Two technicians are discussing the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. Technician A says that the computer uses the IAT sensor

as a backup to the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. Technician B says that the powertrain control module (PCM) will subtract the calculated amount of fuel if the air measures hot. Who is correct

Both the technicians are correct.

Explanation

Intake air temperature sensor is used in engines of vehicles to monitor the temperature of air entering the engine.

They are basically made of thermistors whose electrical resistance changes according to temperature.

Depending upon the reading and accuracy of intake air temperature sensor, the power-train control module (PCM) will decide about the air and fuel mixture ratio in the engine.

The hot air in engine requires less fuel to operate the engine parts while cold air requires more fuel to operate the engine.

The ratio of air and fuel mixture should be maintained in the engine and it is done by PCM only after getting the input from IAT. So technician B is saying correct.

Also the IAT works as a backup to support the engine coolant temperature sensor by the computer.

As the IAT checks the temperature of outside air, it will help to change the coolant temperature of the engine based on the environment.

Thus technician A is also correct. So both the technicians are correct.

Natali [406]

Answer:

Sarah is asking each department head how long they can be without their primary system. Sarah is trying to determine the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) as this is the duration of time within which the primary system must be restored after the disruption.

Recovery Point Objective is basically to determine the age of restoration or recovery point.

Business recovery and technical recovery requirements are to assess the requirements to recover by Business or technically.

Hence, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the correct answer.

A 100 ft long steel wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.0144 in.2. When a force of 270 lb is applied to the wire, its length in
blondinia [14]

Answer:

(a) The stress on the steel wire is 19,000 Psi

(b) The strain on the steel wire is 0.00063

(c) The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 30,000,000 Psi

Explanation:

Given;

length of steel wire, L = 100 ft

cross-sectional area, A = 0.0144 in²

applied force, F = 270 lb

extension of the wire, e = 0.75 in

<u>Part (A)</u> The stress on the steel wire;

δ = F/A

   = 270 / 0.0144

δ  = 18750 lb/in² = 19,000 Psi

<u>Part (B)</u> The strain on the steel wire;

σ = e/ L

L = 100 ft = 1200 in

σ = 0.75 / 1200

σ = 0.00063

<u>Part (C)</u> The modulus of elasticity of the steel

E = δ/σ

   = 19,000 / 0.00063

E = 30,000,000 Psi

ohaa [14]

Answer:

import pandas pd

def read_prices(tickers):

price_dict = {}

# Read ingthe ticker data for all the tickers

for ticker in tickers:

# Read data for one ticker using pandas.read_csv  

# We assume no column names in csv file

ticker_data = pd.read_csv("./" + ticker + ".csv", names=['date', 'price', 'volume'])

# ticker_data is now a panda data frame

# Creating dictionary

# for the ticker

price_dict[ticker] = {}

for i in range(len(ticker_data)):

# Use pandas.iloc  to access data

date = ticker_data.iloc[i]['date']

price = ticker_data.iloc[i]['price']

price_dict[ticker][date] = price

return price_dict

A sinusoidal wave of frequency 420 Hz has a speed of 310 m/s. (a) How far apart are two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad?
Olin [163]

Answer:

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad are 0.0461 m apart.

b) The phase difference between two displacements at a certain point at times 1.6 ms apart is 4π/3.

Explanation:

f = 420 Hz, v = 310 m/s, λ = wavelength = ?

v = fλ

λ = v/f = 310/420 = 0.738 m

T = periodic time of the wave = 1/420 = 0.00238 s = 0.0024 s = 2.4 ms

a) Two points that differ in phase by π/8 rad

In terms of the wavelength of the wave, this is equivalent to [(π/8)/2π] fraction of a wavelength,

[(π/8)/2π] = 1/16 of a wavelength = (1/16) × 0.738 = 0.0461 m

b) two displacements at times 1.6 ms apart.

In terms of periodic time, 1.6ms is (1.6/2.4) fraction of the periodic time.

1.6/2.4 = 2/3.

This means those two points are 2/3 fraction of a periodic time away from each other.

1 complete wave = 2π rad

Points 2/3 fraction of a wave from each other will have a phase difference of 2/3 × 2π = 4π/3.
