A zener diode exhibits a constant voltage of 5.6 V for currents greater than five times the knee current. IZK is specified to be

1 mA. The zener is to be used in the design of a shunt regulator fed from a 15-V supply. The load current varies over the range of 0 mA to 15 mA. Find a suitable value for the resistor R. What is the maximum power dissipation of the zener diode?

Answer:

The maximum power dissipation of the zener diode 112mV.

Explanation:

The minimum zener current should be:

5 * Iza= 5 * 1=  5 mA.

Since the load current can be at maximum 15 mA, we should select R so that, IL= 15 mA.

A zener current of 5 mA is available, Thus the current should be 20 mA, which leads to,

R = \frac{15 - 5.6}{20 mA} = 470 Ω.

Maximum power dissipated in the diode occours when, IL=0 is

Pmax = 20 * 10^{3} * 5.6 = 112mV.

Knowing that v = –8 m/s when t = 0 and v = 8 m/s when t = 2 s, determine the constant k. (Round the final answer to the nearest
docker41 [41]

Answer:

a)We know that acceleration a=dv/dt

So dv/dt=kt^2

dv=kt^2dt

Integrating we get

v(t)=kt^3/3+C

Puttin t=0

-8=C

Putting t=2

8=8k/3-8

k=48/8

k=6

A plate clutch has a single friction surface 9-in OD by 7-in ID. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the maximum pressure is
Talja [164]

Answer:

the torque capacity is  30316.369 lb-in

Explanation:

Given data

OD = 9 in

ID = 7 in

coefficient of friction = 0.2

maximum pressure = 1.5 in-kip = 1500 lb

To find out

the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure assumption.

Solution

We know the the torque formula for uniform pressure theory is

torque = 2/3 × \pi × coefficient of friction × maximum pressure ( R³ - r³ )    .....................................1

here R = OD/2 = 4.5 in and r = ID/2 = 3.5 in

now put all these value R, r, coefficient of friction and  maximum pressure in equation 1 and we will get here torque

torque = 2/3 × \pi × 0.2 × 1500 ( 4.5³ - 3.5³ )

so the torque =  30316.369 lb-in
