zaharov [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is False.

Explanation:

When it comes to occupational safety,<em> it is very important for ladders to be inspected by a qualified person before each use.</em> This is because ladders undergo conditions that impact their integrity while being in use. The inspection is also essential in order for the ladder to be timely replaced.

<u><em>Ladder accidents or ladder-related injuries happen every year.</em></u> Around 700 occupational deaths due to elevated fall from a ladder accounts for 15% of all occupational deaths. Misuse or damage ladders are often the reasons for this.

Thus, the answer in the above statement is False because ladders are required to be inspected for visible defects prior to the first use of each work shift and after any occurrence that could affect their safety.

A heat pump cycle is used to maintain the interior of a building at 15°C. At steady state, the heat pump receives energy by heat
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a) Ql=33120000 kJ

b) COP = 5.6

c) COPreversible= 29.3

Explanation:

a) of the attached figure we have:

HP is heat pump, W is the work supplied, Th is the higher temperature, Tl is the low temperature, Ql is heat supplied and Qh is the heat rejected. The worj is:

W=Qh-Ql

Ql=Qh-W

where W=2000 kWh

Qh=120000 kJ/h

Q_{l}=14days(\frac{24 h}{1 day})(\frac{120000 kJ}{1 h})-2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h})=33120000 kJ

b) The coefficient of performance is:

COP=\frac{Q_{h} }{W}=\frac{120000 kJ/h*14(\frac{24 h}{1 day}) }{2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h}) } = 5.6

c) The coefficient of performance of a reversible heat pump is:

COP_{reversible}=\frac{T_{h} }{T_{h}-T_{l}  }

Th=20+273=293 K

Tl=10+273=283K

Replacing:

COP_{reversible}=\frac{293}{293-283}=29.3

Vector A extends from the origin to a point having polar coordinates (7, 70ᵒ ) and vector B extends from the origin to a point h
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

13.95

Explanation:

Given :

Vector A polar coordinates = ( 7, 70° )

Vector B polar coordinates = ( 4, 130° )

To find A . B we  will

A ( r , ∅ ) = ( 7, 70 )

A = rcos∅ + rsin∅

therefore ; A  = 2.394i + 6.57j

B ( r , ∅ ) = ( 4, 130° )

B = rcos∅ + rsin∅

therefore ;  B = -2.57i + 3.06j

Hence ; A .B

( 2.394 i + 6.57j ) . ( -2.57 + 3.06j ) = 13.95

A steel bar 100 mm (4.0 in.) long and having a square cross section 20 mm (0.8 in.) on an edge is pulled intension with a load o
grigory [225]

Answer:

The elastic modulus of the steel is 139062.5 N/in^2

Explanation:

Elastic modulus = stress ÷ strain

Load = 89,000 N

Area of square cross section of the steel bar = (0.8 in)^2 = 0.64 in^2

Stress = load/area = 89,000/0.64 = 139.0625 N/in^2

Length of steel bar = 4 in

Extension = 4×10^-3 in

Strain = extension/length = 4×10^-3/4 = 1×10^-3

Elastic modulus = 139.0625 N/in^2 ÷ 1×10^-3 = 139062.5 N/in^2

Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.12 m3
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Water enters a centrifugal pump axially at atmospheric pressure at a rate of 0.12 m3/s and at a velocity of 7 m/s, and leaves in the normal direction along the pump casing, as shown in Fig. PI3-39. Determine the force acting on the shaft (which is also the force acting on the bearing of the shaft) in the axial direction.

Step-by-step solution:

Step 1 of 5

Given data:-

The velocity of water is .

The water flow rate is.
