Answer:

1425.78 N.m

Explanation:

Moments of force is calculated as ;

Moments= Force * distance

M= F*d

The S.I unit for moment of force is Newton-meter (N.m)

Given in the question;

Force = 72 lbs

1 pound = 4.45 N

72 lbs = 4.45 * 72=320.4 N

Distance= 15 ft

1ft= 0.3048 m

15 ft = 15*0.3048 = 4.57 m

d= 4.57 m

M= F*d

M=320.4*4.57 =1425.78 N.m

Imagine you compare the effectiveness of four different types of stimulant to keep you awake while revising statistics using a o

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The correct answer is At least two of the stimulants will have different effects on the mean time spent awake.

Explanation:

The null hypothesis exposed leads to consider an alternative hypothesis that differs from the behavior of the 4 stimulants. In this case it is related to the effects on patients, since in practice at least one will present differences compared to the others, influencing the sleep time of consumers.

A thick aluminum block initially at 26.5°C is subjected to constant heat flux of 4000 W/m2 by an electric resistance heater whos

Yanka [14]

Given Information:

Initial temperature of aluminum block = 26.5°C

Heat flux = 4000 w/m²

Time = 2112 seconds

Time = 30 minutes = 30*60 = 1800 seconds

Required Information:

Rise in surface temperature = ?

Answer:

Rise in surface temperature = 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds

Rise in surface temperature = 8 °C after 30 minutes

Explanation:

The surface temperature of the aluminum block is given by

$T_{surface} = T_{initial} + \frac{q}{k} \sqrt{\frac{4\alpha t}{\pi} }$

Where q is the heat flux supplied to aluminum block, k is the conductivity of pure aluminum and α is the diffusivity of pure aluminum.

After t = 2112 sec:

$T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (2112)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.51098)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 8.6\\\\T_{surface} = 35.1\\\\$

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 35.1 - 26.5 = 8.6 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds.

After t = 30 mins:

$T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (1800)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.4717)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 7.96\\\\T_{surface} = 34.5\\\\$
