Answer:

Explanation:

a. Cast iron or Aluminium alloy are typically used. Aluminium is much lighter in weight and it can transfer heat better to the coolant. While Cast Iron is typically stronger and is thus still used by the manufacturers.

b. Copper can be used as a condensing heat exchanger for hot steam due to its optimal thermal properties and its ability to resist corrosion.

c. high-speed steel are perfect for producing drill bits because of its hardness and resistance to heat to an extent. Drill bits tend to produce heat as a result of the friction between it and the material to be drilled.

d. lead can be used as a container for strong acids because of its anti-corrosive properties

e.zinc and copper can be used as fuel in pyrotechnics mainly due to the fact that burn with refreshing colours. Aluminium can also be used.

f. Platinum is the metal that best suits this purpose because of its high melting point and resistivity to oxidation.

What is the resultant force on one side of a 25cm diameter circular plate standing at the bottom of 3m of pool water?

Tom [10]

Answer:

F=1.47 KN

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of plate = 25 cm

Height of pool h = 3 m

We know that force can be given as

F= P x A

P=ρ x g x h

Now by putting the values

P=1000 x 10 x 3

P= 30 KPa

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.25^2\ m^2$

$A=0.049\ m^2$

F= 30 x 0.049 KN

F=1.47 KN

So the force on the plate will be 1.47 KN.

Fluid power is a. The technology that deals with the generation, control, and transmission of power-using pressurized fluids b.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: a) The technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of power using pressurized fluids

Explanation: Fluid power is defined as the fluids which are under pressure and then are used for generation,control and transmit the power. Fluid power systems produces high forces as well as power in small amount . These systems usually tend to have better life if maintained properly. The force that are applied on this system can be monitored by gauges as well as meter.
