Chapter 6.2, Problem 1CC
We use SOLVEM to complete this problem in the Comprehension Checks in this chapter. Create a sketch for the following problem. Calculate the mass in kilograms of gravel stored in a rectangular bin 18.5 feet by 25.0 feet. The depth of the gravel bin is 15 feet, and the density of the gravel is 97 pound-mass per cubic foot.

Hi, I need help with the first part of the problem below because I'm very confused about how P1 and P2 should be calculated. If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon?

Learning Goal:
To calculate the principal stresses and maximum
in-plane shear stress for a plane state of stress.
The normal and shear stresses for a state of stress
depend on the orientation of the axes. For a general
plane state of stress, there is one orientation where
the two normal stresses are a maximum and
minimum and the shear stresses on the faces of
the element are zero. The two normal stresses 01
and 2 are known as principal stresses. The
directions of the faces on which the principal
stresses act are known as the principal planes. The
principal stresses can be calculated using the
following formula:
σ1,2 =
Tmax =
O₂ + Oy

The maximum in-plane shear stress occurs on a
plane that is 45° away from the principal planes.
The average normal stress on this plane is

I was going over the equations for the notes in class and I had a thought. Based on the equations in the image, you could get negative propellant mass. So, I coded it in matlab and I got negative mass. How is that possible? I think I used practical values for the velocity and mass ratio and so on. Did I do something wrong?

- 3) Body mass index (BMI) of a person is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. In U.S. customary units it is calculated by: BMI = 703" %D where W is the person's weight in pounds and h is the heights in inches. Write a MATLAB program in a script file that calculates the BMI. For input the program asks the user to enter his/her weight and height. The pro- gram then calculates the BMI rounded to the nearest tenth. For output the program displays the message: "The BMI is: XX." where XX is the value of the BMI. Determine the BMI of a 68-in.-tall person that weigh162 lb.arrow_forwardI am trying to practice this problem using a checker online, but everytime I recalculate my answer it always says it's incorrect.

Show all your calculation, how you cancel the units and use the correct number of digits to get credit. Use scientific notation.

The normal and shear stresses for a state of stress depend on the orientation of the axes. If the stresses are given in one coordinate system (Figure 1), the equivalent stresses in a rotated coordinate system (Figure 2) can be calculated using a set of transformation equations. Both sets of stresses describe the same state of stress. In order to use the transformation equations, a sign convention must be chosen for the normal stresses, shear stresses, and the rotation angle. For the equations below, a positive normal stress acts outward on a face. A positive Try acts in the positive y-direction on the face whose outward normal is in the positive x-direction. The positive direction for the rotation is also shown in the second figure. The stresses in the rotated coordinate system are given by the following equations: στ σy + cos 20+Try sin 20 2 2 σετ συ = σy' cos 20-Try…arrow_forwardA motorcyclist left from his work at 5:45 in the morning and arrived at the coffee shop 42 km away at 7:12 in the morning.
