You gently place several steel needles on the free surface of the water in a large tank. The needles come in two lengths: some a

re 5 cm long, and some are 10 cm long. Needles of each length are available with diameters of 1 mm, 2.5 mm, and 5 mm.
Make a prediction as to which needles, if any will float.

Assume contact angle theta = 0. (For water, rho=1000kg/m3, sigma=0.0728 N/m, for steel, SG= 0.83).

gladu [14]

Answer:

F(x) = 0           ;  x < 0

         0.064   ;  0 ≤ x < 1

         0.352   ;  1 ≤ x < 2

         0.784   ;  2 ≤ x < 3

            1        ;    x ≥ 3

Explanation:

Each wafer is classified as pass or fail.

The wafers are independent.

Then, we can modelate X : ''Number of wafers that pass the test'' as a Binomial random variable.

X ~ Bi(n,p)

Where n = 3 and p = 0.6 is the success probability

The probatility function is given by :

P(X=x)=f(x)=nCx.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

Where nCx is the combinatorial number

nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Let's calculate f(x) :

f(0)=3C0.(0.6^{0}).(0.4^{3})=0.4^{3}=0.064

f(1)=3C1.(0.6^{1}).(0.4^{2})=0.288

f(2)=3C2.(0.6^{2}).(0.4^{1})=0.432

f(3)=3C3.(0.6^{3}).(0.4^{0})=0.6^{3}=0.216

For the cumulative distribution function that we are looking for :

P(X\leq x)=F(x)

F(0)=f(0)\\F(1)=f(0)+f(1)\\F(2)=f(0)+f(1)+f(2)\\F(3)=f(0)+f(1)+f(2)+f(3)=1

F(0)=0.064\\F(1)=0.064+0.288=0.352\\F(2)=0.064+0.288+0.432=0.784\\F(3)=0.064+0.288+0.432+0.216=1

The cumulative distribution function for X is :

F(x) = 0           ;  x < 0

         0.064   ;  0 ≤ x < 1

         0.352   ;  1 ≤ x < 2

         0.784   ;  2 ≤ x < 3

            1        ;    x ≥ 3

Define centrifugal pump. Give the construction and working of centrifugal pump. ​
fenix001 [56]
Centrifugal pump is a hydraulic machine which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by the use of centrifugal force acting on the fluid. These are the most popular and commonly used type of pumps for the transfer of fluids from low level to high level.

azamat

Answer:

The couples are not all on one axis or plane for that matter but if the A and B connector had to be specified it would go by the yz axis diagonal to the x axis with a magnitude of about 15. The direction of the axis would be pointed up to the second quadrant. Hope this was helpful

Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of PTFE. Also compute the number-average molecular weight for a PTFE for which the degr
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a) the repeat unit molecular weight of PTFE MW = 100.015 g/mole

b) the number-average molecular weight for a PTFE for which the degree of polymerization is 10,000 щₙ = 1000150 g/mole

Explanation:

Given that;

PTFE which is also called Polytetrafluoroethylene

structure  of repeat unit of Polytetrafluoroethylene

(C2F4)n

a)

To compute the repeat unit molecular weight

we say

MW = 2( atomic weight of C ) + 4( atomic weight of F)

MW = 2 (12.0107) + 4 ( 18.9984)

MW = 100.015 g/mole

therefore the repeat unit molecular weight of PTFE MW = 100.015 g/mole

b)

To compute the number-average molecular weight for  PTFE of which the degree of polymerization is 10,000

we say

DP = щₙ / MW

where щₙ is the number of average molecular weight,

MW is the repeat unit molecular weight give as 100.015 g/mole

DP is degree of polymerization which is 10,000

Now we substitute

10,000 = щₙ / 100.015

щₙ = 10,000 × 100.015

щₙ = 1000150 g/mole

Therefore the number-average molecular weight for a PTFE for which the degree of polymerization is 10,000 щₙ = 1000150 g/mole
