Initial and final velocity from a sheared casting

AI Thread Summary
To determine the initial and impact velocity of a sheared steel casting section, key parameters include a maximum mass of 200kg and an input force of 2,500kN at the shear point. The section travels 0.5m before hitting an obstruction, with a contact area of 0.1m/sq. Estimating the pent-up energy responsible for the shear force is essential for accurate calculations. Understanding these dynamics will aid in predicting the behavior of the casting upon shearing. Accurate calculations are crucial for safety and performance assessments in engineering applications.

Good evening all,

I am looking for a little guidance with relation to trying to find the initial and impact velocity of a section of a steel casting if it shears.

Given the results of stress analysis, the mass of the sheared section would be 200kg maximum.
The input force at that would be 2,500kN at the point of shear.
The section would travel 0.5m before it contacted an obstruction.
The area of contact would be 0.1m/sq

Any help is much appreciated.

You need to estimate the pent-up energy in whatever is generating the shear force.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
