Hi, please help me with this question.
What does flank wear depend on and why did a tool that machined steel 1020 suffered a flank wear greater than one of the same material that machined 4140 steel or aluminum?
What does crater wear depend on?
If you can give also some resources from which I can find information about the answer.
Thank you very much.

An old wooden telephone pole with a single cross member was blown off center during a recent storm. To temporarily stabilize the telephone pole, a repair crew has attached a cable from the end of the cross member to an eye-ring stake anchored in the ground. (Figure 3) If the origin O of a coordinate system is placed where the pole meets the ground, the point where the cross member is attached to the pole is A(−2.00,1.80,23.4)ft and the point where the cable is attached to the end of the cross member is B(−2.00,−3.20,26.4)ft. The cable's direction is {1.00i−1.00j−1.00k} and it has a tension of 195 lb . What is Ma, the moment that tends to twist the telephone pole due to the tension in the cable applied at point B?

CHOCHITO, S.A homemade sweets factory wants to determine the normal time and standard time for packaging and packaging of its variety of products. The following table contains the data about a recent study, regarding the measurement of the elements to be carried out. A measurement is considered incorrect if it has a variability greater than +/- 10%, therefore it must be eliminated from the calculation. Knowing that the company grants its workers 30 minutes for the necessary delay and fatigue:

Air enters the compressor of a regenerative air-standard Brayton
cycle with a volumetric flow rate of 60 m3/s at 0.8 bar,
280 K. The compressor pressure ratio is 20, and the maximum cycle
temperature is 1950 K. For the compressor, the isentropic
efficiency is 92% and for the turbine the isentropic efficiency is
95%.
For a regenerator effectiveness of 86%, determine:
(a) the net power developed, in MW.
(b) the rate of heat addition in the combustor, in MW.
(c) the percent thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Problem 8.045 SI
Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater
heaters, a closed one and an open one, and reheat. Steam enters the
first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 560°C, and expands to 2 MPa. Some
steam is extracted at 2 MPa and fed to the closed feedwater heater.
The remainder is reheated at 2 MPa to 520°C and then expands
through the second-stage turbine to 0.3 MPa, where an additional
amount is extracted and fed into the open feedwater heater
operating at 0.3 MPa.
The steam expanding through the third-stage turbine exits at the
condenser pressure of 60 kPa. Feedwater leaves the closed heater at
210°C, 12 MPa, and condensate exiting as saturated liquid at 2 MPa
is trapped into the open feedwater heater. Saturated liquid at 0.3
MPa leaves the open feedwater heater. Assume all pumps and turbine
stages operate isentropically.
Determine for the cycle:
(a) the heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the
steam generator, in kJ per kg of steam entering the firststage
turbine.
(b) the percent thermal efficiency.
(c) the heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the
condenser to the cooling water, in kJ per kg of steam entering the
first-stage turbine.
