The coefficient of static friction for both wedge surfaces is μw=0.4 and that between the 27-kg concrete block and the β=20° inc

line is μg=0.7.
If the wedge has an angle of 5° determine the minimum value of the force P2, parallel to the fixed surface on the left, required to begin moving the block up the incline.

Assuming  the wedge has an angle of 5°.The minimum value of the force P that is required to begin moving the block up the incline is: 322.84 N.

<h3>Minimum value of force P</h3>

First step

Using this formula to find the weight of the block

W=mg

W=27×9.81

W=264.87 N

Second step

Angles of friction ∅A and ∅B

∅A=tan^-1(μA)

∅A=tan^-1(0.70)

∅A=34.99°

∅B=tan^-1(μB)

∅B=tan^-1(0.40)

∅B=21.80°

Third step

Equate the sum of forces in m-direction to 0 in order to find the reaction force at B.

∑fm=0

W sin (∅A+20°)  + RB cos (∅B+∅A)=0

264.87 sin(34.99°+20°) + RB cos (21.80°+34.99°)=0

216.94+0.5477Rb=0

RB=216.94/0.5477

RB=396.09 N

Fourth step

Equate the sum of forces in x-direction to 0 in order to find force Rc.

∑fx=0

RB cos (∅B) - RC cos (∅B+ 5°)=0

396.09 cos(21.80°) - RC cos (21.80°+5°)=0

RC=396.09 cos(21.80°)/cos(26.80°)

RC=412.02 N

Last step

Equate the sum of forces in y-direction to 0 in order to find force P required to move the block up the incline.

∑fy=0

RB sin (∅B) + RC sin (∅B)-P=0

P=Rb sin (∅B) + RC sin (5°+∅B)

P=396.09 sin(21.80°) +412.02sin (5°+21.80°)

P=322.84 N

Inconclusion the minimum value of the force P that is required to begin moving the block up the incline is: 322.84 N.

In a wind-turbine, the generator in the nacelle is rated at 690 V and 2.3 MW. It operates at a power factor of 0.85 (lagging) at
Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to real power in 3 phases, which is defined as the product between the phase voltage, the phase current and the power factor (Specifically given by the cosine of the phase angle). First we will find the phase voltage from the given voltage and proceed to find the current by clearing it from the previously mentioned formula. Our values are

V = 690V

P_{real} = 2.3MW

Real power in 3 phase

P_{real} = 3V_{ph}I_{ph} Cos\theta

Now the Phase Voltage is,

V_{ph} = \frac{V}{\sqrt{3}}

V_{ph} = \frac{690}{\sqrt{3}}

V_{ph} = 398.37V

The current phase would be,

P_{real} = 3V_{ph}I_{ph} Cos\theta

Rearranging,

I_{ph}=\frac{P_{real}}{3V_{ph}Cos\theta}

Replacing,

I_{ph}=\frac{2.3MW}{3( 398.37V)(0.85)}

I_{ph}= 2.26kA/phase

Therefore the current per phase is 2.26kA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has standards and regulations that says that the lead level in soil cannot exceed the
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<u>Check One-Sample T-Interval Conditions</u>

Random Sample? √

Sample Size ≥30? √

Independent? √

Population Standard Deviation Unknown? √

<u>One-Sample T-Interval Information</u>

  • Formula --> CI=\bar{x}\pm t^*(\frac{S_x}{\sqrt{n}})
  • Sample Mean --> \bar{x}=390.25
  • Critical Value --> t^*=2.0096 (given df=n-1=50-1=49 degrees of freedom at a 95% confidence level)
  • Sample Size --> n=50
  • Sample Standard Deviation --> S_x=30.5

<u>Problem 1</u>

The critical t-value, as mentioned previously, would be t^*=2.0096, making the 95% confidence interval equal to CI=\bar{x}\pm t^*(\frac{S_x}{\sqrt{n}})=390.25\pm2.0096(\frac{30.5}{\sqrt{50}})\approx\{381.5819,398.9181\}

This interval suggests that we are 95% confident that the true mean levels of lead in soil are between 381.5819 and 398.9181 parts per million (ppm), which satisfies the EPA's regulated maximum of 400 ppm.
