Answer:

8.85 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is resistivity of the material,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross sectional area.

For a round wire, A = πr² = ¼πd².

For aluminum, ρ is 2.65×10⁻⁸ Ωm, or 8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft.

Given L = 500 ft and d = 0.03 in = 0.0025 ft:

R = (8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft) (500 ft) / (¼π (0.0025 ft)²)

R = 8.85 Ω

Answer:

The heat transfer is 29.75 kJ

Explanation:

The process is a polytropic expansion process

General polytropic expansion process is given by PV^n = constant

Comparing PV^n = constant with PV^1.2 = constant

n = 1.2

(V2/V1)^n = P1/P2

(V2/0.02)^1.2 = 8/2

V2/0.02 = 4^(1/1.2)

V2 = 0.02 × 3.2 = 0.064 m^3

W = (P2V2 - P1V1)/1-n

P1 = 8 bar = 8×100 = 800 kPa

P2 = 2 bar = 2×100 = 200 kPa

V1 = 0.02 m^3

V2 = 0.064 m^3

1 - n = 1 - 1.2 = -0.2

W = (200×0.064 - 800×0.02)/-0.2 = -3.2/-0.2 = 16 kJ

∆U = 55 kJ/kg × 0.25 kg = 13.75 kJ

Heat transfer (Q) = ∆U + W = 13.75 + 16 = 29.75 kJ

Go to explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

Angle of friction (friction angle) is a measure of the ability of a unit of rock or soil to withstand a shear stress. It is the angle (φ), measured between the normal force (N) and resultant force (R), that is attained when failure just occurs in response to a shearing stress (S).

The cohesion intercept is a used when we want to describe the shear strength soils. The definition is mainly derived from the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and it is used to describe the non-frictional part of the shear resistance which is independent of the normal stress.
