6.1.115 To approximate the speed of the current of a​ river, a circular paddle wheel with radius 4 ft. is lowered into the water

. If the current causes the wheel to rotate at a speed of 18 revolutions per​ minute, what is the speed of the​ current?

Answer:

1.2 ft/s or 72 ft/min

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the relationship between the angular and linear speed for this particular movement (rotation). As the speed of the current is tangent to the trajectory of the wheel we can define as follows:

v=  \omega r=18  \frac{rev}{min} \times \frac{1min}{60s}\times 4 ft\\v= 1.2 \frac{ft}{s}= 72 \frac{ft}{min}

The speed of the current is 72 ft/min

A square piece of tin has 12 inches on a side. An open box is formed by cutting out equal square pieces at the corners and bendi
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a square Piece whose side is 12 inches

Now square pieces are cut from each corner to make it a open box

Suppose x is the length of square piece at each corner

then

base square has a length of 12-2x

Dimension of new box is (12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x

Volume V=(12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x

V=\left ( 12-2x\right )^2\cdot x

For maximum volume differentiate with respect to x we get

\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} x}=2\times \left ( 12-2x\right )\times \left ( -2\right )\cdot x+\left ( 12-2x\right )^2=0

we get x=6 and 4 but at x=6 volume becomes zero therefore x=4 is valid

V=\left ( 12-2\cdot 4\right )^2\cdot 4

V=4^3

V=64\ in.^3

The vector product of vectors A⃗ and B⃗ has magnitude 12.0 m2 and is in the +z-direction.Vector A⃗ has magnitude 4.0 m and is in
g100num [7]

Answer:

θ=180°

Explanation:

The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.

Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:

  • If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.

  • If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.

Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).

Describe the agronomic significance of the upper and lower plastic limits, and of the plasticity index?​
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:It shows the size of the range of the moisture contents at which the soil remains plastic. In general, the plasticity index depends only on the amount of clay present. It indicates the fineness of the soil and its capacity to change shape without altering its volume.

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
hjlf

Answer:

B. 22,22,23,23,22,22,23

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability of a data set. In order to determine the data set that has the smallest standard deviation, we shall investigate on the ranges of the data sets given. The range of a data set is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. A data set that has a smaller range also has a smaller standard deviation.

From the alternatives given, the data set given by alternative B has the smallest range and consequently the smallest standard deviation.

The maximum value is 23 while the minimum is 22. The range is 1.
