Given Information:  

Voltage across zener =  Vz = 5.6 V

Knee current = Izk = 1mA

Supply voltage = V = 15 V

Load current = IL = 15mA

Required Information:  

Resistor = R = ?

Power dissipation of zener = P = ?

Answer:

R = 470 Ω

P = 0.112 Watts

Explanation:

R = supply voltage - zener voltage/Total current

Where Total current = zener current + Load current

zener current = 5*knee current = 5*1 = 5 mA

Total current = 5 mA + 15 mA = 20 mA

R = (15 - 5.6)/0.02

R = 470 Ω

There maximum power will be dissipated in zener when load current is zero so all the current will flow through the zener

Iz = (15 - 5.6)/470

Iz = 0.02 A

P = IzVz

P = 0.02*5.6

P = 0.112 Watts

Therefore, the maximum power dissipation of zener is 0.112 Watts.

The Torricelli's theorem states that the (velocity—pressure-density) of liquid flowing out of an orifice is proportional to the
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The correct answer is 'velocity'of liquid flowing out of an orifice is proportional to the square root of the 'height'  of liquid above the center of the orifice.

Explanation:

Torricelli's theorem states that

v_{exit}=\sqrt{2gh}

where

v_{exit} is the velocity with which the fluid leaves orifice

h is the head under which the flow occurs.

Thus we can compare the given options to arrive at the correct answer

Velocity is proportional to square root of head under which the flow occurs.

The 150-lb man sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 3 lb&gt;ft. Determine t
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

M = 281.25 lb*ft

Explanation:

Given

W<em>man</em> = 150 lb

Weight per linear foot of the boat: q = 3 lb/ft

L = 15.00 m

M<em>max</em> = ?

Initially, we have to calculate the Buoyant Force per linear foot (due to the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat):

∑ Fy = 0  (+↑)     ⇒    q'*L - W - q*L = 0

⇒       q' = (W + q*L) / L

⇒       q' = (150 lb + 3 lb/ft*15 ft) / 15 ft

⇒       q' = 13 lb/ft   (+↑)

The free body diagram of the boat is shown in the pic.

Then, we apply the following equation

q(x) = (13 - 3) = 10   (+↑)

V(x) = ∫q(x) dx = ∫10 dx = 10x   (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

M(x) = ∫10x dx = 5x²  (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

The maximum internal bending moment occurs when x = 7.5 ft

then

M(7.5) = 5(7.5)² = 281.25 lb*ft

8. Two 40 ft long wires made of differing materials are supported from the ceiling of a testing laboratory. Wire (1) is made of
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Material K has a modulus of elasticity E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material H has a modulus of elasticity E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

Material K has higher value of modulus of elasticity than material H

Material K is stiffer.

Explanation:

Wire 1 material H

Length=L = 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter= 3/8 in = 0.009525 m

Area= A= πr²,where r=0.009525/2 =0.004763

A=3.142*0.004763² =0.00007126 m²

Force, F= 225 lb=  225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.10 in = 0.00254

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E=1001.25*12.192/(0.004763*0.00254)

E= 1009027923.58 Pa

E=1.009 × 10⁹ Pa

For Wire 2 material K

Length=L= 40 ft =12.192 m

Diameter = 3/16 in = 0.1875 in = 0.004763 m

Area= πr² = 3.142 * (0.004763/2)² = 0.00000567154 m²

Force, F= 225 lb=  225*4.45 =1001.25 N

Change in length =Δ L= 0.25 in =0.00635 m

To find modulus of elasticity apply'

E=F*L/A*ΔL

E= (1001.25*12.192)/(0.00000567154 * 0.00635 )

E=338955422575 Pa

E=3.389× 10¹¹ Pa

Material  K has a greater modulus of elasticity

The material with higher value of E is stiffer than that with low value of E.The stiffer material is K.

Let m be an integer in the set {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9}, and consider the following problem: determine m by asking 3-way questions
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Take any algorithm if that algorithm solves this problem it can be represented as a ternary decision tree. Therefore each question has at most three answers.

There are ten possible verdicts, the height of such kind of tree should satisfy

ℎ >= ⌈log3(10)⌉ = 3

Hence no such algorithm can ask less than three questions in the worst case.

---

b)

Each and every internal node represents a question asking whether m belongs to one of three possible subset of {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} or not

For example 0123|456|789 represented the questionDoes “m: belongs to {0, 1, 2, 3}, to {4, 5, 6}, or to {7, 8, 9}?"

Verdicts are placed in brackets "[ ]"

Explanation:

decision tree is attached below
