Two strips of metal are riveted together at their ends by four rivets, each of diameter 6.0 mm. What is the maximum tension that can be exerted by the riveted strip if the shearing stress on the rivet is not to exceed 6.9× Pa? (Assume that each rivet is to carry one-quarter of the load.)
1. 7850 N
2. 6000 N
3. 7070.73 N
4. 7799.76 N
The Marina trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, and at one place it is nearly \(11 \) km beneath the surface of the water. The water pressure at the bottom of the trench is about \(1.1 \times10^8\) Pa. A steel ball of initial volume \(0.32\) m3 is dropped into the ocean and falls to the bottom of the trench. What is the change in the volume of the ball when it reaches the bottom? (Given: \(B_{\mathrm{steel}}=1.6 \times10^{11}\) N/m2)
1. | \(1.01\times10^{-3}\) m3 | 2. | \(2.2 \times10^{-4}\) m3 |
3. | \(1.9 \times10^{-3}\) m3 | 4. | none of these |
