Answer:

The material cost for making one ton of the brass sample that I have is $8149.04.

Explanation:

Density of copper = 8.96 g/cm^3 = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of copper = $6.13/kg

Price of copper per volume = 8.96×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $6.13/kg = $0.0549/cm^3

Density of zinc = 7.14 g/cm^3 = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3

Price of zinc = $1.8/kg

Price of zinc per volume = 7.14×10^-3 kg/cm^3 × $1.8/kg = $0.0129/cm^3

Price of brass per volume = 0.0549 + 0.0129 = $0.0678/cm^3

Density of brass I have is 8.32 g/cm^3 = 8.32 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × 1 ton/1000 kg = 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3

Price = $0.0678/cm^3 ÷ 8.32×10^-6 ton/cm^3 = $8149.04/ton

Answer:

  The Price of making 1 Ton of Brass is  =  $4180.4

Explanation:

Generally density of an alloy is mathematically represented as

              Z = \sum A *\rho

  Where Z is the Average density of an alloy

               A is the fraction of metal

               \rho is the density of metal

From the question we are told that  brass  is an alloy made of copper and zinc

 Let assume that the percentage of copper in Brass is y%

   The the percentage of the zinc would be  (100 - y )%

   Substituting this into the formula

                8.32 g/cm^3 =\frac{y}{100} * 8.96 + \frac{(100 -x)}{100} * 7.14

=>              832 = 8.96y  + 714 - 7.14y

=>             8.96y - 7.14y = 832-714

=>              1.82y = 118

=>                    y = \frac{118}{1.82} = 64.84%

    This implies that the percentage of copper in Brass is 64.84%

        This mean that the percentage of zinc in Brass is (100- 64.84) = 35.16%

   Generally One Ton of Brass =  907.185Kg

So amount of copper in this is

                   = \frac{64.84}{100} * 907.185 = 588.29 Kg

And the price would be   = 588.29 * 6.13 = $3606

And the amount of zinc is  = \frac{35.16}{100} * 907.185 =318.97Kg

And the price would be   = 318.97 * 1.80= $574.146        

  The Price of making 1 Ton of Brass is  = 3606 + 574.146 = $4180.4

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

F_{2}=I_2lB_1

F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

F_2=-F_1

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.

Approximately how many news cases of STIs occur in the United States
galben [10]

<u>Approximately 20 million new cases of STIs occur every year in United</u> <u>States.Half of the new cases occur in young people aged between 15–24. </u>

Though younger people are accountable for nearly half of new cases, a recently taken study showed that last year, only around 12% underwent the test for STIs. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year, undiagnosed STIs causes 24,000 women to become infertile.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a substantial health challenge which the United States is facing. A very Strong public health awareness and infrastructure is crucial to prevent and control STIs, especially among the younger generation.
