Solution:

$Given\\ $\quad W=3000 Ib , \quad m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{3000}{322} \ slug =93.1677 slug$\\K_{e q}=2160 lbs / wp =2100 \frac{ lbs }{10} \frac{ x 12}{1 ft }=(2160 \times 12) lb / ft$$$

a) The natural frequency

$\begin{aligned}&\left(\omega_{n}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{K_{e q}}{m}}\\&=\sqrt{\frac{2160 \times 12}{93.1677}}\\&\omega_{n}=16.68 \text { rad } | s\\&\omega_{n}=\frac{2 \pi}{T}\\&16.68=\frac{2 \pi}{T}\\&T=0.3767 s\end{aligned}$

$Given, $t=10 s , \quad y(t)=6 in = A$\\$y(t)=A \cos \left(\omega_{n} t+\phi\right) \rightarrow 0$\\$6=6 \cos (16.68 \times 10+\phi)$\\$1=\cos (166.8+\phi)$\\$166.8+\phi=0$\\\phi=-166.8\)\\At $t=0, \quad y(0)=6 \cos (16.68 \times 0-166.8)$ {y(0)}=-5.74 in$

A light bulb is switched on and within a few minutes its temperature becomes constant. Is it at equilibrium or steady state.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature attains equilibrium with the surroundings.

Explanation:

When the light bulb is lighted we know that it's temperature will go on increasing as the filament of the bulb has to constantly dissipates energy during the time in which it is on. Now this energy is dissipated as heat as we know it, this heat energy is absorbed by the material of the bulb which is usually made up of glass, increasing it's temperature. Now we know that any object with temperature above absolute zero has to dissipate energy in form of radiations.

Thus we conclude that the bulb absorbs as well as dissipates it's absorbed thermal energy. we know that this rate is dependent on the temperature of the bulb thus it the temperature of the bulb does not change we can infer that an equilibrium has been reached in the above 2 processes i.e the rate of energy absorption equals the rate of energy dissipation.

Steady state is the condition when the condition does not change with time no matter whatever the surrounding conditions are.

List and describe three classifications of burns to the body.

DiKsa [7]

AnswerWhat Are the Classifications of Burns? Burns are classified as first-, second-, or third-degree, depending on how deep and severe they penetrate the skin's surface. First-degree burns affect only the epidermis, or outer layer of skin. The burn site is red, painful, dry, and with no blisters.

Find the time-domain sinusoid for the following phasors:_________

sattari [20]

Answer:

a. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°) units

b. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°) units

c. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°) units

d. r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°) units

Explanation:

To find the time-domain sinusoid for a phasor, given as a + bj, we follow the following steps:

(i) Convert the phasor to polar form. The polar form is written as;

r∠Ф

Where;

r = magnitude of the phasor = $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

Ф = direction = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{b}{a}$ )

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid (r(t)) as follows:

r(t) = r cos (ωt + Φ)

Where;

ω = angular frequency of the sinusoid

Φ = phase angle of the sinusoid

(a) 5 + j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{5^2 + 4^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{4}{5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (0.8)

Φ = 38.66°

5 + j4 = 6.40∠38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°)

(b) 5 - j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{5^2 + (-4)^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{-4}{5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (-0.8)

Φ = -38.66°

5 - j4 = 6.40∠-38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°)

(c) -5 + j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{(-5)^2 + 4^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{4}{-5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (-0.8)

Φ = -38.66°

-5 + j4 = 6.40∠-38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt - 38.66°)

(d) -5 - j4

(i) convert to polar form

r = $\sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-4)^2}$

r = $\sqrt{25 + 16}$

r = $\sqrt{41}$

r = 6.40

Φ = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{-4}{-5}$ )

Φ = tan⁻¹ (0.8)

Φ = 38.66°

-5 - j4 = 6.40∠38.66°

(ii) Use the magnitude (r) and direction (Φ) from the polar form to get the general form of the time-domain sinusoid

r(t) = 6.40 cos (ωt + 38.66°)
