The sliders A and B are connected by a light rigid bar of length l = 20 in. and move with negligible friction in the slots, both

of which lie in a horizontal plane. For the position where xA = 16 in., the velocity of A is vA = 3 ft/sec to the right. Determine the acceleration of each slider and the force in the bar at this instant.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

- The Length of the rigid bar L = 20 in

- The position of slider a, x_a = 16 in

- The position of slider b, y_b

- The velocity of slider a, v_a = 3 ft /s

- The velocity of slider b, v_b

- The acceleration of slider a, a_a

- The acceleration of slider b, a_b

Find:

-Determine the acceleration of each slider and the force in the bar at this instant.

Solution:

- The relationship between the length L of the rod and the positions x_a and x_b of sliders A & B is as follows:

L^2 = x_a^2 + y_b^2 ....... 1

y_b = sqrt( 20^2 - 16^2 )

y_b = 12

- The velocity expression can derived by taking a derivation of Eq 1 with respect to time t:

0 = 2*x_a*v_a + 2*y_b*v_b

0 = x_a*v_a + y_b*v_b ..... 2

0 = 16*36 + 12*v_b

v_b = - 48 in /s = -4 ft/s

- Similarly, the acceleration expression can be derived by taking a derivative of Eq 2 with respect to time t:

0 = v_a^2 + x_a*a_a + v_b^2 + y_b*a_b

0 = 9 + 4*a_a/3 + 16 + a_b

4*a_a/3 + a_b = -25

4*a_a + 3*a_b = -75 .... 3

- Use dynamics on each slider. For Slider A, Apply Newton's second law of motion in x direction:

F_x = m_a*a_a

P - R_r*16/20 = m_a*a_a

- For Slider B, Apply Newton's second law of motion in y direction:

F_y = m_b*a_b

- R_r*12/20 = m_b*a_b

- Combine the two dynamic equations:

P - 4*m_b*a_b / 3 = m_a*a_a

3P = 3*m_a*a_a + 4*m_b*a_b ... 4

- Where, P = Is the force acting on slider A

P , m_a and m_b are known quantities but not given in question. We are to solve Eq 3 and Eq 4 simultaneously for a_a and a_b.

(TCO 1) Name one disadvantage of fixed-configuration switches over modular switches. a. Ease of management b. Port security b. F

frutty [35]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Two main types of network switches, modular and fixed configuration switches, are used for connecting the devices with one another provided they are on the same network.

As the name suggests, modular switches can be configured according to your needs and specific situations where you need a different setup.

The one advantage fixed-configuration switches have over the modular switches is that they are easier to operate. You can't change anything for a different application but they are simpler to setup and use, you can just plug them in and start using. They are usually for the more casual end-user and home networks etc.

I hope this answer helps.

java Write a program that simulates tossing a coin. Prompt the user for how many times to toss the coin. Code a method with no p

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Java.

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner inNum = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number of toss: ");
int num = inNum.nextInt();
for(int i=0; i < num; i++){
System.out.println(toss());
}
}
public static String toss(){
String option[] = {"heads", "tails"};
Random rand = new Random();
return option[rand.nextInt(2)];
}
}

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a function <em>toss()</em> with no parameter but will return a string (Line 14). Within the function body, create an option array with two elements, "heads" and "tails" (Line 15). Next create a Random object (Line 16) and use <em>nextInt()</em> method to get random value either 0 or 1. Please note we need to pass the value of 2 into <em>nextInx() </em>method to ensure the random value generated is either 0 or 1. We use this generate random value as an index of <em>option </em>array and return either "heads" or "tails" as output (Line 17).

In the main program, we create Scanner object and use it to prompt user to input an number for how many times to toss the coin (Line 6 - 7). Next, we use the input num to control how many times a for loop should run (Line 9). In each round of the loop, call the function <em>toss() </em>and print the output to terminal (Line 10).

