mathematically:
I = E/R
where I = current in amperes, abbreviated to A
E = voltage in volts, abbreviated to V
R = resistance in ohms, usually signified by the Greek omega Ω
How do you calculate a screw conveyor spiral?
I'm still looking for how to calculate or calibrate, but found a couple neat videos about how the spiral conveyor is made.
SSC - Shaftless Screw Conveyors
What is the relation between yield stress and allowable stress?
A factor of safety against yield is applied to design stress
Yield Stress/ Design Stress = Factor of safety
The factor of safety varies for different industries; 1.5 is used in structural steel design for buildings; 1.25 or even 1.1 for aircraft/space systems
What is effect on amplifier gain when is removed from the circuit?
It must (i) increase, or (ii) decrease, or (iii) stay the same.
If (iii), there's no point in having it at all,
so consider what happens to stage gain at the lowest frequencies, as the capacitor has less and less effect on the circuit.
An 'earth pit', is a pit in which connection is made between the earthing (grounding) electrodes that have been hammered into (or laid into) the soil, and the earthing conductor that connects the electrical installation to those earthing electrodes.
Which of these elements is a transition metal?
Transition metals are the elements with the atomic number: 21-30, 39-48, 57-80, 89-108.
What is the difference between a geometric constraint and a numetric constraint?
Dealing with engineering or CAD, a geometric constraint deals with constraints such as parallel or perpendicularity. A numeric constraint deals with distances and size. Width, length, and depth are examples of these.
--------
Geometric constraints are constant, non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure. Numeric constraints are number values, or What_is_the_difference_between_a_geometric_constraint_and_a_numeric_constraintequations that are used to control the size or location of a geometric figure :)
No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel. Certainly other elements can be added for different reasons, like chromium for the production of stainless steel. But it is iron and carbon that make steel.
Flow diagram of chilled water system?
You are probably referring to Absorption refrigeration. Try Google.
What does friction allow us to do?
In general, friction acts to prevent objects in contact with each other from moving with respect to each other. Friction keeps your furniture where you place it. The friction between your feet [or shoes] and the ground enables you to walk. When you apply the brakes in a car, friction causes the wheels to stop rotating . Friction holds a screw or nail into a board and a nut onto a bolt. Friction between your fingers and an object allows you to pick it up. Friction is proportional to surface roughness. A measurement of the force needed to overcome friction can be used as an indicator of a surface's roughness/smoothness.
When friction is used to reduce relative motion (or to get objects moving), a portion of energy needed to do so is dissipated in the form of heat. This is why a car's brakes get hot and why a nail pulled out of a board can feel warm. Usually, this heat is just a waste byproduct, but it can be useful. The friction of rubbing your hands together will warm them, and the heat of driving a nail into a board can be used to temporarily melt the adhesive on 'cement coated' nails.
