Not all fabricating shops are equipped to do end-plate shear connections. Why is this true?

What will be an ideal response?


Not all fabricating shops are equipped to do this type of connection because it requires close control in cutting the beam to length and squaring the ends to ensure that the end plates at either end are truly parallel with each other.

If d = 150m and the motor must deliver its full-rated power, determine the minimum AWG conductors that must be used in a rubber-insulated cable. Assume that losses occur only in the wires.

At an engineering site, a 1-hp motor is placed a distance d from a portable generator, as depicted in Figure P2.43. The generator can be modeled as an ideal DC source VG = 110V. The nameplate on the motor gives the following rated voltages and full-load currents:

VM min = 105 V ? IM FL = 7.10 A
VM max = 117 V ? IM FL = 6.37 A
