Answer:

They must be enclosed in explosion proof housing or general-purpose housing (as per NEC Regulations)

Explanation:

It is important to know what are Class I, Division 1 and 2 locations.

Class I: includes those industries or places where flammable gases exists and there are chances of explosions.

Division 1: Those places where hazard can happen under normal operating conditions

Division 2: Those places where hazard can happen under abnormal conditions.

The conventional relays, contactors and switches cause arcing when they operate and this is a completely normal phenomenon but with respect to these categories, it is very dangerous to operate such electrical devices without any precaution.

Therefore industries are required by the regulatory authorities to install  explosion proof housing to enclose conventional relays, contactors and switches to avoid any explosion or hazard. General-purpose housing can also be used given that it follows the regulations provided by the NEC or any other regulatory authority.

What is the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet of a 0.1 cm diameter? Assume that air is surrounding this droplet a
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the honey droplet, D = 0.1 cm

radius of the honey droplet, R = 0.05 cm = 0.0005 m

surface tension of honey, γ = 0.052 N/m

Apply Laplace's law for a spherical membrane with two surfaces

Gauge pressure =  P₁ - P₀ = 2 (2γ / r)

Where;

P₀ is the atmospheric pressure

Gauge pressure = 4γ / r

Gauge pressure = 4 (0.052) / (0.0005)

Gauge pressure = 416 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa

Answer:

Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as

v_f = 46.8 m/s

Total time for which it will remain in air is given as

t = 6.3 s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed

v_i = 15 m/s

g = - 9.81 m/s^2

now when it will reach the ground then we have

y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

so we have

-100 = 15 t - \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) t^2

4.905 t^2 - 15 t - 100 = 0

so we have

t = 6.3 s

Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = -15 + (9.81)(6.3)

v_f = 46.8 m/s
