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 )

Brazing, Soldering and Adhesive Bonding are the types of • Liquid Solid System Welding Solid State Welding • Fusion Welding . No
olga_2 [115]

Answer: Solid state welding

Explanation: Solid state welding is the welding procedure which is based on the temperatures and pressure but without any liquid or vapor as aid for welding.This process is carried mainly cohesive forces and considering forces as less important. Brazing,soldering and adhesive is the process in which material are joint which the help of solid welding agent.Thus solid state welding is the correct option.

If a vacuum gau ge reads 9.62 psi, it means that: a. the very highest column of mercury it could support would be 19.58 inches.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:All of the above

Explanation:

9.62 psi means 497.49 mm of Hg pressure

for (a)19.58 inches is equals to 497.49 mm of Hg

(b)atmospheric pressure is 14.69 psi

vaccum gauge is 9.62psi

absolute pressure is=14.69-9.62=5.07

(c)vaccum means air is sucked and there is negative pressure so it tells about below atmospheric pressure.

thus all are correct
