An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown

liquid is 1.5 m and the depth of the oil (specific weight = 8.5 kN/m3) floating on top is 5.0 m. A pressure gage connected to the bottom of the tank reads 65 kPa. What is the specific gravity of the unknown liquid?

Answer:

The specific weight of unknown liquid is found to be 15 KN/m³

Explanation:

The total pressure in tank is measured to be 65 KPa in the tank. But, the total pressure will be equal to the sum of pressures due to both oil and unknown liquid.

Total Pressure = Pressure of oil + Pressure of unknown liquid

65 KPa = (Specific Weight of oil)(depth of oil) + (Specific Weight of unknown liquid)(depth of unknown liquid)

65 KN/m² = (8.5 KN/m³)(5 m) + (Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m)

(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m) = 65 KN/m² - 42.5 KN/m²

(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid) = (22.5 KN/m²)/1.5 m

<u>Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid = 15 KN/m³</u>

You have the assignment of designing color codes for different parts. Three colors are used on each part, but a combination of t
Masja [62]

Answer:

7 available

Explanation:

Since 3 colors are available r = 3

Total combination = 35

nCr = 35 ---1

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!---2

We put equation 1 and 2 together

n-1)(n-2)(n-3)!/n-3)! = 35x 3!

We cancel out (n-3)!

(n-1)(n-2) = 210

7x6x5 = 210

nC3 = 35

7C3 = 35

So If there are 35 combinations, 7 colors are available.

Thank you!

I. The time till failure of an electronic component has an Exponential distribution and it is known that 10% of components have
drek231 [11]

Answer:

(a) The mean time to fail is 9491.22 hours

The standard deviation time to fail is 9491.22 hours

(b) 0.5905

(c) 3.915 × 10⁻¹²

(d) 2.63 × 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

(a) We put time to fail = t

∴ For an exponential distribution, we have f(t) = \lambda e^{-\lambda t}

Where we have a failure rate = 10% for 1000 hours, we have(based on online resource);

P(t \leq 1000) = \int\limits^{1000}_0 {\lambda e^{-\lambda t}} \, dt = \dfrac{e^{1000\lambda}-1}{e^{1000\lambda}} = 0.1

e^(1000·λ) - 0.1·e^(1000·λ) = 1

0.9·e^(1000·λ) = 1

1000·λ = ㏑(1/0.9)

λ = 1.054 × 10⁻⁴

Hence the mean time to fail, E = 1/λ = 1/(1.054 × 10⁻⁴) = 9491.22 hours

The standard deviation = √(1/λ)² = √(1/(1.054 × 10⁻⁴)²)) = 9491.22 hours

b) Here we have to integrate from 5000 to ∞ as follows;

p(t>5000) = \int\limits^{\infty}_{5000} {\lambda e^{-\lambda t}} \, dt =\left [  -e^{\lambda t}\right ]_{5000}^{\infty} = e^{5000 \lambda} = 0.5905

(c) The Poisson distribution is presented as follows;

P(x = 3) = \dfrac{\lambda ^x e^{-x}}{x!}  = \frac{(1.0532 \times 10^{-4})^3 e^{-3} }{3!}  = 3.915\times 10^{-12}

p(x = 3) = 3.915 × 10⁻¹²

d) Where at least 2 components fail in one half hour, then 1 component is expected to fail in 15 minutes or 1/4 hours

The Cumulative Distribution Function is given as follows;

p( t ≤ 1/4) CDF = 1 - e^{-\lambda \times t} = 1 - e^{-1.054 \times 10 ^{-4} \times 1/4} = 2.63 \times 10 ^{-5}.

The volume fraction of particles in a WC-particle Cu-matrix CERMET is 0.84 Calculate the minimum expected elastic modulus, in GP
Lynna [10]

Answer:

the minimum expected elastic modulus is 372.27 Gpa

Explanation:

First we put down the data in the given question;

Volume fraction V_f = 0.84

Volume fraction of matrix material V_m = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Elastic module of particle E_f = 682 GPa

Elastic module of matrix material E_m = 110 GPa

Now, the minimum expected elastic modulus will be;

E_{CT = (E_f × E_m ) / ( E_fV_m  + E_m V_f  )

so we substitute in our values

E_{CT = (682 × 110 ) / ( [ 682 × 0.16 ]  + [ 110 × 0.84] )

E_{CT = ( 75,020 ) / ( 109.12 + 92.4 )

E_{CT = 75,020 / 201.52

E_{CT = 372.27 Gpa

Therefore, the minimum expected elastic modulus is 372.27 Gpa
