Answer:

Explanation:

Thermal conductivity k is the ability of material to conduct heat.

When conductivity is high → heat sink

When conductivity is low → insulation.

A shelter material are those material use for building house and they have different thermal conductivity. e.g.

1. corrugated steel culverts

2. steel plate

3. reinforced fiberglass

4. polyethylene

5. concrete reinforced e.t.c.

To resolve this problem we have,

$R=3.5mm\\F_f1=950N\\L_1=50mm\\b=12mm\\L_2=40mm$

$F_{f2}$ is unknown.

With these dates we can calculate the Flexural strenght of the specimen,

$\sigma{fs}=\frac{F_{f1}L}{\pi R^3}\\\sigma{fs}=\frac{(950)(50*10^{-3})}{\pi 3.5*10^{-3}}\\\sigma{fs}=352.65Mpa$

After that, we can calculate the flexural strenght for the square cross section using the previously value.

$\sigma{fs}=\frac{F_{f2}L}{\pi R^3}\\(352.65*10^6)=\frac{3Ff(40*10^{-3})}{2(12*10^{-10})}\\F_{f2}=\frac{352.65*10^6}{34722.22}\\F_{f2}=10156.32N\\F_{f2}=10.2kN$

Answer: 0.93 mA

Explanation:

In order to calculate the current passing through the water layer, as we have the potential difference between the ends of the string as a given, assuming that we can apply Ohm’s law, we need to calculate the resistance of the water layer.

We can express the resistance as follows:

R = ρ.L/A

In order to calculate the area A, we can assume that the string is a cylinder with a circular cross-section, so the Area of the water layer can be written as follows:

A= π(r22 – r12) = π( (0.0025)2-(0.002)2 ) m2 = 7.07 . 10-6 m2

Replacing by the values, we get R as follows:

R = 1.4 1010 Ω

Applying Ohm’s Law, and solving for the current I:

I = V/R = 130 106 V / 1.4 1010 Ω = 0.93 mA
