Answer:

The total resistance is 7.0588\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached please find the circuit diagram. The circuit is composed by a voltage source and two resistors connected in parallel: R_1=10\Omega and R_2=24\Omega.

First step: find the total current

For finding the current that the voltage source can provide, you must find the current consumed by each load and then add both. To do that, take first into account that the voltage is the same for both resistors (R_1 and R_2).

  • I_{R_1}=\frac{V_S}{R_1}
  • I_{R_2}=\frac{V_S}{R_2}

The total current is:

I_{TOTAL}=I_{R_1}+I_{R_2}=\frac{V_S}{R_1}+\frac{V_S}{R_2}=\frac{R_2\cdot V_S+R_1\cdot V_S}{R_1\cdot R_2}

I_{TOTAL}=V_S\cdot \frac{R_1+R_2}{R_1\cdot R_2}

Now, the total resistance (R_{TOTAL}) would be the voltage divided by the total current:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{V_S}{I_{TOTAL}}

If you replace I_{TOTAL} by the expression obtained previously, the total resistance would be:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{V_S}{V_S\cdot \frac{R_1+R_2}{R_1\cdot R_2}}

After simplifying the terms you should get:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{R_1\cdot R_2}{R_1 + R_2}}

Now, you must replace the values of the resistors:

R_{TOTAL}=\frac{(10\Omega )\cdot (24\Omega)}{10\Omega + 24\Omega}}=\frac{120}{17}\Omega=7.0588\Omega

Thus, the total resistance is 7.0588\Omega

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall. If it reduces to a width of 3 in then how tall will it be?
Anarel [89]

Given

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall.

If it reduces to a width of 3 in

Find out the  how tall will it be .

To proof

As given in the question

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall.

reduces to a width of 3 in

now as shown in the table given below

This table shows that the  width of a frame is directly proportional to the height (tall) of the frame.

let us assume that the height of the frame after reduces width to 3in be = x

than the equation becomes  

\frac{original\ width}{original\ height} = \frac{reduces\ width }{reduces\ height}

put the all the value

we get

\frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{x}

solve the  above

x = \frac{6\times3}{9}

x = 2in

therefore 2in tall will be the frame .

Hence proved

Find a parametric representation for the surface. the part of the plane z = x + 3 that lies inside the cylinder x2 + y2 = 9. (en
Evgesh-ka [11]
The cylinder is a clue to use cylindrical coordinates. Taking x=3\cos\theta and y=3\sin\theta, we then are forced to use z=3\cos\theta+3. So the parameterization of the intersection of the plane and cylinder is

\mathbf s(\theta)=(3\cos\theta,3\sin\theta,3\cos\theta+3)

To get the surface, we can introduce a second parameter r that "contracts" the elliptical intersection to a point. The simplest way to do this is to use

\mathbf s(r,\theta)=(3r\cos\theta,3r\sin\theta,3r\cos\theta+3)

with 0\le r\le1 and 0\le\theta\le2\pi.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

2 6/11 = 28/11

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = 11 and there is 2 so that will make 22 and there is also the 6 so then add the 6 to it and you will have 28/11
