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 )

For a given set of input values, a NAND gate produces the opposite output as an OR gate with inverted inputs.A. True

Verdich [7]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

For a given set of input values, A NAND gate produces exactly the same values as an OR gate with inverted inputs.

The truth table for a NAND gate with 2 inputs is as follows:

0 0 1

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 0

The truth table for an OR gate, is as follows:

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 1

If we add two extra columns for inverted inputs, the truth table will be this one:

0 0 1 1 1

0 1 1 0 1

1 0 0 1 1

1 1 0 0 0

which is the same as for the NAND gate, not the opposite, so the statement is false.

This means that the right choice is B.

A cylindrical specimen of a hypothetical metal alloy is stressed in compression. If its original and final diameters are 30.00 a

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The original length of the specimen $l_{o} = 104.7 mm$

Explanation:

Original diameter $d_{o}$ = 30 mm

Final diameter $d_{1}$ = 30.04 mm

Change in diameter Δd = 0.04 mm

Final length $l_{1}$ = 105.20 mm

Elastic modulus E = 65.5 G pa = 65.5 × $10^{3}$ M pa

Shear modulus G = 25.4 G pa = 25.4 × $10^{3}$ M pa

We know that the relation between the shear modulus & elastic modulus is given by

$G = \frac{E}{2(1 + \mu)}$

$25.5 = \frac{65.5}{2 (1 + \mu)}$

$\mu = 0.28$

This is the value of possion's ratio.

We know that the possion's ratio is given by

$\mu = \frac{\frac{0.04}{30} }{\frac{change \ in \ length}{l_{o} } }$

${\frac{change \ in \ length}{l_{o} } = \frac{\frac{0.04}{30} }{0.28}$

${\frac{change \ in \ length}{l_{o} } =$ 0.00476

$\frac{l_{1} - l_{o} }{l_{o} } = 0.00476$

$\frac{l_{1} }{l_{o} } = 1.00476$

Final length $l_{o}$ = 105.2 m

Original length

$l_{o} = \frac{105.2}{1.00476}$

$l_{o} = 104.7 mm$

This is the original length of the specimen.

A cylindrical specimen of a titanium alloy having an elastic modulus of 107 GPa (15.5 × 106 psi) and an original diameter of 3.7

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

the maximum length of specimen before deformation is found to be 235.6 mm

Explanation:

First, we need to find the stress on the cylinder.

Stress = σ = P/A

where,

P = Load = 2000 N

A = Cross-sectional area = πd²/4 = π(0.0037 m)²/4

A = 1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 2000 N/1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 186 MPa

Now, we find the strain (∈):

Elastic Modulus = Stress / Strain

E = σ / ∈

∈ = σ / E

∈ = 186 x 10^6 Pa/107 x 10^9 Pa

∈ = 1.74 x 10^-3 mm/mm

Now, we find the original length.

∈ = Elongation/Original Length

Original Length = Elongation/∈

Original Length = 0.41 mm/1.74 x 10^-3

<u>Original Length = 235.6 mm</u>

Write a Python program that does the following. Create a string that is a long series of words separated by spaces. The string i

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The code is attached.

Explanation:

I created a string s including 6 colors with spaces in between. Then I converted the string into a list x by using split() method. I used three different methods for removing elements from the list. These methods are remove(), pop() and del.

$\\$ Then I used methods append(), insert() and extend() for adding elements to the list.

$\\$ Finally I converted list into a string using join() and adding space in between the elements of the list.
