Answer:

$5.184

Explanation:

The cost can be calculated using the formula: Cost = Load \ factor \times Number \ of \ hours \ \\M_{month} = M_{units} \times W\\

Before using this, we require the following conversions:

<em>320 W → kW:</em>

\frac {320}{1000} = 0.32

<em>30 Days → Hours:</em>

30 \times 24 = 720

Using the above stated formula:

M_{month} = 0.09 \times 0.32 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 720 = 5.184

which of the following processes would be appropriate for cutting a narrow slot, less than 0.015 inch wide, in a 3/8- inch thick
Elena-2011 [213]

Laser beam machining and water jet cutting are the following processes would be appropriate for cutting a narrow slot, less than 0.015 inch wide, in a 3/8- inch thick sheet of fiber-reinforced plastic. Hence option d and f is correct.

<h3>What is fiber reinforced plastic?</h3>

Fiber reinforced plastic is defined as a polymer-based composite material that is strengthened by fiber support. Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) are composite materials that use glass or carbon fibers as reinforcement and polymer resins as a matrix.

Because laser cutting is a far less aggressive and abrasive process than water jet cutting, it is much more accurate. A laser can carefully and safely cut materials as thin as 0.006 inches, whereas water jet cutters can't handle cutting through surfaces smaller than 0.02 inches.

Thus, laser beam machining and water jet cutting are the following processes would be appropriate for cutting a narrow slot, less than 0.015 inch wide, in a 3/8- inch thick sheet of fiber-reinforced plastic. Hence option d and f is correct.

A cylindrical specimen of a titanium alloy having an elastic modulus of 107 GPa (15.5 × 106 psi) and an original diameter of 3.7
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

the maximum length of specimen before deformation is found to be 235.6 mm

Explanation:

First, we need to find the stress on the cylinder.

Stress = σ = P/A

where,

P = Load = 2000 N

A = Cross-sectional area = πd²/4 = π(0.0037 m)²/4

A = 1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 2000 N/1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 186 MPa

Now, we find the strain (∈):

Elastic Modulus = Stress / Strain

E = σ / ∈

∈ = σ / E

∈ = 186 x 10^6 Pa/107 x 10^9 Pa

∈ = 1.74 x 10^-3 mm/mm

Now, we find the original length.

∈ = Elongation/Original Length

Original Length = Elongation/∈

Original Length = 0.41 mm/1.74 x 10^-3

<u>Original Length = 235.6 mm</u>

There are three options for heating a particular house: a. Gas: $1.33/therm where 1 therm=105,500 kJ b. Electric Resistance: $0.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Explanation:

Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.

Given:

Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:

Method (a)

Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.

Method (b)

Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.

Method (c)

Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.

Calculation:

Step1

Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

C_{1}=\frac{\$ 1.33}{therm}\times(\frac{1therm}{105500kj})

C_{1}=1.2606\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step2

Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

C_{2}=\frac{\$ 0.12}{kWh}\times(\frac{1 kWh }{3600kj})

C_{2}=3.334\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step3

Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

C_{3}=\frac{\$ 2.30}{gallon}\times(\frac{1 gallon }{138500kj})

C_{3}=1.66\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.

So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.
