Answer: 100% (double)

Explanation:

The question tells us two important things:

Mass remains constant
Volume remains constant

(We can think in a gas enclosed in a closed bottle, which is heated, for instance)

In this case we know that, as always the gas can be considered as ideal, we can apply the general equation for ideal gases, as follows:

State 1 (P1, V1, n1, T1) ⇒ P1*V1 = n1*R*T1
State 2 (P2, V2, n2, T2) ⇒ P2*V2 = n2*R*T2

But we know that V1=V2 and that n1=n2, som dividing both sides, we get:

P1/P2 = T1/T2, i.e, if T2=2 T1, in order to keep both sides equal, we need that P2= 2 P1.

This result is just reasonable, because as temperature measures the kinetic energy of the gas molecules, if temperature increases, the kinetic energy will also increase, and consequently, the frequency of collisions of the molecules (which is the pressure) will also increase in the same proportion.

Brazing, Soldering and Adhesive Bonding are the types of • Liquid Solid System Welding Solid State Welding • Fusion Welding . No

olga_2 [115]

Answer: Solid state welding

Explanation: Solid state welding is the welding procedure which is based on the temperatures and pressure but without any liquid or vapor as aid for welding.This process is carried mainly cohesive forces and considering forces as less important. Brazing,soldering and adhesive is the process in which material are joint which the help of solid welding agent.Thus solid state welding is the correct option.

Create a separate function file fieldtovar.m that receives a single structure as an input and assigns each of the field values t

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Explanation gives the answer

Explanation:

% Using MATLAB,

% Matlab file : fieldtovar.m

function varargout = fieldtovar(S)

% function that accepts single structure as input, assigning each

% of the field values to user-defined variables

fields = fieldnames(S); % get the field names of the input structure

% check if number of user-defined variables and number of fields in

% structure are equal

if nargout == length(fields)

% if equal assign each value of structure to user-defined varable

for i=1:nargout

varargout{i} = getfield(S,fields{i});

end

else

% if not equal display an error message

error('The number of output variables does not equal the number of fields');

end

%This brings an end to the program

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

Consider a multiprocessor system and a multithreaded program written using the many-to-many threading model. Let the number of u

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

At the point when the quantity of bit strings is not exactly the quantity of processors, at that point a portion of the processors would stay inert since the scheduler maps just part strings to processors and not client level strings to processors. At the point when the quantity of part strings is actually equivalent to the quantity of processors, at that point it is conceivable that the entirety of the processors may be used all the while. Be that as it may, when a part string obstructs inside the portion (because of a page flaw or while summoning framework calls), the comparing processor would stay inert. When there are more portion strings than processors, a blocked piece string could be swapped out for another bit string that is prepared to execute, in this way expanding the use of the multiprocessor system.When the quantity of part strings is not exactly the quantity of processors, at that point a portion of the processors would stay inert since the scheduler maps just bit strings to processors and not client level strings to processors. At the point when the quantity of bit strings is actually equivalent to the quantity of processors, at that point it is conceivable that the entirety of the processors may be used at the same time. Be that as it may, when a part string hinders inside the piece (because of a page flaw or while summoning framework calls), the relating processor would stay inert.
