Answer #1

There is no surety that the given pipe can withstand Y tonnes of load in compression as well. During compression ductile material fails by buckling OR by bulging. If the length of the steel pipe is long enough, then it will fail by buckling. The Euler load required for buckling can be less than the tensile load Y depending upon the dimensions of pipe. So as the diameter and length of steel pipe is not known here then we can not say that the pipe will withstand the Y load in compression.

You have a nominal 3.5-inch diameter tube steel pipe, 18 feet high that is embedded into a concrete foundation.  Neglecting the weight of the column, answer the questions below: What is the maximum vertical load this pipe can support/critical load (lb)? If a vertical load of 2,500 lbs and a horizontal force of 150 lbs are applied at the top of the column, what are the maximum combined tensile and compressive stresses (psi) where the column meets its foundation?  Are they allowable?

You have a steel cable 100 m long, that you want to use for a zipline. You set it up in the middle of summer when the temperature is 40◦C. You install it to be completely taut between its endpoints. If the temperature outside can drop to -10◦C during the winter, how much extra force do the joints holding the ends of the zipline have to be able to withstand due to the temperature changes (other than a normal load...

Simple Dominance with 2 genes A gene in cats causes them to be black (dominant) or brown (recessive). A second gene causes cats to be agouti (have stripes on their hairs) or non-agouti (solid colored hairs). If you did a dihybrid cross between two black haired agouti cats, what fraction of the offspring would be expected to have each phenotype? If a dihybrid black agouti cat mated with a brown cat that was heterozygous for the agouti gene, what fraction...
