Answer:

5 feet + 11 inches

Explanation:

given data

tall = 5.89 feet =

1 feet = 12 inches

solution

we will convert given 5.89 feet as

5.89 feet = 5 feet + 0.89 feet .............1

so now we need convert 0.89 feet into inch

so we know

$\frac{1}{12} =\frac{0.89}{a}$

solve we get a

a = 0.89 × 12

a = 10.68 inches

so from equation 1

5.89 feet = 5 feet + 10.68 inches

5.89 feet = 5 feet + 11 inches

I think it is fair to say 5 and 3/4 inches.

The formation of faults in Earth's crust is an effect. What causes faults to form in the crust? Global Positioning System sensor

allsm [11]

Answer: The movement of tectonic plates

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are the part of the earth's crust that both the ocean and land rest on. These plates are constantly moving as a result of currents in the mantle.

These movements cause stress on the surface which has the effect of fracturing rocks and thereby creating/ forming faults in the earth's crust. Sometimes faults form when these plates move away from each other and sometimes they are formed when they push into each other.

You have been assigned to design an open cylindrical storage tank 4 meters tall with a diameter of 8 meters to be made out of A-

Katen [24]

Answer:

The required wall thickness is $1.506 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Explanation:

Given:

Fluid density $\rho = 1200$ $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

Diameter of tank $d = 8$ m

Length of tank $l = 4$ m

F.S = 4

For A-36 steel yield stress $\sigma = 250$ MPa,

Allowable stress $\sigma _{allow} = \frac{\sigma}{F.S}$

$\sigma _{allow} = \frac{250}{4} = 62.5$ MPa

Pressure force is given by,

$P = \rho gh$

$P = 1200 \times 9.8 \times 4$

$P = 47088$ Pa

Now for a vertical pipe,

$\sigma _{allow} = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

Where $t =$ required thickness

$t = \frac{Pd}{4 \sigma _{allow} }$

$t = \frac{47088 \times 8 }{4 \times 62.5 \times 10^{6} }$

$t = 1.506 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Therefore, the required wall thickness is $1.506 \times 10^{-3}$ m

HELP<br><br><br>the overall width of a part is dimensioned as 3.00 ± 0.02. what is the tolerance

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Not knowing the units the tolerance is 0.02. I would presume mm but hopefully your question has more detail.

Explanation:

The tolerance is the portion after the main dimension (+/- 0.02). In our case we have bilateral tolerance since there is tolerance in both directions (positive and negative). If you were building a part the acceptable range would be 2.98 to 3.02 based on the tolerance provided.

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life are;

1) The needles of a sewing machine

2) Electric powered reciprocating saw blade

3) The motion of a manual tire pump

Explanation:

A reciprocating motion is a motion that consists of motion of a part in an upward and downwards $(\updownarrow)$ or in a backward and forward (↔) direction repetitively

Examples of reciprocating motion in daily life includes the reciprocating motion of the needles of a sewing machine and the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating saw and the motion of a manual tire pump

In a sewing machine, a crank shaft in between a wheel and the needle transforms the rotary motion of the wheel into reciprocating motion of the needle.

A four-cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engine has a bore of 3.7 in. and a stroke of 3.4 in. The clearance volume is 16

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The net work per cycle is 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in horsepower ≈ 45374 hP

Explanation:

1) The three possible assumptions are

a) All processes are reversible internally

b) Air, which is the working fluid circulates continuously in a closed loop

cycle

c) The process of combustion is depicted as a heat addition process

2) The diagrams are attached

5) The dimension of the cylinder bore diameter = 3.7 in. = 0.09398 m

Stroke length = 3.4 in. = 0.08636 m.

The volume of the cylinder v₁= 0.08636 ×(0.09398²)/4 = 5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume = 16% of cylinder volume = 0.16×5.99×10⁻⁴ m³

The clearance volume, v₂ = 9.59 × 10⁻⁵ m³

p₁ = 14.5 lbf/in.² = 99973.981 Pa

T₁ = 60 F = 288.706 K

$\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} \right )^{K-1}$

Otto cycle T-S diagram

T₂ = 288.706* $6.25^{0.393}$ = 592.984 K

The maximum temperature = T₃ = 5200 R = 2888.89 K

$\dfrac{T_{3}}{T_{4}} = \left (\dfrac{v_{4}}{v_{3}} \right )^{K-1}$

T₄ = 2888.89 / $6.25^{0.393}$ = 1406.5 K

Work done, W = $c_v$ ×(T₃ - T₂) - $c_v$ ×(T₄ - T₁)

0.718×(2888.89 - 592.984) - 0.718×(1406.5 - 288.706) = 845.88 kJ/kg

The power developed in an Otto cycle = W×Cycle per second

= 845.88 × 2400 / 60 = 33,835.377 kW = 45373.99 ≈ 45374 hP.
