Modulus Screw Shear Shear modulus

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on calculating the shear modulus of a screw that breaks at 39 ft/lbs of torque with a shaft diameter of 0.130 inches. Participants suggest using the formula f=T/l and the relationship l/L=angle to derive the answer. The focus is on applying these formulas to determine the material's shear modulus effectively. Accurate calculations are essential for understanding the screw's performance under stress. The thread emphasizes the importance of material properties in engineering applications.

I have a screw that is used in our plant that is rated to break at 39 ft/lbs of torque.
The diameter of the shaft is .130 inches.
What is the shear modulus of the material that is being used.
Thanks

maybe if you use f=T/l and l/L=angle you will get the ans

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
