Sure 
"Mount Everest is 29,000 feet tall" or in scientific terms 2.9E4 
This statement/observation is accurate to 2 decimal places. It is precise only to (perhaps) the nearest thousand feet. 
More precise 
"Mount Everest is 29,029 feet tall"

A charge of 8.0 pc is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface (radius = 2.0 cm), and a second charge of â3.0 pc is distribu
loris [4]
According to Gauss' law, the electric field outside a spherical surface uniformly charged is equal to the electric field if the whole charge were concentrated at the center of the sphere.

Therefore, when you are outside two spheres, the electric field will be the overlapping of the two electric fields:
E(r > r₂ > r₁) = k · q₁/r² + k  · q₂/r² = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
where:
k = 9×10⁹ N·m²/C²

We have to transform our data into the correct units of measurement:
q₁ = 8.0 pC = 8.0×10⁻¹² C
q₂ = 3.0 pC = 3.0×10<span>⁻¹² C
</span><span>r = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Now, we can apply the formula:
</span><span>E(r) = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
      = </span>9×10⁹ · (8.0×10⁻¹² + 3.0×10⁻¹²) / (0.05)²
      = 39.6 N/C

Hence, <span>the magnitude of the electric field 5.0 cm from the center of the two surfaces is E = 39.6 N/C</span>

A rectangular key was used in a pulley connected to a line shaft with a power of 7.46 kW at a speed of 1200 rpm. If the shearing
Damm [24]

Given:

Shaft Power, P = 7.46 kW = 7460 W

Speed, N = 1200 rpm

Shearing stress of shaft, \tau _{shaft} = 30 MPa

Shearing stress of key, \tau _{key} = 240 MPa

width of key, w = \frac{d}{4}

d is shaft diameter

Solution:

Torque, T = \frac{P}{\omega }

where,

\omega = \frac{2\pi  N}{60}

T = \frac{7460}{\frac{2\pi  (1200 )}{60}} = 59.365 N-m

Now,

\tau _{shaft} = \tau _{max} = \frac{2T}{\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{3}}

30\times 10^{6} = \frac{2\times 59.365}{\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{3}}

d = 0.0216 m

Now,

w =  \frac{d}{4} =  \frac{0.02116}{4} = 5.4 mm

Now, for shear stress in key

\tau _{key} = \frac{F}{wl}

we know that

T = F \times r =  F. \frac{d}{2}

⇒ \tau _{key} = \frac{\frac{T}{\frac{d}{2}}}{wl}

⇒ 240\times 10^{6} = \frac{\frac{59.365}{\frac{0.0216}{2}}}{0.054l}

length of the rectangular key, l = 4.078 mm

The return-air ventilation duct in a home has a cross-sectional area of 900 cm^2. The air in a room that has dimensions 7.0 m ××
koban [17]

Answer:

0.86 m/s

Explanation:

A = cross-sectional area of the duct = 900 cm² = 900 x 10⁻⁴ m²

v = speed of air in the duct

t = time period of circulation = 40 min = 40 x 60 sec = 2400 sec

V = Volume of the air in the room = volume of room = 7 x 11 x 2.4 = 184.8 m³

Volume of air in the room is given as

V = A v t

inserting the values

184.8 = (900 x 10⁻⁴) (2400) v

v = 0.86 m/s
