Answer:

48 = C' + 80 tanФ

Explanation:

Recommendations to my coworker

a) Note that there are two unknowns, C' & Ф in the equation, so minimum of two test readings are required to have correct equation of the failure envelope.

Given reading of coworker

σn = 80 kPa

τf = 48 kPa

∴ 48 = C' + 80 tanФ

What is the definition of a duty cycle?
ira [324]

Answer:

D=\frac{PW}{T}*100

Explanation:

In electrical terms, is the ratio of time in which a load or circuit is ON compared to the time in which the load or circuit is OFF.

The duty cycle or power cycle, is expressed as a percentage of the activation time. For example, a 70% duty cycle is a signal that 70% of the time is activated and the other 30% disabled. Its equation can be expressed as:

D=\frac{PW}{T}*100

Where:

D=Duty\hspace{3}Cycle

PW=Pulse\hspace{3}Active\hspace{3}Time

T=Period\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}Signal

Here is a picture that will help you understand these concepts.
