Answer:

<u>Total Mass of Conductors = 19913661.3 kg</u>

Explanation:

The total length is given as:

Total Length = 845 mi

Converting it to ft:

Total length = (845 mi)(5280 ft/1 mi)

Total length = 4,461,600 ft

The weight of one conductor per unit length is:

Mass of one conductor per unit length = 2460 lb/1000 ft

Mass of one conductor per unit length = 2.46 lb/ft

Since there are 4 conductors, therefore, total weight of all conductors per unit length will be:

Mass of all four conductors per unit length = 4 x 2.46 lb/ft

Mass of all four conductors per unit length = (9.84 lb/ft)(0.453592 kg/1 lb)

Mass of all four conductors per unit length = 4.463 kg/ft

Therefore, total mass of conductors in the line will be:

Total Mass of Conductors = (Mass of all four conductors per unit length)(Total Length)

Total Mass of Conductors = (4.463 kg/ft)(4,461,600 ft)

<u>Total Mass of Conductors = 19913661.3 kg</u>

Answer:

The following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In point a, Calculating the are of flow:

$\bold{Area =B \times D_f}$

$=6\times 5\\\\=30 \ ft^2$

In point b, Calculating the wetter perimeter.

$\bold{P_w =B+2\times D_f}$

$= 6 +2\times (5)\\\\= 6 +10 \\\\=16 \ ft$

In point c, Calculating the hydraulic radius:

$\bold{R=\frac{A}{P_w}}$

$=\frac{30}{16}\\\\= 1.875 \ ft$

In point d, Calculating the value of Reynolds's number.

$\bold{Re =\frac{4VR}{v}}$

$=\frac{4V \times 1.875}{1 \times 10^{-5} \frac{ft^2}{s}}\\\\$

$=750,000 V$

Calculating the velocity:

$V= \sqrt{\frac{8gRS}{f}}$

$= \sqrt{\frac{8\times 32.2 \times 1.875 \times 0.02}{f}}\\\\=\frac{3.108}{\sqrt{f}}\\\\$

$\sqrt{f}=\frac{3.108}{V}\\\\$

calculating the Cole-brook-White value:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{f}}= -2 \log (\frac{K}{12 R} +\frac{2.51}{R_e \sqrt{f}})\\\\ \frac{1}{\frac{3.108}{V}}= -2 \log (\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{12 \times 1.875} +\frac{2.51}{750,000V\sqrt{f}})\\$

$\frac{V}{3.108} =-2\log(8.88 \times 10^{-5} + \frac{3.346 \times 10^{-6}}{750,000(3.108)})$

After calculating the value of V it will give:

$V= 25.18 \ \frac{ft}{s^2}\\$

In point a, Calculating the value of Froude:

$F= \frac{V}{\sqrt{gD}}$

$= \frac{V}{\sqrt{g\frac{A}{\text{Width flow}}}}\\$

$= \frac{25.18}{\sqrt{32.2\frac{30}{6}}}\\\\= \frac{25.18}{\sqrt{32.2 \times 5}}\\\\= \frac{25.18}{\sqrt{161}}\\\\= \frac{25.18}{12.68}\\\\= 1.98$

The flow is supercritical because the amount of Froude is greater than 1.

Calculating the channel flow rate.

$Q= AV$

$=30x 25.18\\\\= 755.4 \ \frac{ft^3}{s}\\$

500 flights land each day at San Jose’s airport. Assume that each flight has a 5% chance of being late, independently of whether

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

a.0.0199

b.0.1765

c.0.0785

d.0.1268

e.Yes

Explanation:

It is given that X follows a Binomial distribution with (n= 500, p = 0.05)

The probabilities are computed using the EXCEL .

a) The required probability here is:

P(X less of equal to 15)

= binom.dist(15,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.0199

Therefore the probability is 0.0199 .

b) The required probability here is:

P(X greater or equal to 30) = 1 - P(X less or equal to 29)

=1 - binom.dist(29,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.1765

Therefore the probability is 0.1765

c) P(X = 26 )

= binom.dist(26,500,0.05,FALSE)

=0.0785

Therefore the probability is 0.0785

d) The required probability here is computed as:

P(10 less or equal to X less or equal to 20 ) = P(X less or equal to 19) - P(X less or equal to 10)

= binom.dist(19,500,0.05,TRUE) - binom.dist(10,500,0.05,TRUE)

=0.1268

Therefore the probability 0.1268

e) Yes . Therefore the probability because that is the assumption used to apply binomial distribution .

The 30-kg gear is subjected to a force of P=(20t)N where t is in seconds. Determine the angular velocity of the gear at t=4s sta

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

$H_o =r x mv=rxL$

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

$\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1$

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is $I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2$ ".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

$v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)$

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

$H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af$

$0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)$

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

$1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega$

And if we solve for $\omega$ we got:

$\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}$

Burn rate can be affected by: A. Variations in chamber pressure B. Variations in initial grain temperature C. Gas flow velocity

Digiron [165]

Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Burn rate can be affected by all of the above reasons as, variation in chamber pressure because the pressure are dependence on the burn rate and temperature variation in initial gain can affect the rate of the chemical reactions and initial gain in the temperature increased the burning rate. As, gas flow velocity also influenced to increasing the burn rate as it flowing parallel to the surface burning. Burn rate is also known as erosive burning because of the variation in flow velocity and chamber pressure.