Consider a modification of the air-standard Otto cycle in which the isentropic compression and expansion processes are each repl

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(1) Process 1 to 2

W = 295.16 kJ/kg

Q = -73.79 kJ/kg

(2) Process 2 to 3

W = 0

Q = 1135.376 kJ/kg

(3) Process 3 to 4

W = -1049.835 kJ/kg

Q = 262.459 kJ/kg

(4) Process 4 to 3

W=0

Q = -569.09 kJ/kg

(b) The thermal efficiency = 49.9 %

(c) The mean effective pressure is 9.44 bar

Explanation:

(a) Volume compression ratio $\frac{v_1}{v_2} = 10$

Initial pressure p₁ = 1 bar

Initial temperature, T₁ = 310 K

cp = 1.005 kJ/kg⋅K

Temperature T₃ = 2200 K from the isentropic chart of the Otto cycle

For a polytropic process we have

$\frac{p_1}{p_2} = (\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^n$ Therefore p₂ = p₁ ÷ $(\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^n$ = (1 bar) ÷ $(\frac{1}{10} )^{1.3}$ = 19.953 bar

Similarly for a polytropic process we have

$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = (\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^{n-1}$ or T₂ = T₁ ÷ $(\frac{v_2}{v_1} )^{n-1}$ = $\frac{310}{0.1^{0.3}}$ = 618.531 K

The molar mass of air is 28.9628 g/mol.

Therefore R = $\frac{8.3145}{28.9628}$ = 0.287 kJ/kg⋅K

cp = 1.005 kJ/kg⋅K Therefore cv = cp - R = 1.005- 0.287 = 0.718 kJ/kg⋅K

1). For process 1 to 2 which is polytropic process we have

W = $\frac{R(T_2-T_1)}{n-1}$ = $\frac{0.287(618.531-310)}{1.3 - 1}$ = 295.16 kJ/kg

Q = $(\frac{n-\gamma}{\gamma - 1} )W$ = $(\frac{1.3-1.4}{1.4-1} ) 295.16 kJ/kg$ = -73.79 kJ/kg

W = 295.16 kJ/kg

Q = -73.79 kJ/kg

2). For process 2 to 3 which is reversible constant volume heating we have

W = 0 and Q = cv×(T₃ - T₂) = 0.718× (2200-618.531) = 1135.376 kJ/kg

W = 0

Q = 1135.376 kJ/kg

3). For process 3 to 4 which is polytropic process we have

W = $\frac{R(T_4-T_3)}{n-1}$ = Where T₄ is given by $\frac{T_4}{T_3} = (\frac{v_3}{v_4} )^{n-1}$ or T₄ = T₃ × $0.1^{0.3}$

= 2200 × $0.1^{0.3}$ T₄ = 1102.611 K

W = $\frac{0.287(1102.611-2200)}{1.3 - 1}$ = -1049.835 kJ/kg

and Q = 262.459 kJ/kg

W = -1049.835 kJ/kg

Q = 262.459 kJ/kg

4). For process 4 to 1 which is reversible constant volume cooling we have

W = 0 and Q = cv×(T₁ - T₄) = 0.718×(310 - 1102.611) = -569.09 kJ/kg

W=0

Q = -569.09 kJ/kg

(b) The thermal efficiency is given by

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_4-T_1}{T_3-T_2}$ = $1-\frac{1102.611-310}{2200-618.531}$ = 0.499 or 49.9 % Efficient

(c) The mean effective pressure is given by

$p_{m} = \frac{p_1r[(r^{n-1}-1)(r_p-1)]}{ (n-1)(r-1)}$ where r = compression ratio and $r_p$ = $\frac{p_3}{p_2}$

However p₃ = $\frac{p_2T_3}{T_2}$ = $\frac{(19.953)(2200)}{618.531}$ =70.97 atm

$r_p$ = $\frac{p_3}{p_2}$ = $\frac{70.97}{19.953} = 3.56$

Therefore $p_m =\frac{1*10*[(10^{0.3}-1)(3.56-1)]}{0.3*9}$ = 9.44 bar
