<h2>Answer:</h2>

24Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of their combined resistance, when read with a DMM (Digital Multimeter - for measuring various properties of a circuit or circuit element such as resistance...) is the sum of the reciprocals of their individual resistances.

For example if two resistors of resistances R₁ and R₂ are connected together in parallel, the reciprocal of their combined resistance Rₓ is given by;

\frac{1}{R_x} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}

Solving for Rₓ gives;

R_{x} = \frac{R_1 * R_2}{R_1 + R_2}          ------------------(i)

From the question;

Let

R₁ = resistance of first resistor = 40Ω

R₂ =  resistance of second resistor = 60Ω

Now,

To get their combined or total resistance, Rₓ, substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;  

R_{x} = \frac{40 * 60}{40 + 60}

R_{x} = \frac{2400}{100}

R_{x} = 24 Ω

Therefore, the total resistance is 24Ω

Why might construction crews want to install pipes before the foundation is poured
Crazy boy [7]

The answer is choice C

Explanation:

As during construction ,the site is cleared for all debris before laying out the foundation. Even the sewer lines are dug out .

So it will be useful for the construction crews to  connect the pipes to the sewer lines before the foundation is poured.

But usually the steps take in construction activity is:- first the site is cleared for the foundation to be poured  and once the foundation wall is set , then all utilities , including plumbing and electrical activities are done.,

After this process is over, the city inspector comes to check whether the foundation has been laid down as per the code of construction.

Only after that the rest of the construction activity follows through.

Fibonacci sequence has many applications in Computer Science. Write a program to generate Fibonacci numbers as many as desired.
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The Python Code for Fibonacci Sequence is :

# Function for nth Fibonacci number  

def Fibonacci(n):  

if n<0:  

 print("Incorrect input")  

# First Fibonacci number is 0  

elif n==0:  

 return 0

# Second Fibonacci number is 1  

elif n==1:  

 return 1

else:  

 return Fibonacci(n-1)+Fibonacci(n-2)  

# Driver Program  

print(Fibonacci(9))  

Explanation:

The Fibonacci numbers are the numbers in the following integer sequence.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ……..

In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation

Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2

with seed values

F0 = 0 and F1 = 1.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Improved/ advanced types of Actuators include servo systems, create a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion.

Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Explanation:

An actuator control system is referred to as any electronic, electrical, or electromechanical system often used to activate an actuator, control the direction as well as extent and duration of its output. Actuator control systems could take the form of extremely simple, manually-operated, start-and-stop stations, either sophisticated or programmable computer systems. The more improved/ advanced types include servo systems that produce a large range of actuator motion in response to the changing needs of the operational environment or process. This type of actuator control system uses an interface arrangement that assimilates feedback from the process or mechanism and adjusts the actuator in the right way. Most actuator systems will include at least a set of travel limits that prevent the actuator destroying itself or the secondary mechanism.

Actuators are local or automated suppliers of working motion. They are used to changes, adjust, or move a secondary mechanism, where a physical operator cannot intervene directly. They are denoted by a large range of varying types using electrical and electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic power sources to create linear or rotary outputs. One element they all have in common is the actuator control system used to start, stop, and adjust the range, speed, and duration of the working motion.

Actuators can produce a linear motion, rotary motion or oscillatory motion which means they can create motion in one direction, in a circular motion or in opposite directions at regular intervals. Hydraulic and air cylinders can be classified as single-acting cylinders, meaning that the energy source result in movement in one direction and a spring is used for the other direction.

Question 74
torisob [31]

Answer:

C). rearview mirror (at least of four inches by four inches).

Explanation:

<u>A 'rearview mirror' would be needed in case one is required to pull an individual on water skis after a PWC(personal watercraft) that is rated for carrying two persons only</u>. This wide-angle mirror for rearview would allow the operator to monitor the person who is being towed constantly along with riding the ski at the same time. It is considered illegal to tow a person on a vessel without having a rearview mirror and at the same time, the limited capacity must also be followed strictly. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
