Answer: a) W(earth) = 935.62 lbs

b) Mass of rocks in slugs = 29.06 slugs

Explanation:

a) From Newton's law, W = mg. Whether on the moon or on earth. Although, the mass of the rocks everywhere is the same, that is, mass of rocks on the moon = mass of rocks on earth.

W(moon) = mg(moon)

W(moon) = 154 lbs

g(moon) = 5.30 ft/s2

m = W(moon)/g(moon) = 154/5.3 = 29.06 lb.s2/ft

W(earth) = m g(earth)

g(earth) = 32.2 ft/s2

W(earth) = 29.06 × 32.2 = 935.62 lbs.

b) A slug = 1 lb.s2/ft, therefore the mass of the rocks in slugs is 29.06 slugs.

using namespace std;

void insert(int* arr, int* size, int value, int position){

if(position<0 || position>=*size){

cout<<"position is greater than size of the array"<<endl;

return ;

}

*size = *size + 1 ;

for(int i=*size;i>position;i--){

arr[i] = arr[i-1];

}

arr[position] = value ;

}

void print(int arr[], int size){

for(int i=0;i<size;i++){

cout<< arr[i] <<" ";

}

cout<<" "<<endl;

}

void remove(int* arr, int* size, int position){

* size = * size - 1 ;

for(int i=position;i<*size;i++){

arr[i] = arr[i+1];

}

}

int count(int arr[], int size, int target){

int total = 0 ;

for(int i=0;i<size;i++){

A developer has requested permission to build a large retail store at a location adjacent to the intersection of an undivided fo
Sergio [31]

Answer:

676 ft

Explanation:

Minimum sight distance, d_min

d_min = 1.47 * v_max * t_total where v_max is maximum velocity in mi/h, t_total is total time

v_max is given as 50 mi/h

t_total is sum of time for right-turn and adjustment time=8.5+0.7=9.2 seconds

Substituting these figures we obtain d_min=1.47*50*9.2=676.2 ft

For practical purposes, this distance is taken as 676 ft

a) A 10-mm-diameter Brinell hardness indenter produced an indentation 2.50 mm in diameter in a steel alloy when a load of 1000 k
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a) HB = 200.484, b) d \approx 1.453\,mm

Explanation:

The Brinell hardness can be determined by using this expression:

HB = \frac{2\cdot P}{\pi\cdot D^{2}}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{1-\sqrt{1-\frac{d^{2}}{D^{2}} } }  \right)

Where D and d are the indenter diameter and the indentation diameter, respectively.

a) The Brinell hardness is:

HB = \frac{2\cdot (1000\,kgf)}{\pi\cdot (10\,mm)^{2}} \cdot \left[\frac{1}{1-\sqrt{1-\frac{(2.50\,mm)^{2}}{(10\,mm)^{2}} } }  \right]

HB = 200.484

b) The diameter of the indentation is obtained by clearing the corresponding variable in the Brinell formula:

d = D\cdot \sqrt{1-(1-\frac{2\cdot P}{\pi\cdot HB \cdot D^{2}} )^{2}}

d = (10\,mm)\cdot\sqrt{1-\left[1-\frac{2\cdot (500\,kgf)}{\pi\cdot (300)\cdot (10\,mm)^{2}}  \right]^{2}}

d \approx 1.453\,mm

The Little Prince Computer (LPC) is a mutant variation on the LMC. The LPC is so named because the differences are a royal plan)
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

From register to register next is register to indexed storage and next to register to storage and the to single oprand and finally to storage to storage.

Explanation:

Within the CPU, the most important components are registers. Data may be moved between registers, may be added or subtracted from the current contents of a register, and can be shifted or rotated within a register or between registers. Each instruction in the instruction set is executed by performing these simple operations, using the appropriate choice of registers and operations in the correct sequence for the particular instruction.
