3–102 One of the common procedures in fitness programs is to determine the fat-to-muscle ratio of the body. This is based on the

principle that the muscle tissue is denser than the fat tissue, and, thus, the higher the average density of the body, the higher is the fraction of muscle tissue. The average density of the body can be determined by weighing the person in air and also while submerged in water in a tank. Treating all tissues and bones (other than fat) as muscle with an equivalent density of ???? muscle. Obtain a relation for the volume fraction of body fat xfat

Answer:

x_fat = [ 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) -  p_muscle*V ] / V*( p_fat - p_muscle )

Explanation:

Given:

- The total volume of body = V

- The average density of the body = p_avg

- The density of muscle = p_muscle

- The density of fat = p_fat

Find:

Obtain a relation for the volume fraction of body fat x_fat

Solution:

- The volume of the fat is given by:

                          V_fat = x_fat*V

- The volume of the muscle is given by:

                          V_muscle = V - V_fat

                                            = V - x_fat*V

                                            =V*( 1 - x_fat )

- We will use the conservation of mass for the body related as:

                         mass_fat + mass_muscle = Total average mass

                         p_fat*V_fat + p_muscle*V_muscle = p_avg*V

                         p_fat*x_fat*V + p_muscle*V*( 1 - x_fat ) = p_avg*V

                         p_fat*x_fat + p_muscle*( 1 - x_fat ) = p_avg

- To determine p_1 we weigh the body in air:

                         Weight reading (Wsa) = m = p_1*V

                         p_1 = Wsa / V*g

- To determine p_2 we weigh the body in water:

                         Weight reading (Wsw) = m - p_w*V= p_1*V - p_w*V

                         Weight reading (Wsw) = V*(p_1 - p_w) = V*(p_2)

                         Where, p_2 = p_1 - p_water

                         p_2 = Wsw / V

- The average density p_avg:

                         p_avg = 0.5*(p_1 + p_2)  

                         p_avg = 0.5*(Wsa / V + Wsw / V)  

                         p_avg = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V                      

- Plug in the mass equation:

                         p_fat*x_fat + p_muscle*( 1 - x_fat ) = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V

                         x_fat*( p_fat - p_muscle ) = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V - p_muscle

                   x_fat = [ 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) -  p_muscle*V ] / V*( p_fat - p_muscle )

If there are 16 signal combinations (states) and a baud rate (number of signals/second) of 8000/second, how many bps could I sen
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 bits/seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

there are 16  signal combinations (states) = 2⁴

bits  n = 4

and a baud rate (number of signals/second) = 8000/second

Therefore; the number of bits per seconds can be calculated as follows:

Number of bits per seconds = bits  n × number of signal per seconds

Number of bits per seconds =  4 × 8000/second

Number of bits per seconds = 32000 bits/seconds

A vertical pole consisting of a circular tube of outer diameter 127 mm and inner diameter 115 mm is loaded by a linearly varying
Anna [14]

Maximum shear stress in the pole is 0.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Outer diameter = 127 mm

Outer radius,r_{2} = 127/2 = 63.5 mm

Inner diameter = 115 mm

Inner radius, r_{1} = 115/2 = 57.5 mm

Force, q = 0

Maximum shear stress, τmax = ?

 τmax  = \frac{4q}{3\pi } (\frac{r2^2 + r2r1 + r1^2}{r2^4 - r1^4} )

If force, q is 0 then τmax is also equal to 0.

Therefore, maximum shear stress in the pole is 0.
