Answer: No, the mining process isn't faster when you know in advance that the land must be restored.

Explanation:

The mining process would be slower when mining companies know in advance that the land must be restored because they have to be more careful about their impact on the environment & avoid taking unnecessary damage to ruin the land which they know they must restore.

So, it's evident how this would slow down the mining process. If there were no obligations to restore land, the mining companies would just come at the mining space and run their mining process fast without big concerns for the consequences.

But the caution definitely slows them down.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

1790 μrad.

Explanation:

Young's modulus, E is given as 10000 ksi,

μ is given as 0.33,

Inside diameter, d = 54 in,

Thickness, t = 1 in,

Pressure, p = 794 psi = 0.794 ksi

To determine shear strain, longitudinal strain and circumferential strain will be evaluated,

Longitudinal strain, eL = (pd/4tE)(1 - 2μ)

eL = (0.794 x 54)(1 - 0.66)/(4 x 1 x 10000)

eL = 3.64 x 10-⁴ radians

Circumferential strain , eH = (pd/4tE)(2-μ)

eH = (0.794 x 54)(2 - 0.33)/(4 x 1 x 10000)

eH = 1.79 x 10-³ radians

The maximum shear strain is 1790 μrad.

1. A team of students have designed a battery-powered cooler, which promises to keep beverages at a high-drinkability temperatur

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Minimum electrical power required = 3.784 Watts

Minimum battery size needed = 3.03 Amp-hr

Explanation:

Temperature of the beverages, $T_L = 36^0 F = 275.372 K$

Outside temperature, $T_H = 100^0F = 310.928 K$

rate of insulation, $Q = 100 Btu/h$

To get the minimum electrical power required, use the relation below:

$\frac{T_L}{T_H - T_L} = \frac{Q}{W} \\W = \frac{Q(T_H - T_L)}{T_L}\\W = \frac{100(310.928 - 275.372)}{275.372}\\W = 12.91 Btu/h\\1 Btu/h = 0.293071 W\\W = 12.91 * 0.293071\\W_{min} = 3.784 Watt$
