Answer:

(a) 5.3

(b) 6

Explanation:

First we calculate time required for excavator to fill 1 truck:

Time to Fill 1 Truck = (No. of Cycles To Fill)(Cycle Time)

Time to Fill 1 Truck = (3)(33 sec)

Time to Fill 1 Truck = 99 sec

Now, we find the time taken by a truck to come back to excavator, after dumping:

Time of Return = Hauling Time + Time to Dump + Time to Come Back

Time of Return = 5 min + 45 sec + 3 min

Time of Return = 300 sec + 45 sec + 180 sec

Time of Return = 525 sec

(a)

In order to balance the output of excavator with number of trucks, following condition must be satisfied:

Time of Return = (No. of Trucks)(Time to Fill 1 Truck)

525 sec = (No. of Trucks)(99 sec)

No. of Trucks = 525 sec/99 sec

No. of Trucks = 5.3

(b)

If we round up the number of trucks, we get:

No. of Trucks = 6

(c)

If we round down the number of trucks, we get:

No. of Trucks = 5

Gas chromatography separates compounds depending on their__________ . Benzene, m-xylene, and toluene have similar_________ , the

amm1812

Answer and Explanation:

Gas chromatography separates compounds depending on their **polarity and volatility**. Benzene, m-xylene, and toluene have similar **polarities**, therefore, the main basis for separation is **volatility**. The more volatile a component the ** higher its vapor pressure**, hence the more time it spends in the **gaseous mobile phase**, giving it a **shorter** retention time. Therefore, components of a liquid mixture will elute in order of **increasing boiling points/decreasing volatilities/increasing polarities with the stationary phase**.

Ti-6Al-4V has a fracture toughness of 74.6 MPa-m0.5. How much stress (in MPa) would it take to fail a plate loaded in tension th

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

critical stress = 595 MPa

Explanation:

given data

fracture toughness = 74.6 MPa- $\sqrt{m}$

crack length = 10 mm

f = 1

solution

we know crack length = 10 mm

and crack length = 2a as given in figure attach

so 2a = 10

a = 5 mm

and now we get here with the help of plane strain condition , critical stress is express as

critical stress = $\frac{k}{f\sqrt{\pi a}}$ ......................1

put here value and we get

critical stress = $\frac{74.6}{1\sqrt{\pi 5\times 10^{-3}}}$

critical stress = 595 MPa

so here stress is change by plane strain condition because when plate become thinner than condition change by plane strain to plain stress.

plain stress condition occur in thin body where stress through thickness not vary by the thinner section.

How is the energy harnessed and converted into useful energy?

garri49 [273]

Answer:

1. How energy is harnessed?

Another way to tap solar energy is by collecting the sun's heat. Solar thermal power plants use heat from the sun to create steam, which can then be used to make electricity. On a smaller scale, solar panels that harness thermal energy can be used for heating water in homes, other buildings, and swimming pools.

2. How is solar energy converted into useful energy?

Solar panels convert the sun's light into usable solar energy using N-type and P-type semiconductor material. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity.
