Answer:

Prevent electrical shock

Grounding is a non current carrying conductor mainly used to guard against hazards due to leakage in electric circuits

Explanation:

The grounding refers to the connection of an electrical equipment exposed metallic parts to the ground to serve as a source of current flow in the event of an insulation failure will cause the fuses to trip thereby isolating or removing electric power from the device

Grounding also prevents the accumulation of static electricity which can be a source of fire in inflammable areas.

A flywheel performs each of these functions except: A. Contains a gear used for engine starting B. Smoothes engine operation C.

torisob [31]

Answer:

C. Provides lubrication to parts

Explanation:

Flywheel :

Flywheel is a device which stored the mechanical energy.This energy can be use when more energy required during any operation.Due to high moment of inertia of the flywheel it resist the change in the speed .The flywheel is attached to the crank shaft at the rear side of the engine.

The flywheel perform following function:

1. It connects the crankshaft and the transmission system.

2.It makes the engine operation smooth.

3.It contains gear and other parts of the engine.

But it can not provide lubrication.

What is an isentropic process?

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Isentropic process is the process in fluids which have a constant entropy.

Explanation: The isentropic process is considered as the ideal thermodynamical process and has both adiabatic as well as reversible processes in internal form.This process supports no transfer of heat and no transformation of matter .The entropy of the provided mass also remains unchanged or consistent.These processes are usually carried out on material on the efficient device.

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 78 MPa (70.98 ksi). If the plate is

Reika [66]

Answer:

minimum length of a surface crack is 15.043 mm

Explanation:

given data

strain fracture toughness K = 78 MPa

tensile stress = 345 MPa

Y = 1.04

to find out

minimum length of a surface crack

solution

we find here length of critical interior flaw from formula that is

α = $\frac{1}{\pi} (\frac{K}{\sigma Y})^2$ ....................1

put here value we get

α = $\frac{1}{\pi} (\frac{78*\sqrt{10^3} }{345*1.04})^2$

α = 15.043 mm

so minimum length of a surface crack is 15.043 mm

Conduct online research and write a short report on the origin and evolution of the meter as a measurement standard. Discuss how

valina [46]

Answer:

People have come up with all sorts of inventive ways of measuring length. The most intuitive are right at our fingertips. That is, they are based upon the human body: the foot, the hand, the fingers or the length of an arm or a stride.

In ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, one of the first standard measures of length used was the cubit. In Egypt, the royal cubit, which was used to build the most important structures, was based on the length of the pharaoh’s arm from elbow to the end of the middle finger plus the span of his hand. Because of its great importance, the royal cubit was standardized using rods made from granite. These granite cubits were further subdivided into shorter lengths reminiscent of centimeters and millimeters.

Later length measurements used by the Romans (who had taken them from the Greeks, who had taken them from the Babylonians and Egyptians) and passed on into Europe generally were based on the length of the human foot or walking and multiples and subdivisions of that. For example, the pace—one left step plus one right step—is approximately a meter or yard. (On the other hand, the yard did not derive from a pace but from, among other things, the length of King Henry I of England’s outstretched arm.) Mille passus in Latin, or 1,000 paces, is where the English word “mile” comes from.

And thus, the meter has and likely will remain so elegantly defined in these terms for the foreseeable future.
