Answer Explanation:

SPRING STIFFNESS :The stiffness of a body is a measure of resistance offered by an elastic body to deformation.it is denoted by K every object has some stiffness for spring the spring stiffness is the force required to cause unit deflection

DAMPING CONSTANT: the damping constant is a number decided by manufacturer that describes the material property. Damping is an influence within an oscillatory system that has the effect of restricting its oscillation

If a heat engine has an efficiency of 30% and its power output is 600 W, what is the rate of heat input from the combustion phas

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The heat input from the combustion phase is 2000 watts.

Explanation:

The energy efficiency of the heat engine ( $\eta$ ), no unit, is defined by this formula:

$\eta = \frac{\dot W}{\dot Q}$ (1)

Where:

$\dot Q$ - Heat input, in watts.

$\dot W$ - Power output, in watts.

If we know that $\dot W = 600\,W$ and $\eta = 0.3$ , then the heat input from the combustion phase is:

$\eta = \frac{\dot W}{\dot Q}$

$\dot Q = \frac{\dot W}{\eta}$

$\dot Q = \frac{600\,W}{0.3}$

$\dot Q = 2000\,W$

The heat input from the combustion phase is 2000 watts.

How many electrons move past a fixed reference point every t = 2.55 ps if the current is i = 7.3 μA ? Express your answer as an

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

116.3 electrons

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Time, t = 2.55 ps = 2.55 × 10⁻¹² s

Current, i = 7.3 μA = 7.3 × 10⁻⁶ A

Now,

we know,

Charge, Q = it

thus,

Q = (7.3 × 10⁻⁶) × (2.55 × 10⁻¹²)

Q = 18.615 × 10⁻¹⁸ C

Also,

We know

Charge of 1 electron, q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

Number of electrons past a fixed point = Q ÷ q

= [ 18.615 × 10⁻¹⁸ ] ÷ [ 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ ]

= 116.3 electrons

A tool chest has 650 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

erica [24]

Answer:

the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Explanation:

The first diagram attached below shows the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is sliding.

Let start out by calculating the friction force

$F_f= \mu N_2$

where :

$F_f =$ friction force

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$N_2$ = normal friction

Given that:

$\mu$ = 0.3

$F_f =$ 0.3 $N_2$

Using the equation of equilibrium along horizontal direction.

$\sum f_x = 0$

P - $F_f =$ 0

P = 0.3 $N_2$ ----- Equation (1)

To determine the moment about point B ; we have the expression

$\sum M_B = 0$

0 = $N_2*70-W*35-P*100$

where;

P = horizontal force

$N_2$ = normal force at support A

W = self- weight of tool chest

Replacing W = 650 N

0 = $N_2*70-650*35-100*P$

$P = \frac{70 N_2-22750}{100} ----- equation (2)$

Replacing $\frac{70 N_2-22750}{100}$ for P in equation (1)

$\frac{70N_2 -22750}{100} =0.3 N_2$

$N_2 = \frac{22750}{40}$ $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$

Plugging the value of $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$ in equation (2)

$P = \frac{70(568.75)-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{39812.5-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{17062.5}{100}$

P =170.625 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

b) From the second diagram attached the free body diagram; the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is tipping about point A is also shown below:

Taking the moments about point A:

$\sum M_A = 0$

-(P × 100)+ (W×35) = 0

P = $\frac{W*35}{100}$

Replacing 650 N for W

$P = \frac{650*35}{100}$

P = 227.5 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P, when the tool chest tipping about point A is 227.5 N

We conclude that the motion will be impending for the lowest value when P = 170.625 N and when P= 227.5 N

However; the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.
