Answer:

It’s so we can then understand other cultures and other ways that people do things or we can also be prepared for what a country that we have not been to yet is going to relatively be like. This can also help with vacation planning.

Explanation:

it can also help us understand different people from different cultures.

Consider casting a concrete driveway 40 feet long, 12 feet wide and 6 in. thick. The proportions of the mix by weight are given

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Weight of cement = 10968 lb

Weight of sand = 18105.9 lb

Weight of gravel = 28203.55 lb

Weight of water = 5484 lb

Explanation:

Given:

Entrained air = 7.5%

Length, L = 40 ft

Width,w = 12 ft

thickness,b= 6 inch, convert to ft = 6/12 = 0.5 ft

Specific gravity of sand = 2.60

Specific gravity of gravel = 2.70

The volume will be:

40 * 12 * 0.5 = 240 ft³

We need to find the dry volume of concrete.

Dry volume = wet volume * 1.54 (concrete)

Dry volume will be = 240 * 1.54 = 360ft³

Due to the 7% entarained air content, the required volume will be:

V = 360 * (1 - 0.07)

V = 334.8 ft³

At a ratio of 1:2:3 for cement, sand, and gravel respectively, we have:

Total of ratio = 1+2+3 = 6

Their respective volume will be =

Volume of cement = $\frac{1}{6}*334.8 = 55.8 ft^3$

Volume of sand = $\frac{2}{6}*334.8 = 111.6 ft^3$

Volume of gravel = $\frac{3}{6}*334.8 = 167.4 ft^3$

To find the pounds needed the driveway, we have:

Weight = volume *specific gravity * density of water

Specific gravity of cement = 3.15

Weight of cement =

55.8 * 3.15 * 62.4 = 10968 pounds

Weight of sand =

111.6 * 2.60 * 62.4 = 18105.9 lb

Weight of gravel =

167.4 * 2.7 * 62.4 = 28203.55 lb

Given water to cement ratio of 0.50

Weight of water = 0.5 of weight of cement

= 1/2 * 10968 = 5484 lb

(d) Arches NP is known for its spectacular arches that develop in the jointed areas of the park. Placemark Problem 2d flies you

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

☐ NE-SW

Explanation:

Based on the description, the rock direction is North East - South West (NE-SW). Rocks generally can expand or compress depending on the type and magnitude of stress applied on the rocks. However, if the applied stress is sufficiently high, cracks and fractures will be created on the rock and it can ultimately lead to the formation of particles.

why is the peak value of the rectified output less than the peak value of the ac input and by how much g

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The Peak value of the output voltage is less or lower than that of the peak value of the input voltage by 0.6V reason been that the voltage is tend to drop across the diode.

Explanation:

This is what we called HALF WAVE RECTIFIER in which the Peak value of the output voltage is less or lower than that of the peak value of the input voltage by 0.6V reason been that the voltage is tend to drop across the diode.

Therefore this is the formula for Half wave rectifier

Vrms = Vm/2 and Vdc

= Vm/π:

Where,

Vrms = rms value of input

Vdc = Average value of input

Vm = peak value of output

Hence, half wave rectifier is a rectifier which allows one half-cycle of an AC voltage waveform to pass which inturn block the other half-cycle which is why this type of rectifiers are often been used to help convert AC voltage to a DC voltage, because they only require a single diode to inorder to construct.

A 4-pole, 60-Hz, 690-V, delta-connected, three-phase induction motor develops 20 HP at full-load slip of 4%. 1) Determine the to

gladu [14]

Answer:

1. i. 20 Nm ii. 4.85 HP

2. 16.5 %

Explanation:

1) Determine the torque and the power developed at 4% slip when a reduced voltage of 340V is applied.

i. Torque

Since slip is constant at 4 %,torque, T ∝ V² where V = voltage

Now, T₂/T₁ = V₂²/V₁² where T₁ = torque at 690 V = P/2πN where P = power = 20 HP = 20 × 746 W = 14920 W, N = rotor speed = N'(1 - s) where s = slip = 4% = 0.04 and N' = synchronous speed = 120f/p where f = frequency = 60 Hz and p = number of poles = 4.

So, N' = 120 × 60/4 = 30 × 60 = 1800 rpm

So, N = N'(1 - s) = 1800 rpm(1 - 0.04) = 1800 rpm(0.96) = 1728 rpm = 1728/60 = 28.8 rps

So, T = P/2πN = 14920 W/(2π × 28.8rps) = 14920 W/180.96 = 82.45 Nm

T₂ = torque at 340 V, V₁ = 690 V and V₂ = 340 V

So, T₂/T₁ = V₂²/V₁²

T₂ = (V₂²/V₁²)T₁

T₂ = (V₂/V₁)²T₁

T₂ = (340 V/690 V)²82.45 Nm

T₂ = (0.4928)²82.45 Nm

T₂ = (0.2428)82.45 Nm

T₂ = 20.02 Nm

T₂ ≅ 20 Nm

ii. Power

P = 2πT₂N'

= 2π × 20 Nm × 28.8 rps

= 1152π W

= 3619.11 W

converting to HP

= 3619.11 W/746 W

= 4.85 HP

2) What must be the new slip for the motor to develop the same torque when the reduced voltage is applied

Since torque T ∝ sV² where s = slip and V = voltage,

T₂/T₁ = s₂V₂²/s₁V₁²

where T₁ = torque at slip, s₁ = 4% and voltage V₁ = 690 V and T₂ = torque at slip, s₂ = unknown and voltage V₂ = 340 V

If the torque is the same, T₁ = T₂ ⇒ T₂T₁ = 1

So,

T₂/T₁ = s₂V₂²/s₁V₁²

1 = s₂V₂²/s₁V₁²

s₂V₂² = s₁V₁²

s₂ = s₁V₁²/V₂²

s₂ = s₁(V₁/V₂)²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

s₂ = s₁(V₁/V₂)²

s₂ = 4%(690/340)²

s₂ = 4%(2.0294)²

s₂ = 4%(4.119)

s₂ = 16.47 %

s₂ ≅ 16.5 %
