You are to assess the biomechanics of a male’s arm using his bicep to hold a 20 kg object in his hand. The upper arm is perpendi

cular to the ground while the forearm is parallel to the ground. The male’s forearm is 26.5 cm long and weighs 1.42 kg. The man’s hand weighs 0.54 kg and is 19 cm long. The center of masses for the forearm and hand are 43% and 50% of the extremity lengths from the proximal joint, respectively.
You may assume that only the bicep generates the force, the angle between the bicep and forearm is 75 degrees, and the bicep insertion is 5cm from the elbow joint.

a) Draw a complete free body diagram of the above described activity. (5 pts)

b) Calculate the elbow moment due to external load and body segments weight. (5 pts)

c) Calculate the elbow contact force and force exerted by the bicep. (5 pts)

The electron beam in a TV picture tube carries 1015 electrons per second. As a design engineer, determine the voltage needed to
leonid [27]

Answer:

The voltage needed to accelerate the electron beam is 2.46 x 10^16 Volts

Explanation:

The rate of electron flow is given as:

q = 1015 electrons per second

The total current is given by:

Total Current = (Rate of electron flow)(Charge on one electron)

Total Current = I = (1015 electrons/s)(1.6 x 10^-19 C/electron)

I = 1.624 x 10^-16 A

Now, we know that electric power is given as:

Electric Power = Current x Voltage

P = IV

V = P/I

V = 4 W/1.624 X 10^-16 A

<u>V = 2.46 x 10^16 Volts</u>

A heat pump cycle is used to maintain the interior of a building at 15°C. At steady state, the heat pump receives energy by heat
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a) Ql=33120000 kJ

b) COP = 5.6

c) COPreversible= 29.3

Explanation:

a) of the attached figure we have:

HP is heat pump, W is the work supplied, Th is the higher temperature, Tl is the low temperature, Ql is heat supplied and Qh is the heat rejected. The worj is:

W=Qh-Ql

Ql=Qh-W

where W=2000 kWh

Qh=120000 kJ/h

Q_{l}=14days(\frac{24 h}{1 day})(\frac{120000 kJ}{1 h})-2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h})=33120000 kJ

b) The coefficient of performance is:

COP=\frac{Q_{h} }{W}=\frac{120000 kJ/h*14(\frac{24 h}{1 day}) }{2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h}) } = 5.6

c) The coefficient of performance of a reversible heat pump is:

COP_{reversible}=\frac{T_{h} }{T_{h}-T_{l}  }

Th=20+273=293 K

Tl=10+273=283K

Replacing:

COP_{reversible}=\frac{293}{293-283}=29.3

Consider a resistor made of pure silicon with a cross-sectional area pf 0.5 μm2, and a length of 50 μm. What is the resistance o
lukranit [14]

Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵  Ω  cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω  cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA

What is a combination circuit? A combination circuit:
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Combination circuit; The basic strategy for the analysis of combination circuits involves using the meaning of equivalent resistance for parallel branches to transform the combination circuit into a series circuit.

Example:

The use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuit.
