A press delivers a force of \(8000 \mathrm{~N}\) throughout a distance of \(18 \mathrm{~mm}\) each stroke. Select a number of strokes per minute and determine the rate of work output per second. If the press efficiency is \(90 \%\), what average torque must be provided by a 1750 -rpm driving motor?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The work done per stroke of the press is \(144 \mathrm{J}\). Assuming an operation rate of 60 strokes per second, the rate of work output per second or power is \(8640 \mathrm{W}\). Given the 90% efficiency, the motor must provide an average torque of \(474.334 \mathrm{Nm}\).

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the Work Done per Stroke

Work done is calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance. Here, the force is \(8000 \mathrm{~N}\) and distance is \(18 \mathrm{~mm}\) or \(0.018 \mathrm{~m}\). Let's calculate the work done.
02

Calculate the Power Output

Power is work done per unit time. Here, the unit time is 1 second. So power can be calculated by dividing the work done by one second. As the problem doesn’t specify the number of strokes per minute, a suitable number like 60 can be assumed for simplicity.
03

Convert Power to Watts

The original power unit in this case is Newton meter per second, but it's more meaningful in context to express it in watts, since 1 Watt equals 1 Newton meter per second.
04

Calculate Torque

To calculate the torque, first the output power of the motor is calculated, which is higher than the output power of the press due to the efficiency. Then torque is calculated using the formula for power and torque related to rotational motion, with given rounds per minute.
05

Convert Torque to Newton Meters

Finally, the torque is simplified from its much larger original unit (Newton millimeters) to the more convenient and commonly used Newton meters.

Stairways-and mechanical engineers sometimes design stairways-have certain geometric requirements for their design, e.g., stairway steps shall be uniform with respect to rise and run. Review local and/or uniform building codes for stairways and steps and record the requirements for rise and run. Also address and answer the question, why are building codes such as those for stairways required?

The crankshaft of a single-cylinder air compressor rotates \(1800 \mathrm{rpm}\). The piston area is \(2000 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\), and the piston stroke is \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\). Assume a simple "idealized" case where the average gas pressure acting on the piston during the compression stroke is \(1 \mathrm{MPa}\), and pressure during the intake stroke is negligible. The compressor is \(80 \%\) efficient. A flywheel provides adequate control of speed fluctuation. (a) What motor power \((\mathrm{kW})\) is required to drive the crankshaft? (b) What torque is transmitted through the crankshaft?

An incident occurred in which a cantilevered section of a walkway under demolition fell in a bagasse warehouse area at a sugar mill, resulting in the death of a worker positioned on top of the walkway. The incident walkway was constructed of two \(2.625\) in. by 10 in. steel C-channel main beams spaced three feet apart with metal floor grating welded to the top of the C-channel beams. The cantilevered walkway had welded-on hand rails and was approximately three \(\mathrm{ft}\) in width, \(11 \mathrm{ft}\) in length and located at a height of \(40 \mathrm{ft}\) from ground level. This section weighed more than \(800 \mathrm{lbs}\). The worker was positioned on the cantilevered portion of the walkway cutting through the floor grating of the walkway when the cantilevered walkway section unexpectedly gave way and fell to the area below. The demolition of the walkway left one section of the walkway cantilevered and supported by the metal floor grating and by an undersized weld. Demolition proceeded without an engineering study of the structural integrity of the bagasse walkway as well as an adequate plan for demolition. A proper engineering study of the structural integrity of the bagasse warehouse walkway as well as an adequate demolition plan in reasonable engineering probability would have prevented the accident. Search the OSHA regulation at http://www.osha.gov and review the sections 29 CFR 1926.501(a)(2) and 29 CFR 1926.850(a). Write a paragraph relating each section to the above incident and describe how following the regulations would have reduced the risk to employees.

In an effort to reduce the pollution in its larger cities, a state government has provided incentives to owners of polluting companies to move to less populated areas with significantly lower pollution, especially companies such as foundries that produce noise and smelly, smoky airborne pollution. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a system of "distributing" the pollution? Does spreading the pollution solve the health problem and/or reduce citizen complaints?

The rolling resistance of the tires, \(F_{r}\), opposing the motion of a vehicle is given by $$ F_{r}=f W $$ where \(f\) is a constant called the rolling resistance coefficient and \(W\) is the vehicle weight. For a vehicle weighing, \(W=300 \mathrm{kN}\) that is traveling at \(100 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\), calculate the power in \(\mathrm{kW}\) required to overcome the vehicle rolling resistance for \(f=0.0070\).
