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 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
