To put out a class D metal fire, you must smother the fire and eliminate the oxygen element in the fire.

<h3>What is a Class D fire?</h3>

A class D fire is a type of fire that cannot be extinguished by water. This is because adding water to it reacts with other elements in the fire intensifying the fire even more.

Smothering in this context involves adding a solution like carbon dioxide (CO2) into the fire, this results in a reduction of oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding the class D fire.

By so doing, smothering the fire eliminates the oxygen element in the fire, thereby extinguishing the fire.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

A.) 0.3088

B.) 0.0017

C.) part A

Explanation:

A.)

z1= \frac{\left(150-137\right)}{27.7}=0.4693

z2=\frac{\left(201-137\right)}{27.7}=2.3105

P(0.4693

B.)

z1=\frac{150-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}} =2.9309\\z2=\frac{201-137}{27.7/ \sqrt{39}}=14.4289

\\P(2.9309

C.) Since the seat performance for an individual pilot is more important than 39 different pilots.

Problem 34.3 The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E
Natasha2012 [34]

The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

A) P = 65.11 KN

B) Q = 30 KN

Explanation:

We are given;

The end reaction of the beam; F = 100KN

Coefficient of static friction between two steel surfaces;μ_ss = 0.3

Coefficient of static friction between steel and concrete;μ_sc = 0.6

So, F1 = μ_ss•F =0.3 x 100 = 30 KN

F2 = μ_ss•N_EF = 0.3N_EF

From the screen shot, we see that the angle is 12°

Sum of forces in the Y-direction gives;

F2•sin12 - N_EF•cos12 + 100 = 0

Rearranging gives;

N_EF•cos12 - F2•sin12 = 100

Let's put 0.3N_EF for F2 to give;

N_EF•cos12 - 0.3N_EF•sin12 = 100

Thus;

N_EF(0.9158) - 0.1247 = 100

N_EF(0.9781) = 100 + 0.1247

N_EF = 100.1247/0.9158

N_EF = 109.33 KN

Thus, F2 = 0.3N_EF = 0.3 x 109.33 = 32.8 KN

Wedge will move if;

P = (F1 + F2cos12 + N_EFsin12)

Thus;

P = 10 + (32.8 x 0.9781) + (109.33 x 0.2079)

P ≥ 65.11 KN

B) For static equilibrium, Q = F1

Thus, Q = 30 KN

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a. population, units, sample

Explanation:

In a survey or in a research, population is defined as the total number of people or total number of items in the group that we want to study in a research. It is the entire pool from where a sample is drawn.

An unit is defined as the individual members for which the information or data is collected.

A sample is defined is defined as the group or part of the selection from where the information or data is to be obtained.

Use phasor techniques to determine the impedance seen by the source given that R = 4 Ω, C = 12 μF, L = 6 mH and ω = 2000 rad/sec
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Z = 29.938Ω ∠22.04°

I = 2.494A

Explanation:

Impedance Z is defined as the total opposition to the flow of current in an AC circuit. In an R-L-C AC circuit, Impedance is expressed as shown:

Z² = R²+(Xl-Xc)²

Z = √R²+(Xl-Xc)²

R is the resistance = 4Ω

Xl is the inductive reactance = ωL

Xc is the capacitive reactance =

1/ωc

Given C = 12 μF, L = 6 mH and ω = 2000 rad/sec

Xl = 2000×6×10^-3

Xl = 12Ω

Xc = 1/2000×12×10^-6

Xc = 1/24000×10^-6

Xc = 1/0.024

Xc = 41.67Ω

Z = √4²+(12-41.67)²

Z = √16+880.31

Z = √896.31

Z = 29.938Ω (to 3dp)

θ = tan^-1(Xl-Xc)/R

θ = tan^-1(12-41.67)/12

θ = tan^-1(-29.67)/12

θ = tan^-1 -2.47

θ = -67.96°

θ = 90-67.96

θ = 22.04° (to 2dp)

To determine the current, we will use the relationship

V = IZ

I =V/Z

Given V = 12V

I = 29.93/12

I = 2.494A (3dp)
