Answer:

d = 2.69 mm

Explanation:

Assuming the cable is rated with a factor of safety of 1.

The stress on the cable is:

σ = P/A

Where

σ = normal stress

P: load

A: cross section

The section area of a circle is:

A = π/4 * d^2

Then:

σ = 4*P / (π*d^2)

Rearranging:

d^2 = 4*P / (π*σ)

$d = \sqrt{4*P / (\pi*\sigma)}$

Replacing:

$d = \sqrt{4*800 / (\pi*\90000)} = 0.106 inches$

0.106 inches = 2.69 mm

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

The last stage of gears found between the vehicle transmission system and the wheels is the final drive ratio. The function of the final drive gear assembly is to enable a gear reduction control stage to reduce the rotation per minute and increase the wheel torque, such that the vehicle performance can be adjusted and the final gear ratio can be between 3:1 and 4.5:1 not 1:1

Therefore, technician B only is correct

An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 0.15 of saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 0.8 MPa pressure. The refrigerant is no

Stells [14]

Answer:

Assumption:

1. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible

2. The cylinder is well insulated and thus heat transfer is negligible.

3. The thermal energy stored in the cylinder itself is negligible.

4. The process is stated to be reversible

Analysis:

a. This is reversible adiabatic(i.e isentropic) process and thus $s_{1} =s_{2}$

From the refrigerant table A11-A13

$P_{1} =0.8MPa$ $\left \{ {{ {{v_{1}=v_{g} @0.8MPa =0.025645 m^{3/}/kg } } \atop { {{u_{1}=u_{g} @0.8MPa =246.82 kJ/kg } - also {{s_{1}=s_{g} @0.8MPa =0.91853 kJ/kgK } } \right.$

sat vapor

m= $\frac{V}{v_{1} } =\frac{0.15}{0.025645} =5.8491 kg\\and \\\\P_{2} =0.2MPa \left \{ {{x_{2} =\frac{s_{2} -s_{f} }{s_{fg }}=\frac{0.91853-0.15449}{0.78339} = 0.9753 \atop {u_{2} =u_{f} +x_{2} }(u_{fg}) = 38.26+0.9753(186.25)= 38.26+181.65 =219.9kJ/kg \right. \\s_{1} = s_{2}$

$T_{2} =T_{sat @ 0.2MPa} = -10.09^{o} C$

b.) We take the content of the cylinder as the sysytem.

This is a closed system since no mass leaves or enters.

Hence, the energy balance for adiabatic closed system can be expressed as:

$E_{in} - E_{out} =$ ΔE

$w_{b, out} =$ ΔU

$w_{b, out} =m([tex]u_{1} -u_{2$ )

$w_{b, out} =$ workdone during the isentropic process

=5.8491(246.82-219.9)

=5.8491(26.91)

=157.3993

=157.4kJ
