Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.77PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The stiffness of bicycle frame made from new material should be compared to the stiffness of an aluminum frame.
Concept introduction:
The stiffness of any material depends on its elasticity. Elasticity is a property of any material through which it can be stretched from its regular shape or can become flexible.
Any matter resumes its size after stretching through the help of its elasticity. The elasticity is different for different matters.
The stiffness of any material is measured in modulus which is the ratio of stress to the strain for the material as:
Higher the modulus more will be the stiffness of the material.

- calculate M.V. (1atm, 30 degrees C)arrow_forwardModern commercial airliners are largely made of aluminum, a light and strong metal. But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough that airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. Before the discovery of the Hall-Héroult process in 1886, aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of the Boeing 747, which can carry 400 passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, 70.7m long, 6.5m wide, and 2.5mm thick (see sketch at right). Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density 7.87/gcm3) instead of aluminum (density 2.70/gcm3), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of 81kg. We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Boeing 747 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel.arrow_forwardIncandescent light bulbs can get very hot to the touch as they convert much of the electrical energy flowing through them into heat.
