Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': Load is far from fulcrum and the effort is applied near the fulcrum

Explanation:

A lever works on the principle of balancing of torques. The torque about the fulcrum by the load should be equal to the torque by the applied effort. Since we know that the torque is proportional to both the force and the distance it is applied from the distance from the axis of rotation. A lever is used when we need to lift a heavy load by utilizing this effect of the lever arm.

A mechanical disadvantage occurs when we are not able to lift the weight easily due to the fact we apply effort near the fulcrum.

Find E[x] when x is sum of two fair dice?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

When two fair dice are rolled, 6×6=36 observations are obtained.

P(X=2)=P(1,1)=

P(X=3)=P(1,2)+P(2,1)=

P(X=4)=P(1,3)+P(2,2)+P(3,1)=

P(X=5)=P(1,4)+P(2,3)+P(3,2)+P(4,1)=

P(X=6)=P(1,5)+P(2,4)+P(3,3)+P(4,2)+P(5,1)=

P(X=7)=P(1,6)+P(2,5)+P(3,4)+P(4,3)+P(5,2)+P(6,1)=

P(X=8)=P(2,6)+P(3,5)+P(4,4)+P(5,3)+P(6,2)=

P(X=9)=P(3,6)+P(4,5)+P(5,4)+P(6,3)=

P(X=10)=P(4,6)+P(5,5)+P(6,4)=

P(X=11)=P(5,6)+P(6,5)=

P(X=12)=P(6,6)=

Therefore, the required probability distribution is as follows.

Then, E(X)=∑X

Tech A says that 18 AWG wire is larger than 12 AWG wire. Tech B says that the larger the diameter of the conductor, the more ele

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Both of them are wrong

Explanation:

The two technicians have given the wrong information about the wires.

This is because firstly, a higher rating of AWG means it is smaller in diameter. Thus, the diameter of a 18 AWG wire is smaller than that of a 12 AWG wire and that makes the assertion of the technician wrong.

Also, the higher the resistance, the smaller the cross sectional area meaning the smaller the diameter. A wire with bigger cross sectional area will have a smaller resistance

So this practically makes the second technician wrong too

What is the difference between a discrete and continuous system?

Serjik [45]

Answer:Discrete system are those system which change the state at the discrete point of time and continuous system are those which have state change at continuous period of time.

Explanation:

The major difference between discrete and continuous system is that, discrete system has state change over a discontinuous time period whereas the change of state in continuous system is over a continuous time period .
Variations can be found in the discrete system signal but in continuous system variation cannot be found input and output signal.
Example:-

Discrete system:-employees reporting at office at different time like

9:10am, 9:15am etc

<u> Continuous system</u>:-the water flow over a dam in particular quantity
