kari74 [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The minimum diameter for each cable should be 0.65 inches.

Explanation:

Since, the load is supported by two ropes and the allowable stress in each rope is 1500 psi. Therefore,

(1/2)(Weight/Cross Sectional Area) = Allowable Stress

Here,

Weight = 1000 lb

Cross-sectional area = πr²

where, r = minimum radius for each cable

(1/2)(1000 lb/πr²) = 1500 psi

500 lb/1500π psi = r²

r = √1.061 in²

r = 0.325 in

Now, for diameter:

Diameter = 2(radius) = 2r

Diameter = 2(0.325 in)

<u>Diameter = 0.65 in</u>

amm1812

Answer: The overhead percentage is 7.7%.

Explanation:

We call overhead, to all those bytes that are delivered to the physical layer, that don't carry real data.

We are told that we have 700 bytes of application data, so all the other bytes are simply overhead, i.e. , 58 bytes composed by the transport layer header, the network layer header, the 14 byte header at the data link layer and the 4 byte trailer at the data link layer.

So, in order to assess the overhead percentage, we divide the overhead bytes between the total quantity of bytes sent to the physical layer, as follows:

OH % = (58 / 758) * 100 = 7.7 %

Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the comp
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 358.8K

b) 181.1 kJ/kg.K

c) 0.0068 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100kPa

P2= 800kPa

T1 = 22°C = 22+273 = 295K

q_out = 120 kJ/kg

∆S_air = 0.40 kJ/kg.k

T2 =??

a) Using the formula for change in entropy of air, we have:

∆S_air = c_p In \frac{T_2}{T_1} - Rln \frac{P_2}{P_1}

Let's take gas constant, Cp= 1.005 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Solving, we have:

[/tex] -0.40= (1.005)ln\frac{T_2}{295} ln\frac{800}{100}[/tex]

-0.40= 1.005(ln T_2 - 5.68697)- 0.5968

Solving for T2 we have:

T_2 = 5.8828

Taking the exponential on the equation (both sides), we have:

[/tex] T_2 = e^5^.^8^8^2^8 = 358.8K[/tex]

b) Work input to compressor:

w_in = c_p(T_2 - T_1)+q_out

w_in = 1.005(358.8 - 295)+120

= 184.1 kJ/kg

c) Entropy genered during this process, we use the expression;

Egen = ∆Eair + ∆Es

Where; Egen = generated entropy

∆Eair = Entropy change of air in compressor

∆Es = Entropy change in surrounding.

We need to first find ∆Es, since it is unknown.

Therefore ∆Es = \frac{q_out}{T_1}

\frac{120kJ/kg.k}{295K}

∆Es = 0.4068kJ/kg.k

Hence, entropy generated, Egen will be calculated as:

= -0.40 kJ/kg.K + 0.40608kJ/kg.K

= 0.0068kJ/kg.k

The underground cafe has an operating cash flow of $187,000 and a cash flow to creditors of $71,400 for the past year. During th
Serggg [28]

Answer:

cash flow to stockholders = $39,700

Explanation:

Operating cash flow = $187,000

cash flow to creditors = $71,400

Net working capital = $28,000

Net capital spending =  $47,900

Cash flow to stockholders = ?

CFF = operating cash flow - net working capital - net capital spending

CFF = $187,000 - $28,000 - $47,900 = $111,100

CFF = cash flow to creditors + cash flow to stockholders

cash flow to stockholders = CFF - cash flow to creditors

cash flow to stockholders = $111,100 - $71,400 = $39,700

Hence $39,700 is the amount of the cash flow to stockholders for the last year.

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
