Answer:

a) \tan \theta = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot R}

Explanation:

a) The Free Body Diagram of the vehicle and reference axis are included in the image attached below. Equations or equilibrium are presented below:

\Sigma F_{x} = N\cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

\Sigma F_{y} = N\cdot \cos \theta - m\cdot g = 0

Tangent of the highway can be found by dividing the first expression by the second one:

\tan \theta = \frac{m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R} }{m\cdot g}

\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot R}

Part b) :

Calculate the angle of banking on the highway

Answer:

a)tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

b) \theta = 10.97^{0}

Explanation:

traffic speed, v = 88 km/ h = 88 * (1000/3600) = 24.44 m/s

Radius of the curve, r = 314 m

a) Write an equation for the tangent of the highway's angle of banking.

The traffic should move both in the vertical and horizontal directions

In the vertical direction, it is moving against gravity, therefore

\sum F_{y} = 0\\Ncos \theta - mg =0\\

Ncos \theta = mg..............(1)

For the horizontal movement,

\sum F_{y} = 0\\Nsin \theta - ma =0\\

Nsin \theta = ma................(2)

To get the tangent equation, divide equation (2) bu equation (1)

\frac{N sin \theta}{N cos \theta} = \frac{ma}{mg}

tan \theta = \frac{a}{g}...........(3)

Centripetal acceleration, a = \frac{v^{2} }{r} \\..........(4)

Substituting (4) into (3)

tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{r} /g\\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

b) Angle of banking on the high way

v = 24.44 /s

r = 314 m

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting those values into the result gotten in part a

tan \theta = \frac{24.44^{2} }{314*9.81}\\tan \theta = 0.194\\\theta = tan^{-1} 0.194\\

\theta = 10.97^{0}

The heat rate is essentially the reciprocal of the thermal efficiency. a)- True b)- False
jeyben [28]

Answer:

a). TRUE

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency of a system is the defined as the ratio of the net work done to the total heat input to the system. It is a dimensionless quantity.

Mathematically, thermal efficiency is

        η =  net work done / heat input

While heat rate is  the reciprocal of efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of heat supplied to the system to the useful work done.

Mathematically, heat rate is

       Heat rate = heat input / net work done

Thus from above we can see that heat rate is the reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Thus, Heat rate is reciprocal of thermal efficiency.

Design a filter that has infinite DC gain, a gain of one from 1Hz to 100 Hz and filters (1storder) any signals above 100 Hz.a) S
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Attached below are the  sketches

answer :

c) G(s) = 100 / ( s + 100 )

d) y'(t)  + 100Y(s) = 100 X(s)

e) g(t) = e^-100t  u(t)

Explanation:

a) Sketch the bode plot

The filter here is a low pass filter

b) Sketch the s-plane

attached below.     pole ( s ) is at 100

c) write the transfer function of the filter

Transfer function ; G(s) = 100 / ( s + 100 )

d) write the differential equation

Y(s) / X(s) = 100 / s + 100

Y(s) [ s + 100 ] = 100 X(s)

= sY(s) + 100Y = 100 X(s)

∴ differential equation = y'(t)  + 100Y(s) = 100 X(s)

e) write out the unforced transient response

g(t) = e^-100t  u(t)

f) write out the frequency response

An ideal fluid flows through a pipe made of two sections with diameters of 1.0 and 3.0 inches, respectively. The speed of the fl
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

(\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2=\frac{1}{9}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter 1 d_1=1.0

Diameter 2 d_2=3.0

Generally the equation for Radius is mathematically given by

At Diameter 1

r_{1}=\frac{1}{2} inch

At Diameter 2

r_{2}=\frac{3}{2} inch

Generally the equation for continuity is mathematically given by

 A_1V_1=A_2V_2

Therefore

(\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2=(\frac{1/2}{3/2})^2

(\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2=\frac{1}{9}
