Answer:

49.484 m³ / s

Explanation:

Volume flow rate = Power in W / (efficiency × density × height × acceleration due to gravity)

Volume flow rate = 100 × 10⁶ / ( 1 × 1000 kg/m³ × 206 m × 9.81 m/s²)

V = 49.484 m³ / s

Answer:

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Explanation:

For a case of 100% efficiency, the power produced must be equal to the rate of potential energy conversion

GIVEN THAT

Power = 100 MW

rate of Potential energy = (m')*g*h

100*10^6 = (m')*9.81*206

m' = 4948.38 kg/s

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The of the lander would be 75.66 pounds

Explanation:

From the question we are given that the

Weight of the Philae on Earth  is = 220 pound-mass

gravity of Mars is = 3.71 m/s^{2}

Weight of the Philae on Mars is = ?

Now Mass is quantity of matter in an object so it is always constant for a particular object

Generally Weight = Mass × Gravity :

                      \frac{Weight Of Earth}{Gravity Of Earth} = \frac{Weight Of Mars}{Gravity Of Mars}

Hence  

         Weight of the Philae on Mars is = \frac{Weight Of Earth *Gravity Of Mars}{Gravity Of Earth}

                                                              =\frac{200 *3.71}{9.81}

                                                              = 75.66 pounds

A fatigue test is performed on 69 rotating specimens made of 5160H steel. The measured number of cycles to failure (L in kcycles
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(a) Mean = 122.9, σ = 30.071

(b) No. of failed specimens at less than 115k cycles are 27.

(c) μ = 39.07

Explanation:

We are given:

L  60  70  80  90  100  110  120  130  140  150  160  170  180  190  200  210

f    2     1    3     5     8     12     6     10     8     5     2      3      2      1       0      1

(a) First we need to calculate the mean and standard deviation. The formula for calculating mean is:

Mean = ∑fx/∑f

And for standard deviation we have:

S.D. = √Var

Var = ∑fx²/∑f - (Mean)²

∑fx = (2*60) + (1*70) + (3*80) + (5*90) + (8*100) + (12*110) + (6*120) + (10*130) + (8*140) + (5*150) + (2*160) + (3*170) + (2*180) + (1*190) + (0*200) + (1*210)

         = 120 + 70 + 240 + 450 + 800 + 1320 + 720 + 1300 + 1120 + 750 + 320 + 510 + 360 + 190 + 0 + 210

∑fx = 8480

Mean = ∑fx/∑f

          = 8480/69

Mean = 122.9  

∑fx² = (2*60²) + (1*70²) + (3*80²) + (5*90²) + (8*100²) + (12*110²) + (6*120²) + (10*130²) + (8*140²) + (5*150²) + (2*160²) + (3*170²) + (2*180²) + (1*190²) + (0*200²) + (1*210²)

   =7200+4900+19200+40500+80000+145200+86400+169000+156800+112500+51200+86700+64800+36100+0+44100

∑fx² = 1104600

Var = ∑fx²/∑f - (Mean)²

     = 1104600/69 - (122.9)²

     = 16008.69565 - 15104.41

Var = 904.2856

S.D = √Var

σ = √904.2856

σ = 30.071

(b) Let X be the number of failed specimen.

We will use the z-score to calculate the probability. The formula for z-score is:

z = (X-μ)/σ

P(X<115) = P(z<(115-122.9)/30.071)

              = P(z<-0.26)

Using the normal distribution probability table, we can compute the value of  P(z<-0.26).

P(X<115) = 0.3974

So, no. of failed specimens at less than 115k cycles are: 0.3974*69 = 27 specimens

(c) σ = 30.071

P(x<115) = 0.99

P(z<(115-μ)/30.071) = 0.99

From the normal distribution table we find that 0.99 lies between the z values 2.52 and 2.33. Hence, we get 2.525 as the z-value at which the probability is 0.99.

z = (x-μ)/σ

2.525 = (115 - μ)/30.071

75.93 = 115 - μ

μ = 115 - 75.93

μ = 39.07
