Why is a building considered a type of system?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: The Construction of building involves a group of departments in framing its physical appearance and outlook.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The system explains a set of individuals or activities working together in a network. The building system is designed to withstand the effect of gravity and impact of winds and stress.

Lateral loads and vertical gravity loads are the effects imparted in this system. This system ensures proper safety, security and resource management of the people.

There are three major types involved in the structural system of a building such as low-rise, high-rise, and long span.

Long span structures are greater than 30 meters high and are column-free spaces.
High rise structures are tall buildings ranges from [23-150m] and are reinforced concrete with steel.

A particle moving on a straight line has acceleration a = 5-3t, and its velocity is 7 at time t = 2. If s(t) is the distance fro

Vikki [24]

Given acceleration a = 5-3t, and its velocity is 7 at time t = 2, the value of s2 - s1 = 7

<h3>How to solve for the value of s2 - s1</h3>

We have

= $\frac{dv}{dt} =v't = 5-3t\\\\\int\limits^a_b {v'(t)} \, dt$

$= \int\limits^a_b {(5-3t)} \, dt$

$5t - \frac{3t^2}{2} +c$

v2 = 5x2 - 3x2 + c

= 10-6+c

= 4+c

$s(t) = \frac{5t^2}{2} -\frac{t^3}{2} +3t + c$

S2 - S1

$=(5*\frac{4}{2} -\frac{8}{2} +3*2*c)-(\frac{5}{2} *1^2-\frac{1^2}{2} +3*1*c)$

= 6 + 6+c - 2+3+c

12+c-5+c = 0

7 = c

A budding electronics hobbyist wants to make a simple 1.0-nF capacitor for tuning her crystal radio, using two sheets of aluminu

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a. 8 sheets of paper is needed between her plates to get the proper capacitance

b. Area of Aluminum Foil needed = 0.45m²

c. To keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the distance between two plates.

This is given by

d = Kε0A/C

Where

K = 3

ε0 = Physical Constant = 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²

A = Area = 22 * 28 = 616cm² = 0.0616m²

C = 1.0-nF = 1 * 10^-12F

So, d = (3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm² * 0.0616) / (1 * 10^-12F)

d = 1.64 * 10^-3m

d = 1.64mm

Now, that the distance has been solved.

The Number of Sheets, N is given by

N = d/d,sheet where d, sheet =the sheet thickness = 0.2mm

N = 1.64/0.2

N = 8.2

N = 8 sheets --- Approximated

Here, she's changed the diameter of the sheets to 12mm

Well make use of the formula in (a) above

Using d = Kε0A/C

Where

d = 12 * 10^-3m

Other constraints remain unchanged

Make A the subject of formula

A = dC/Kε0

A = (12 * 10^-3m * 1 * 10^-12F)/(3 * 8.854 * 10^-12 C²/Nm²)

A= 0.45m²

c. From (b) above

A ∝ 1/K

As the dielectric constant increase, the area decreases

The dielectric constant of a Teflon is 2.1

This means that if she used a Teflon instead, the area will be larger.

So, to keep a 1.0-nF, a larger area of Teflon is required.

A 800-MW steam power plant, which is cooled by a nearby river, has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent. Determine the rate of hea

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes

Explanation:

In order to find the actual heat transfer rate is lower or higher than its value we will first find the rate of heat transfer to power plant:

$Efficiency=\frac{work}{heat transfer to power plant}$

$Heat transfer=\frac{work}{Efficiency\\} \\\\Heat transfer=\frac{800}{0.40}\\\\Heat transfer=2000MW$

From First law of thermodynamics:

Rate of heat transfer to river=heat transfer to power plant-work done

Rate of heat transfer to river=2000-800

Rate of heat transfer to river=1200MW

So the actual amount of heat rejected ti the river will be less as there will some heat loss to surrounding and in pipes.
