Answer:

R = 4.75 lb  (↑)

Explanation:

Number of books = n = 19

Weight of each book = W = 1 lb

Length of the bookshelf = L = 40 inches

We can get the value of the distributed load as follows

q = n*W/L = 19*1 lb/ 40 inches = 0.475 lb/in

then the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of the bookshelf are

R = (q/2)/2 = 4.75 lb

We can see the bookshelf in the pic.

What is the federal E-Rate program?
Annette [7]

Answer:

c. A program that offers discounts to libraries and schools ensuring they have affordable access to modern telecommunications and information services.

Explanation:

Federal E-Rate program refers to the Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund managed by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and being directed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The program offers telecommunications and internet access to schools and libraries in the United States at discounts of between 20% and 90% in order to make the services affordable to them.

The discounts received by each of he beneficiary schools receive which is between the rage of 20% and 90% is determined by the degree of poverty and the urban/rural status of the population or students being served.

In the program, connectivity and maintenance services are provided by the Schools and Libraries Program, while school that applied to the program has to provide other items like software, hardware (e.g. computers), and among other items that will make then to use the connectivity provided.

I wish you the best.

A composite wall is composed of 20 cm of concrete block with k = 0.5 W/m-K and 5 cm of foam insulation with k = 0.03 W/m-K. The
wariber [46]

Answer:

4.8°C

Explanation:

The rate of heat transfer through the wall is given by:

q=\frac{Ak}{L}dT

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k}{L}dT

Assumptions:

1) the system is at equilibrium

2) the heat transfer from foam side to interface and interface to block side is equal. There is no heat retention at any point

3) the external surface of the wall (concrete block side) is large enough that all heat is dissipated and there is no increase in temperature of the air on that side

{k_{fi}= 0.03 W/m.K

{L_{fi}= 5 cm = 0.05 m

{T_{fi}= 25 \°C

{k_{cb} = 0.5 W/m.K

{L_{cb}= 20 cm = 0.20 m

{T_{cb}= 0 \°C

{T_{m}= ? \°C = temperature at the interface

Solving for {T_{m} will give the temperature at the interface:

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k_{fi} }{L_{fi} }(T_{fi} -T_{m})=\frac{k_{cb} }{L_{cb} }(T_{m} -T_{cb})

\frac{0.03}{0.05 }(25 -T_{m})=\frac{0.5}{0.2}(T_{m} -0})

15 -0.6T_{m}=2.5T_{m}

3.1T_{m}=15

T_{m}=4.8

Technician A says that hoods are designed with reinforcements to prevent folding during a collision. Technician B says that some
-BARSIC- [3]

Technician A is wrong.

  • Usually, hoods have what is called "Crush Zones" underneath the panels. The function of the Crush Zone is to prevent the hoods, during a collision, from entering into the passenger space.

  • The crush zones allow the hoods to fold instead.

Technician B is right.

  • Automobile producers now make use of a hybrid form of hood that consists of fiberglass reinforced with plastic.

  • They are mostly used for trucks that have a low volume of production.

  • The hood is built using a process called Resin Transfer Model (RTM).
