A carbon steel ball with a 30mm diameter is pressed against a flat carbon steel plate with a force of 20n. calculate the diameter of the circular contact area and the maximum pressure that occurs at the center of the contact area

28,288.54N/m²

Explanation:

Given the diameter of the carbon steel = 30mm

If the carbon steel is pressed against a flat carbon steel plate with a force of 20N, the diameter of the circular contact area will be the same i.e the diameter of the carbon steel that came in contact with the area will imprint the same diameter of 30mm on the circular area.

The pressure exerted on the center on the contact area can be calculated using the formula;

Pressure = Force/Area

Where applies force = 20N

Area = πd²/4 where d = 30mm

d = 30/1000 = 0.03m(converted to meters)

Area = π(0.03)²/4

Area of the circular disc = 0.000707m²

Pressure applied = 20N/0.000707m²

Pressure applied = 28,288.54N/m²

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees. 

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
