A 20 foot length of two-conductor 26 AWG copper wire is used to connect a single strain gage into a quarter-bridge circuit. If each conductor has a resistance of 20.4 Ω per 1000 feet, how much has the apparent gage resistance changed? Calculate the strain induced by this error if the initial gage resistance is 120 Ω and 350 Ω.

Ashielded metal arc-welding operation is accomplished in a work cell by a fitter and a welder. the fitter takes 5.5 min to load components into the welding fixture at the beginning of the work cycle, and 1.5 min to unload the completed weldment at the end of the cycle. the total ength of the weld seams 1200 mm, and the travel speed used by the welder averages 300 mm/min. every 600 mm of seam length, the welding stick must be changed, which takes 0.8 min. while the fitter is working, the welder is idle (resting): and while the welder is working the fitter is idle. (a) determine the average arc-on time as a fraction of the work cycle time. (b) how much improvement in arc-on time would result if the welder used flux-cored arc welding (manually operated), given that the spool of weld wire must be changed every 10 weldments, and it takes the welder 5.0 min to accomplish the change? (c) what are the production rates for these two cases (weldments completed per hour)? attach your work and solutions.

Explain in your own word the concept of a solid solution, in alloys, and how it can be created.

Aload of 10kn is to be suddenly applied to the free end of a vertical rod of length 500 mm, the upper end being rigidly fixed. 190 mechanical science what should the diameter of the rod be if the maximum stress in the rod is not to exceed 100 mpa? the tensile modulus of the rod is 205 gpa.
