Answer:

The volume percentage of graphite is 10.197 per cent.

Explanation:

The volume percent of graphite is the ratio of the volume occupied by the graphite phase to the volume occupied by the graphite and ferrite phases. The weight percent in the cast iron is 3.2 wt% (graphite) and 96.8 wt% (ferrite). The volume percentage of graphite is:

\%V_{gr} = \frac{V_{gr}}{V_{gr}+V_{fe}} \times 100\,\%

Where:

V_{gr} - Volume occupied by the graphite phase, measured in cubic centimeters.

V_{fe} - Volume occupied by the graphite phase, measured in cubic centimeters.

The expression is expanded by using the definition of density and subsequently simplified:

\%V_{gr} = \frac{\frac{m_{gr}}{\rho_{gr}} }{\frac{m_{gr}}{\rho_{gr}}+\frac{m_{fe}}{\rho_{fe}}}\times 100\,\%

Where:

m_{fe}, m_{gr} - Masses of the ferrite and graphite phases, measured in grams.

\rho_{fe}, \rho_{gr} - Densities of the ferrite and graphite phases, measured in grams per cubic centimeter.

\%V_{gr} = \frac{1}{1+\frac{\frac{m_{fe}}{\rho_{fe}} }{\frac{m_{gr}}{\rho_{gr}} } }\times 100\,\%

\%V_{gr} = \frac{1}{1 + \left(\frac{\rho_{gr}}{\rho_{fe}} \right)\cdot\left(\frac{m_{fe}}{m_{gr}} \right)} \times 100\,\%

If \rho_{gr} = 2.3\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}, \rho_{fe} = 7.9\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}, m_{gr} = 3.2\,g and m_{fe} = 96.8\,g, the volume percentage of graphite is:

\%V_{gr} = \frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{2.3\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}} }{7.9\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}} } \right)\cdot \left(\frac{96.8\,g}{3.2\,g} \right)} \times 100\,\%

\%V_{gr} = 10.197\,\%V

The volume percentage of graphite is 10.197 per cent.

Gas is kept in a 0.1 m diameter cylinder under the weight of a 100 kg piston that is held down by a spring with a stiffness k =
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.

Explanation:

For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of  weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston

Mathematically we can write

Force_{pressure}=Force_{spring}+Weight_{piston}

we know that

Force_{pressure}=Pressure\times Area=300\times 10^{3}\times \frac{\pi \times 0.1^2}{4}=750\pi Newtons

Weight_{piston}=mass\times g=100\times 9.81=981Newtons

Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by Force_{spring}=k\cdot x=5\times 10^{3}\times x

Using the above quatities in the above relation we get

5\times 10^{3}\times x+981=750\pi \\\\\therefore x=\frac{750\pi -981}{5\times 10^{3}}=0.275meters

Outline the structure of an input-output model (including assumptions about supply and demand). What is an inverse matrix? Why i
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

C.1 Input-Output Model

It is a formal model that divides the economy into 2 sectors and traces the flow of inter-industry purchases and sales. This model was developed by Wassily Leontief in 1951. In simpler terms, the inter-industry model is a quantitative economic model that defines how the output of one industry becomes the input of another industrial sector. It is an interdependent economic model where the output of one becomes the input of another. For Eg: The Agriculture sector produces output using the inputs from the manufacturing sector.

The 3 main elements are:

Concentrates on an economy which is in equilibrium

Deals with technical aspects of production

Based on empirical investigations and assumptions

Assumptions

2 sectors - " Inter industry sector" and "final sector"

Output of one industry is the input for another

No 2 goods are produced jointly. i.e each industry produces homogenous goods

Prices, factor suppliers and consumer demands are given

No external economies or diseconomies of production

Constant returns to scale

The combinations of inputs are employed in rigidly fixed proportions.

Structure of IO model

See image 1

Quadrant 1: Flow of products which are both produced and consumed in the process of production

Quadrant 2: Final demand for products of each producing industry.

Quadrant 3: Primary inputs to industries (raw materials)

Quadrant 4: Primary inputs to direct consumption (Eg: electricity)

The model can be used in the analysis of the labor market, forecast economic development of a nation and analyze economic developments of various regions.

Leontief inverse matrix shows the output rises in each sector due to a unit increase in final demand. Inverting the matrix is significant since it is a linear system of equations with unique solutions. Thus, the final demand vector for the required output can be found.

C.2 Linear programming problems

Linear programming problems are optimization problems in which objective function and the constraints are all linear. It is most useful in making the best use of scarce resources during complex decision makings.

Primal LP, Dual LP, and Interpretations

Primal linear programming: They can be viewed as a resource allocation model that seeks to maximize revenue under limited resources. Every linear program has associated with it a related linear program called dual program. The original problem in relation to its dual is termed as a primal problem. The objective function is a linear combination of n variables. There are m constraints that place an upper bound on a linear combination of the n variables The goal is to maximize the value of objective functions that are subject to the constraints. If the primal linear programming has finite optimal value, then the dual has finite optimal value, and the primal and dual have the same optimal value. If the optimal solution to the primal problem makes a constraint into a strict inequality, it implies that the corresponding dual variable must be 0. The revenue-maximizing problem is an example of a primal problem.

Dual Linear Programming: They represent the worth per unit of resource. The objective function is a linear combination of m values that are the limits in the m constraints from the primal problem. There are n dual constraints that place a lower bound on a linear combination of m dual variables. The optimal dual solution implies fair prices for associated resources. Stri=ong duality implies the Company’s maximum revenue from selling furniture = Entrepreneur’s minimum cost of purchasing resources, i.e company makes no profit. Cost minimizing problem is an example of dual problems

n - economic activities

m - resources

cj - revenue per unit of activity j

Tires can be recycled instead of thrown out.<br> True<br> False
Arisa [49]

Answer:

True :)

Explanation:

You can recycle it! Tire recycling is the most practical and environment-friendly way of disposing of old and worn-out tires. Due to their inherent durability, large volume and environment and health risks, tires are one of the most problematic sources of solid wastes.

Hope it helped have a nice day! :)
