CLO 1: A rigid beam rests on two bronze bars 700 mm long. Another aluminum bar is placed between them which is 699.93 mm long. If the allowable stresses are Salum = 90 MPa and Sbronze = 80 MPa, find the maximum weight of the beam that the system can support (in KN). Note: please help us in this sample problem
2.41 The device shown consists of a disk that is rotated by a shaft. The disk is positioned very close to a solid boundary. Be- tween the disk and the boundary is viscous oil. a. If the disk is rotated at a rate of 1 rad/s, what will be the ra- tio of the shear stress in the oil at r = 2 cm to the shear stress at r = 3 cm? b. If the rate of rotation is 2 rad/s, what is the speed of the oil in contact with the disk atr = 3 cm? c. Ifthe oil viscosity is 0.01 N s/m² and the spacing y is 2 mm, what is the shear stress for the conditions noted in part (b)? 2 Pipe Oil film Cylinder PROBLEM 2.40
