Explain the concept of degrees of freedom in terms of physics and mechanics.

Engineering
1 answer:
Sophie [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Step1

Degree of freedom is the number of independent variable which is required to define motion of the system. Degree of freedom is the number of possible motion of the system. Motion can be sliding or rotate. So, there are maximum 6 possible motions of the system, 3 of rotation and 3 of translation. There are 6 maximum possible degrees of freedoms.

Step2

Take an example of slider that is allowed to slide only. So, the slider will have one degree of freedom. Take an example of cylinder which can rotate as well as slide. So, it will have 2 degree of freedom.

Answer:

1.Economists divide the factors of production into four categories: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. The first factor of production is land, but this includes any natural resource used to produce goods and services.

2.Management skills can be defined as certain attributes or abilities that an executive should possess in order to fulfill specific tasks in an organization. They include the capacity to perform executive duties in an organization. ... and practical experience as a manager.                                                                              3.No corrective action is required when the deviations are within acceptable limits. However, when the deviations go beyond the acceptable range, in the important areas, it demands immediate managerial attention so that deviations do not occur again and standards are accomplished.

A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

COP of heat pump=3.013

COP of cycle=1.124

Explanation

W = Q2 - Q1 ----- equation 1

W = work done

Q2 = final energy

Q1 = initial energy

A) calculate the COP of the heat pump

COP =Q2/W

from equation 1

Q2 = Q1 + W = 15 + 7.45 = 22.45 KW

therefore COP =22.45/7.45  = 3.013

B) COP when cycle is reversed

COP = Q1/W

from equation 1

Q1 + W = Q2 ------ equation 2

Q2 = 15 Btu/s = 15 * 1.055 = 15.825 KW therefore from equation 2

Q1 = 8.375 KW

COP =8.375/7.45   = 1.124

What is the difference between filler and electrode in Welding? Can a filler be an electrode? Can an electrode be a filler? Why?
Vlada [557]

Explanation:

<u>Filler:</u>

  Filler is the material rod is used when we are joining two material by using welding process.If thickness of work piece is more so it will become compulsory to provide some filler material for making the welding join to withstand high stresses.

<u>Electrode:</u>

  Electrode is the element which is used to complete the electric circuit in welding .Some time electrode is connected with positive terminal and some time with negative terminal ,it depends on the requirement of welding process.In Tungsten inert gas welding electrode is connected negative terminal but on the other hand Metal inert gas welding electrode is connected with positive terminal.Electrode can be consumable non-consumable depends on the condition.

Yes electrode can be work as filler material ,in Metal inert gas welding wire is used as electrode as well as filler material.In Metal inert gas welding consumable electrode is used on the other hand Tungsten inert gas welding non-consumable electrode is used.In Tungsten inert gas welding if thickness of work pieces is less than 5 mm then no need to used any filler material but if thickness is more than 5 mm then we have to use filler material.
