Answer:
The system's Mean Time to Failure is 1,041. hours
Explanation:
The number of independent identical motors = 4
The failure rate of each motor, λ = 0.002 failures per hour
Given that in order for the system to work, at least one of the motors must operate, therefore, the system are in parallel
The Mean Time to Failure for a parallel system of four identical components is given as follows;
Which gives;
The system's Mean Time to Failure = 1,041. hours.
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The net force acting on the box is 17 - 13 = 4 N to the right.
The box moves on a friction surface by 3.5 m to the right.
By definition,
Work = Force x Distance.
(a) The work done by the girl is
W₁ = (17 N)*(3.5 m) = 59.5 J
(b) The work done by the boy is
W₂ = (13 N)*(-3.5 m) = - 45.5 J
(c) The work done by the net force is
W₃ = (4 N)*(3.5 m) = 14 J
Note that W₃ = W₁ + W₂
Answers:
(a) 59.5 J
(b) - 45.5 J
(c) 14 J
