The value of the property realized when it becomes absolutely useless except for sale as junk is known as

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Scrap value is the worth of a physical asset's individual components when the asset itself is deemed no longer usable. The individual components, known as scrap, are worth something if they can be put to other uses. Sometimes scrap materials can be used as-is and other times they must be processed before they can be reused. An item's scrap value—also called residual value, break-up value, or salvage value—is determined by the supply and demand for the materials it can be broken down into.

If Mohr's circle is drawn for a fluid body at rest, it would be-

Detailed Solution: Question 27

Mohr's circle is a graphical representation of a general state of stress at a point. It is a graphical method used for evaluation of principal stresses, maximum shear stress; normal and tangential stresses on any given plane.

The radius of Mohr Circle ⇒ R=τmax = √[(σx - σy/2)2 + τxy 2)]

In static fluid,

τxy = 0 and σx = σy = - σ (normal compressive stress)

⇒ R=τmax = √[(σ - σ/2)2 + τxy 2 )] = 0

Therefore, Mohr Circle for Static Fluid is a Point Circle
