Answer:

The efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

Explanation:

Given,

The work done by the person pushing the furniture up the ramp is, W₁ = 1240 J

The work done by the ramp is, W₀ = 822 J

The efficiency of the ramp is given by the formula,

= ( 822 / 12400 ) x 100%

= 6.63 %

Hence, the efficiency of the ramp is, Eff = 6.63 %

For heat transfer purposes, an egg can be considered to be a 5.5-cm-diameter sphere having the properties of water. An egg that

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 40007 sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the egg is $d_e = 5.5cm = \frac{5.5}{100} = 5.5*10^{-2}m$

The initial temperature of egg the $T_e = 4.3^{o}C$

The temperature of the boiling water $T_b = 100^oC$

The heat transfer coefficient is $H = 800 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The final temperature is $T_e_f = 74^oC$

The thermal conductivity of water is $k = 0.607 W/m^oC$

The diffusivity of the egg $\alpha = 0.146 * 10^{-6} m^2 /s$

Using one term approximation

We have the

$\frac{T_e_f - T_b}{T_e - T_b} = Ae^{-\lambda ^2 \tau}$

The radius is $r = \frac{5.5*10^ {-2}}{2} =2.75*10^{-2}m$ Note that this radius is approximation to that of a real egg

Now we need to obtain the Biot number which help indicate the value of $A \ and \ \lambda$ to use in the above equation

The Biot number is mathematically represented as

$Bi = \frac{H r}{k}$

Substituting values

$Bi = \frac{800 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.607}$

$= 36.24$

So for this value which greater than 0.1 the coefficient $\lambda_1 \ and \ A_1$ is

$\lambda = 3.06632$

$A = 1.9942$

Substituting this into equation 1 we have

$\frac{74- 100}{4.3 - 100} = 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}$

$0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-9.383 \tau}$

$0.13624 = e^{-9.383 \tau}$

Taking natural log of both sides

$-1.993 = -9.383\ \tau$

$\tau = 0.2124$

The time required for the egg to be cooked is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\tau r^2}{\alpha }$

substituting value is

$= \frac{0.2124 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.146 *10^{-6}}$

$t = 40007 sec$

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A lateral eruptions or lateral blast is a volcanic eruption which is directed laterally from a volcano rather than upwards from the summit. Lateral eruptions are caused by the outward expansion of flanks due to rising magma. Breaking occurs at the flanks of volcanoes making it easier for magma to flow outward.
