6 0

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.

densk [106]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : attached below

Explanation:

let ; x(t) be a real value signal for x ( jw ) = 0 , |w| > 200 $\pi$

g(t) = x ( t ) sin ( 2000 $\pi t )$

$x_{1} (t) = \frac{1}{2} x(t) sin ( 4000\pi t )$

next we apply Fourier transform

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The break force that must be applied to hold the plane stationary is 12597.4 N

Explanation:

p₁ = p₂, T₁ = T₂

$\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} \right )^{\frac{K-1}{k} }$

${T_{2}}{} = T_{1} \times \left (\dfrac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} \right )^{\frac{K-1}{k} } = 280.15 \times \left (9 \right )^{\frac{1.333-1}{1.333} } = 485.03\ K$
