Fb = weight of the body displaced
We also know that
Fb = ρvg

Width of box = D = 205mm
Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8ms−2

Required

Submerged depth of body = ?

Solution

The apparent weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the
liquid displaced by the body

Liquid displaced = vρg

V = volume of liquid displaced

w = ρgv

225 = v(1030)(9.8)

225 = v(10094)

v = 225/10094

v = 22.2 × 10−3 m3

Now we have to find the depth of submerged body = ?

We know that volume of the body

Solution

According to formula we know that L2 = L1 [1 + α(t 2 − t1 )]

L2 = 25[1 + 12 × 10−6 (563 − 292 )]

Data

Initial length of line = L1 = 90m

Initial temperature of transmission line = t1 = 16℃ = 289k

Final length of transmission line = L2 = 90m

Required

Coefficient of linear expansion = α = ?

Solution

According to formula we know that L2 = L1 [1 + α(t 2 − t1 )]

95 = 90[1+∝ (328 − 289)]

95 = 90+∝ (90)(39)
95 − 90 = ∝ (90)(39)

ac = centripetal acceleration

We know that

∑ Fy = 0

T cos θ − mg = 0

T cos θ = mg

T = mg/ cos θ − − − − − − − − − −EQ2

Put EQ2 in EQ1

mg(sinθ)/(cosθ) = mv 2 /r

g(sinθ)/(cosθ) = v 2 /r

g(tanθ) = v 2 /r
(tanθ) = v 2 /gr

(tanθ) = (rω)2 /gr

(tanθ) = r 2 ω2 /gr

(tanθ) = rω2 /g

(tanθ) = (lsinθ)(ω2 )/g where r = lsinθ

(sinθ/cosθ) = (lsinθ)(ω2 )/g

(1/cosθ) = (l)(ω2 )/g

cosθ = g/ω2 l

cosθ = 9.8/(6)2 (2.2)

cosθ = 9.8/79.2

cosθ = 0.123

θ = 82.89°

Now we have to find the tension so from EQ2

T = mg/ cos θ

T = (0.4)(9.8)/ cos(82.89)

Activity 1
Task

(a)

copper

Copper is chemical element

Cu is symbol

Atomic Number 29
Soft, malleable, ductile, high thermal resistance

Iron

Iron is chemical element.

Atomic Number is 29.

Symbol is Fe

Its element of first transition series.

Graphite

Graphite has a layered, planar structure. The individual layers are

called graphene. In each layer, the carbon atoms are arranged in
a honeycomb lattice with separation of 0.142 nm, and the distance
between planes is 0.335 nm. ... The fourth electron is free to
migrate in the plane, making graphite electrically conductive

(b)

Due to four characteristics of copper over other two metals(iron,

graphite) we use copper for electronic wiring.

• Due to its high conductivity.

• Cheaper than other.
• High conductivity.
• High thermal resistance.
Degradation is actually corrosion. Corrosion is defined as the chemical
reaction of metal with environment. The corrosion of iron, better
known as rusting, is an oxidation-reduction process that
destroys iron objects left out in open, moist air. some degradation
types in iron are

• Uniform corrosion
• Pitting corrosion
• Crevice corrosion
• Intergranular corrosion
• Stress corrosion cracking

How to avoid degradation of iron

1. Metal Type. One simple way to prevent corrosion is to use
a corrosion resistant metal such as aluminum or stainless steel.
2. Protective Coatings. The application of a paint coating is a cost-
effective way of preventing corrosion.
3. Environmental Measures.
4. Sacrificial Coatings. ...
5. Corrosion Inhibitors. ...
6. Design Modification.
.

Magnetic hysteresis occurs when an external magnetic field is

applied to a ferromagnet such as iron and the atomic dipoles align
themselves with it. Even when the field is removed, part of the
alignment will be retained: the material has become magnetized. Once
magnetized, the magnet will stay magnetized indefinitely.
To demagnetize it requires heat or a magnetic field in the opposite
direction. This is the effect that provides the element of memory in
a hard disk drive

Activity 2

Q(1)
As the electric field is cycled from positive to negative to positive, the
following transformations occur in the sample of quartz:

A: Initially, strain increases with electric field and is only slightly

nonlinear. As the electric field is increased, the dipoles of all the grains
will eventually align to the electric field as optimally as is possible and
the distortion of the grains will approach a physical limit.

B: When the field is reversed, strain decreases more slowly due to the
reoriented dipoles. As the field gets smaller, the dipoles relax into less
ideal orientations and strain decreases at a faster rate.

C: As the field becomes negative the dipoles are forced away from their
original orientation. At a critical point they completely reverse direction
and the quartz sample becomes polarized in the opposite direction. The
electric field at the point of polarization reversal is known as the
coercive field (Ec).

D: After polarization reversal, the Quartz expands again until it reaches

its physical strain limit.

E: The electric field is reversed again and the same hysteretic behavior
that occurred along curve B occurs as strain decreases.

F: The electric field is driven to the coercive limit for the opposite
polarization direction and the dipoles reorient to their original
polarization.

G: The Quartz sample expands with the applied electric field to its
physical limit.

Q(2)
(a)
In a material science we know a creep(cold flow) is a tendency of a solid
material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of
stess. It occurs below the yield stress, so due to its property the rubber
doesnot comes to its original position.

Second is that no material easily available in pure form so due to

impurity exist in it . it deform little bit which we neglect.

Third point is the difference between practical and theoretical strength.

(b)

From both graph we can see that according

Load α Elongation

But at a limit which is hook’s law, but we can observe that the
theoretical value will be high than the practical value. That’s why the
yield strength of theoretical value will be high than practical value of
Yield strength.

Q(3)
(a)

This is because sample 1 is uses from several years, so as we know if we

apply load on a body which creates stress lower than UTS of material
and load applies for a long term, then with time the UTS of a material
will be lower than earlier. Also the atmospheric conditions effect it for
example Temperature so its life will be decreases and the sample 1 is
not in a range of our required quality.

(b)

It is because we take theoretical value from lab observation and we

neglect some effects but in practical case it is lower than theoretical.
Also we should note that the surface factor should be equal or greater
than 1.
