Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a calculation related to the cross-sectional area of a tube under tensile force, showing formulas and steps for determining the inner and outer diameters of the tube based on the applied force and material strength. Here's a breakdown:
-
Formulas:
- The diameter of the outer circle is given as , where .
- , where is the applied force, is the area, is the outer diameter, and is the inner diameter.
- Given:
-
Steps:
- The goal is to determine both the outer diameter and inner diameter .
- The calculation for starts by rearranging the stress formula to solve for the inner diameter.
- Once is found (rounded up to 32.6 mm), the outer diameter is determined by multiplying by 1.4, yielding .
-
Final verification:
- The calculation verifies that the resulting stress (99.304 MPa) is below the maximum allowable stress (100 MPa).
Let me know if you need any more details or further explanation on any part of this problem.
Here are five related questions you might consider:
- What would happen if the stress exceeded the maximum allowable stress?
- How would the result change if had a different value?
- What is the significance of rounding up or down in mechanical design, especially for diameters?
- How does the applied force influence the choice of diameters for the tube?
- How could you calculate the wall thickness of the tube from the given diameters?
Tip: Always double-check unit conversions, especially in stress and force calculations, to avoid significant errors in mechanical design.
