Suppose you have two boxes in front of you. One box contains a Thevenin Equivalent (voltage source in series with a resistor) an

fomenos

Answer:

1. Measure the temperature of the boxes and leave them unconnected.

2. Norton reduces his circuit down to a single resistance in parallel with a constant current source. A real-life Norton equivalent circuit would be continuously wasting power (as heat) as the current source dumps energy into the resistor, even when externally unconnected, while a Thevenin equivalent circuit would sit there doing nothing.

3. The Norton equivalent box would get warm and eventually run out of power. The Thevenin equivalent box would stay at ambient temperature.

The time factor for a doubly drained clay layer

Margarita [4]

Answer with Explanation:

Assuming that the degree of consolidation is less than 60% the relation between time factor and the degree of consolidation is

$T_v=\frac{\pi }{4}(\frac{U}{100})^2$

Solving for 'U' we get

$\frac{\pi }{4}(\frac{U}{100})^2=0.2\\\\(\frac{U}{100})^2=\frac{4\times 0.2}{\pi }\\\\\therefore U=100\times \sqrt{\frac{4\times 0.2}{\pi }}=50.46%$

Since our assumption is correct thus we conclude that degree of consolidation is 50.46%

The consolidation at different level's is obtained from the attached graph corresponding to Tv = 0.2

i) $\frac{z}{H}=0.25=U=0.71$ = 71% consolidation

ii) $\frac{z}{H}=0.5=U=0.45$ = 45% consolidation

iii) $\frac{z}{H}=0.75U=0.3$ = 30% consolidation

Part b)

The degree of consolidation is given by

$\frac{\Delta H}{H_f}=U\\\\\frac{\Delta H}{1.0}=0.5046\\\\\therefore \Delta H=50.46cm$

Thus a settlement of 50.46 centimeters has occurred

For time factor 0.7, U is given by

$T_v=1.781-0.933log(100-U)\\\\0.7=1.781-0.933log(100-U)\\\\log(100-U)=\frac{1.780-.7}{0.933}=1.1586\\\\\therefore U=100-10^{1.1586}=85.59$

thus consolidation of 85.59 % has occured if time factor is 0.7

The degree of consolidation is given by

$\frac{\Delta H}{H_f}=U\\\\\frac{\Delta H}{1.0}=0.8559\\\\\therefore \Delta H=85.59cm$

The yield stress of a steel is 250Mpa. A steel rod used for implant in a femurneeds to withstand 29KN. What should the diameter

OleMash [197]

Answer:

r = 1.922 mm

Explanation:

We are given;

Yield stress; σ = 250 MPa = 250 N/mm²

Force; F = 29 KN = 29000 N

Now, formula for yield stress is;

σ = F/A

A = F/σ

Where A is area = πr²

Thus;

r² = 2900/250π

r² = 3.6924

r = √3.6924

r = 1.922 mm

when electric power is transmitted over long distance, line losses can be reduced by generating AC rather than DC voltage and by

Tanya [424]

When electric power is transferred over a long distance then, line loss can be reduced by high voltage and low current. Thus, option A is correct.

<h3>What is electric power?</h3>

The complete question is attached to the image below.

The electric circuit transfers the electric current then it is called electric power. The loss in the line over a larger distance is reduced by transferring AC instead of DC voltage.

The AC transmitted is of high voltage, and the power is low. The equation for current is given,

P = VI

The increase in the voltage causes the decrease in the current and in turn the resistance also reduces resulting in the loss of the power of the circuit to decrease.

Therefore, the loss is reduced by transferring high voltage and, low current AC.
