How many bolts can a mechanic safely wire if the mechanic had a roll of 0.32" safety wire, 100 yards long if each bolt required 8.125 inches of wire?
Added by Marshall H.
Step 1
Since there are 36 inches in a yard, multiply the total yards by 36 to get the length in inches. The roll is 100 yards long, so the calculation is 100 yards * 36 inches/yard = 3600 inches. Show more…

Specification for a steel bolt require that the ultimate tensile strength be at 18kN. It is known that 10% of the bolts have strengths less than 18.3kN and 5% of the bolts have strengths greater than 19.76kN. It is also known that the strength of these bolts is normally distributed. Determine the mean and the standard deviation of the strengths. Q3b Mean, μ = (*Round to two decimal places, for example: 0.33) Standard deviation, σ = (*Round to four decimal places, for example: 0.3333) Q3c c. What proportion of the bolts meet the strength specification? (*Round to four decimal places, for example: 0.3333)

How much will a steel wire 20 ft long and 2.20 in in diameter stretch when a load of 200 lb is hung on it? (Young's modulus of steel = 24 x 10^6 lb/in^2)

What is the maximum load that could be suspended from a copper wire of length $1.0 \mathrm{m}$ and radius $1.0 \mathrm{mm}$ without breaking the wire? Copper has an elastic limit of $2.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{Pa}$ and a tensile strength of $4.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{Pa}$.
