Answer:

add resistance to a circuit

Explanation:

It depends on the design in which it is incorporated. A fixed resistor has many uses, including, but not limited to ...

dropping voltage
limiting current
contributing to a time delay
adjusting frequency response
eliminating (or creating) signal reflections
acting as a fuse
calibrating or trimming a response
providing protection against electrical shock or ESD
acting as a reference when measuring variable resistors

If you think a hazard is serious, what is the best way to ensure that OSHA will

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The best way to ensure that OSHA will conduct a site inspection is by the submission a signed (by a current employee or employee representative) Formal Written complaints following OSHA guidelines (which can be found in the Council of Safety and Health (COSH) website) which will enable the commencement of process for an on site inspection

As such it is advisable to go through the following procedure before, filing a complaint

1) Talk to your workers union about the hazard

2) If you do not belong to a union, talk to your co-workers

3) Inform your employer who has responsibility for on the job safety

4) Speak or have a meeting with OSHA so as to receive guidance before filing a complaint

A 1-ft rod with a diameter of 0.5 in. is subjected to a tensile force of 1,300 lb and has an elongation of 0.009 in. The modulus

iragen [17]

Answer:

E = 8.83 kips

Explanation:

First, we determine the stress on the rod:

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}\\\\$

where,

σ = stress = ?

F = Force Applied = 1300 lb

A = Cross-sectional Area of rod = 0.5 $\pi \frac{d^2}{4} = \pi \frac{(0.5\ in)^2}{4} = 0.1963\ in^2$

Therefore,

$\sigma = \frac{1300\ lb}{0.1963\ in^2} \\\\\sigma = 6.62\ kips$

Now, we determine the strain:

$strain = \epsilon = \frac{elongation}{original\ length} \\\\\epsilon = \frac{0.009\ in}{12\ in}\\\\\epsilon = 7.5\ x\ 10^{-4}$

Now, the modulus of elasticity (E) is given as:

$E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}\\\\E = \frac{6.62\ kips}{7.5\ x\ 10^{-4}}$

Air flows through a device such that the stagnation pressure is 0.4 MPa, the stagnation temperature is 400°C, and the velocity i

RoseWind [281]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to temperature stagnation and adiabatic pressure in a system.

The stagnation temperature can be defined as

$T_0 = T+\frac{V^2}{2c_p}$

Where

T = Static temperature

V = Velocity of Fluid

$c_p =$ Specific Heat

Re-arrange to find the static temperature we have that

$T = T_0 - \frac{V^2}{2c_p}$

$T = 673.15-(\frac{528}{2*1.005})(\frac{1}{1000})$

$T = 672.88K$

Now the pressure of helium by using the Adiabatic pressure temperature is

$P = P_0 (\frac{T}{T_0})^{k/(k-1)}$

Where,

$P_0$ = Stagnation pressure of the fluid

k = Specific heat ratio

Replacing we have that

$P = 0.4 (\frac{672.88}{673.15})^{1.4/(1.4-1)}$

$P = 0.399Mpa$

Therefore the static temperature of air at given conditions is 72.88K and the static pressure is 0.399Mpa

<em>Note: I took the exactly temperature of 400 ° C the equivalent of 673.15K. The approach given in the 600K statement could be inaccurate.</em>
