Alarge plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 82.4 mpa1m (75.0 if the plate is exposed to a tensile stress of 345 mpa (50,000 psi) during service use, determine the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture. assume a value of 1.0 for y.

Asheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200oc and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6 x 10- 11 m2 /s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2 x 10-7 kg/m2 -s. also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3 . how far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3 ? assume a linear concentration profile.

Estimate the kinetic energy of the neptune with respect to the sun as the sum of the terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. [assume the neptune is a uniform sphere with mass = 1.0×1026 kg , radius = 2.5×1010 m , rotation period 16.1 h , orbital period 6.01×104 d and is 4.6×109 km from the sun.]
