The compressed-air tank ab has a 250-mm outside diameter and an 8-mm wall thickness. it is fitted with a collar by which a 40-kn force p is applied at b in the horizontal direction. knowing that the gage pressure inside the tank is 5 mpa, determine the maximum normal stress and the maximum shearing stress at point k.

How does the image distance (di) of a convex lens compare with the image distance of a concave lens? a. the image distance of the convex lens is positive, and that of the concave lens is negative. b. both are negative for a virtual image. c. both are positive for a virtual image d. the image distance of the convex lens is negative, and that of the concave lens is positive.

Laboratory experiments, observational field studies, and model-building are all examples of different forms of scientific investigations.  in what way do laboratory experiments primarily differ from other forms of scientific investigations?   a.  a laboratory experiment is the only accepted form of investigation within the scientific community.  b.  studies about how things behave in nature or studies involving very large objects are best answered through laboratory experiments.  c.  laboratory experiments involve the identification and control of variables.  d.  data can only be generated through laboratory experiments, not other forms of investigation.

There are two routes similar in terrain; however, one route has an incline of approximately 28 degrees, and you must decide on which route to take. what is the maximum road grade that your fully loaded ecv can climb?
