The room-temperature yield strength of very-low-carbon steel as a function of the square root of the interstitial solid-solution carbon concentration is shown in Figure 7.12.

(a) Evaluate all of the constants in the equation for the tensile yield strength as a function of solid-solution chemical composition. (b) The maximum equilibrium composition of interstitial carbon possible in ferritic iron is 0.0011 atom fraction (af). If an iron-carbon alloy of this composition could be produced at room temperature, what should the yield strength be? You must solve this problem analytically; you can check your result graphically. (c) If the composition of 0.0011 af of carbon is exceeded, the extra carbon forms iron carbide. If a specimen is produced with 0.0015 af of carbon, do you expect the strength to be given by an extension of the line in the figure? Briefly explain your answer.

Velocity: Human reaction times are worsened by alcohol. How much further (in feet) would a drunk driver's car travel before he hits the brakes than a sober driver's car? Assume that both are initially traveling at 50.0 mi/h and their cars have the same acceleration while slowing down, and that the sober driver takes 0.33 s to hit the brakes in a crisis, while the drunk driver takes 1.0 s to do so. (5280 ft = 1 mi)
