5. A fishing rod is formed from a composite material of 0.5 kg of glass fibers embedded in a matrix of 0.5 kg of epoxy resin. The glass fibers are assumed to be long, continuous and unidirectional. To achieve a greater stiffness, it is proposed to use a different composite that is comprised of long continuous carbon fibers that will be embedded in a matrix of 0.5 kg of epoxy resin. If the modulus of elasticity of the carbon fiber composite is 10% greater than the elastic modulus of the glass fiber composite, estimate the mass of carbon fibers that will be used to make the carbon fiber composite. Assume the applied tensile stress is parallel to the direction of the long axis of the fibers. The epoxy resin, glass fiber, and carbon fiber have an elastic modulus of 5, 86, and 350 GPa respectively and a density of 1100, 2500, and 1800 respectively

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

In a unit cell of fcc structure, indicate the position of one of the tetrahedral interstitial sites by plotting the corresponding tetrahedron. do the same for one of the octahedral interstitial sites (in a separate fcc unit cell). mark the positions of all the tetrahedral and octahedral interstitial sites in the unit cells. how many equivalent tetrahedral sites and how many equivalent octahedral sites are contained in a fcc unit cell, respectively. what is the coordination number for a tetrahedral site and what is the coordination number for an octahedral site?
