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.

while performing a running compression test how should running compression compare to static compression

algol [13]

Answer:

The idle speed of a running compression should be between 50-75 PSI and that is about half of the static compression.

Explanation:

The Running or Dynamic compression is used to determine how well the cylinder in an engine is absorbing air, reserving it for the proper length of time, and releasing it to the exhaust. The static or cranking compression test is used to check the sealing of the cylinder. Before performing the running compression test, the static compression test is first performed to rule out other issues like bent valves.

The standard value for the static compression is given by;

Compression ratio * 14.7 = Manufacturers Specification

The running compression should always be half of the static compression.

A piston-cylinder device contains an ideal gas mixture of 3 kmol of He gas and 7 kmol of Ar gas (both gases are monatomic) at 27

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Q = 62 ( since we are instructed not to include the units in the answer)

Explanation:

Given that:

$n_{HCl} = 3 \ kmol\\n_{Ar} = 7 \ k mol$

$T_1 = 27^0 \ C = ( 27+273)K = 300 K$

$P_1 = 200 \ kPa$

Q = ???

Now the gas expands at constant pressure until its volume doubles

i.e if $V_1 = x\\V_2 = 2V_1$

Using Charles Law; since pressure is constant

$V \alpha T$

$\frac{V_2}{V_1} =\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

$\frac{2V_1}{V_1} =\frac{T_2}{300}$

$T_2 = 300*2\\T_2 = 600$

mass of He =number of moles of He × molecular weight of He

mass of He = 3 kg × 4

mass of He = 12 kg

mass of Ar =number of moles of Ar × molecular weight of Ar

mass of He = 7 kg × 40

mass of He = 280 kg

Now; the amount of Heat Q transferred = $m_{He}Cp_{He} \delta T + m_{Ar}Cp_{Ar} \delta T$

From gas table

$Cp_{He} = 5.9 \ kJ/Kg/K\\Cp_{Ar} = 0.5203 \ kJ/Kg/K$

∴ Q = $12*5.19*10^3(600-300)+280*0.5203*10^3(600-300)$

Q = $62.389 *10^6$

Q = 62 MJ

Q = 62 ( since we are instructed not to include the units in the answer)

vazorg [7]

Answer:

He wore his black suit, another color of shirt (not purple) and shoes

Explanation:

Holmes owns two suits: one black and one tweed.

Whenever he wears his tweed suit and a purple shirt, he chooses not to wear a tie and whenever he wears sandals, he always wears a purple shirt.

So, if he wore a bow tie yesterday, it means he wore his black suit, another color of shirt (not purple) and shoes because the shirt color is not purple
