    How much force is needed to weld two pieces of metal?

    Can anyone help? I’m still stuck on this real world problem

    How much force is needed to weld two pieces of metal?

    If the young’s modulus E was known, would there be an equation to fit the maximum force seen at the weld?

    How much force is needed to weld two pieces of metal?

    I’ve gotten here: total area of contact with the airflow times the pressure gives you the total force applied to the valve. But from there is where I get confused because of how flexible the material is.

    How much force is needed to weld two pieces of metal?

    I’m having trouble trying to figure out how to start. The pressure applied to the weld comes from the air flowing through the valve. It’s controlled by air flow, but does that come from the pressure? I know this for will apply a force to the valve but the force applied to the weld will be...

    Gage pressure at point A in a multifluid manometer

    Homework Statement The manometer shown below measures the pressure of the water in the tank. Using variables for the densities (no values given), find the gage pressure at point A. Use the symbols ρw, ρ1, and ρ2 for the water and the two manometer fluids. A picture is attached Homework...

    Gas in tank exposed to a vacuum

    Homework Statement A tank is equally divided into two equal halves, one a vacuum and one filled with argon gas at 298K and 700 bar. The divider bursts and the gas equally disperses throughout the tank. What is the new T and P of the gas assuming argon is an ideal gas? Homework Equations...
