If the allowable stress is greater than the actual stress, the material is safe. True False
Flying Circus of Physics The figure shows an approximate plot of stress versus strain for a spider-web thread, out to the point of breaking at a strain of 2.20. The vertical axis scale is set by a = 0.190 GN/m²,b = 0.300 GN/m², and c = 0.720 GN/m². Assume that the thread has an initial length of 0.720 cm, an initial cross-sectional area of 4.00 x 10-12 m², and (during stretching) a constant volume. The strain on the thread is the ratio of the change in the thread's length to that initial length, and the stress on the thread is the ratio of the collision force to that initial cross-sectional area. Assume also that when the single thread snares a flying insect, the insect's kinetic energy is transferred to the stretching of the thread. (a) How much kinetic energy would put the thread on the verge of breaking? What is the kinetic energy of (b) a fruit fly of mass 7.50 mg and speed 2.00 m/s and (c) a bumble bee of mass 0.370 g and speed 0.800 m/s? Would (d) the fruit fly and (e) the bumble…
In patients suffering from asthma, the thickness of the airway walls increases. This thickening results in a reduction of the local shear modulus of the airways by as much as 50% compared to the airways of a healthy person. In a particular person, the local shear modulus is reduced by 21%. Assume that the frictional force due to the air flowing through the airways of this person during an asthma attack increases by a factor of 2.5 over that of a healthy person. Calculate the ratio ? of the shear strain on this person's airway to that of a healthy airway. ?=
