Answer:

C. Welded contacts on the thermostat

Explanation:

Any fault that keeps the heating element heating when it should not is a fault that will cause the symptom described. The details <em>depend on the design of the brewer</em> (not given).

"A short at the terminals" depends on what terminals are being referenced. The device on-off switch terminals are normally connected together when the brewer is turned on, so a short there may not be observable.

"Welded contacts on the thermostat" will have the observed effect if the thermostat is the primary means of ending the brewing cycle. If the thermostat of interest is an overheat protective device not normally involved in ending the brewing cycle, then that fault may not cause the observed symptom.

If the heating element is open-circuit, no heating will occur. A gasket leak may cause a puddle, but may have nothing to do with the end of the brewing cycle. (Loss of water can be expected to end boiling, rather than prolong it.)

Answer:

The population size would be $p' = 5000$

The yield would be $MaxYield = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year$

Explanation:

So in this problem we are going to be examining the application of a population dynamics a fishing pond and stock fishing and objective would be to obtain the maximum sustainable yield and and the population of the fish at the obtained maximum sustainable yield, so basically we would be applying an engineering solution to fishing

So the current yield which is mathematically represented as

$\frac{dN}{dt} = \frac{2000}{1 \ year }$

Where dN is the change in the number of fish

and dt is the change in time

So in order to obtain the solution we need to obtain the rate of growth

For this we would be making use of the growth rate equation which is

$r = \frac{[\frac{dN}{dt}] }{N[1-\frac{N}{K} ]}$

Where N is the population of the fish which is given as 4,000 fishes

and K is the carrying capacity which is given as 10,000 fishes

r is the growth rate

Substituting these values into the equation

$r = \frac{[\frac{2000}{year}] }{4000[1-\frac{4000}{10,000} ]} =0.833$

The maximum sustainable yield would be dependent on the growth rate an the carrying capacity and this mathematically represented as

$Max Yield = \frac{rK}{4} = \frac{(10,000)(0.833)}{4} = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year$

So since the maximum sustainable yield is 2082 then the the population need to be higher than 4,000 so in order to ensure a that this maximum yield the population size denoted by $p'$ would be

$p' = \frac{K}{2} = \frac{10,000}{2} = 5000\ fishes$

Distinguish between systems analysis and systems design?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

System analysis can be defined as a deep analysis of a part of the structure of a module that has been designed before. System design means to make any module or a part of the structure from scratch and build it completely without estimation.
