Cite five factors that lead to scatter in measured material properties. upon what three criteria are factors of safety based? a large tower is to be supported by a series of steel wires. it is estimated the load on each wire will be 15,000 n. determine the minimum required wire diameter, assuming a factor of safety = 2.0 and a yield strength of 800 mpa (125,000 psi) for the steel. reflect by commenting on the meaning of your answer.

Three questions there, let me try to organize them.

a) Cite five factors that lead to scatter in measured material properties.

b) Upon what three criteria are factors of safety based?

A large tower is to be supported by a series of steel wires.  It is estimated the load on each wire will be 15,000 N.  Determine the minimum equired wire diameter, assuming a factor of safety = 2.0 and a yield strength of 800 MPa (125,000 psi) for the steel. Reflect by commenting on the meaning of your answer.

Where,

Working stress

Allowable working unit stress

N= Factor of safety

Given the information we have,

Diameter and force are related by,

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
