Answer: 3.125g

Explanation: This is a type of radioactive decay and all the radioactive process follow first order kinetics.

Half life is the time required to decompose half of the reactants. thus after every half life the reactant will decompose to half of its present value.

Now, to calculate the number of half lives, we use the formula:

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = ?

a_o =Let Initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

n = number of half lives

a=\frac{100}{2^5}

a=3.125g

After five half-lives, there will be

           (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2)  =  1/32  =  3.125%

of the original material remaining.

A block of 250-mm length and 48 × 40-mm cross section is to support a centric compressive load P. The material to be used is a b
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

153.6 kN

Explanation:

The elastic constant k of the block is

k = E * A/l

k = 95*10^9 * 0.048*0.04/0.25 = 729.6 MN/m

0.12% of the original length is:

0.0012 * 0.25 m = 0.0003  m

Hooke's law:

F = x * k

Where x is the change in length

F = 0.0003 * 729.6*10^6 = 218.88 kN (maximum force admissible by deformation)

The compressive load will generate a stress of

σ = F / A

F = σ * A

F = 80*10^6 * 0.048 * 0.04 = 153.6 kN

The smallest admisible load is 153.6 kN

Technician A says when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, be sure that the oil cooler is not plugged and the cooler’s f
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

Explanation:

Here Tech A is wrong because when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, it is not necessary to un plugg the oil cooler rather it should be plugged to for proper diagnosis.

Technician B says running the hydraulic system at a lower operating temperature will reduce the possibly of oil oxidation is correct statement because at temperature oil's physical as well as chemical property tend to change.

Hence, Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

The Moon has a mass of 7.35 * 1022 kg, and a radius of 1.737 * 106 m. Based on
suter [353]

Answer:

1.63 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

The equation g = \frac{G*M}{R^2} would be used where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = universal gravitational constant (6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2})

M = mass

R = radius.

assuming the values following both 10s of the mass and radius are their exponents, which is a little confusing, the values given would simply be substituted.

Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.
