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.

An 8 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 1872 N

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using one of the Kinematics equations and Newton's second law of motion:

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2} + 2ad (1)

F=ma (2)

Where:

V=611.9 m/s is the bullet's final speed (when it leaves the muzzle)

V_{o}=0 is the bullet's initial speed (at rest)

a is the bullet's acceleration

d=0.8 m is the distance traveled by the bullet before leaving the muzzle

F is the force

m=8 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.008 kg is the mass of the bullet

Knowing this, let's begin by isolating a from (1):

a=\frac{V^{2}}{2d} (3)

a=\frac{(611.9 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.8 m)} (4)

a=234013.5063 m/s^{2} \approx 2.34(10)^{5} m/s^{2} (5)

Substituting (5) in (2):

F=(0.008 kg)(2.34(10)^{5} m/s^{2}) (6)

Finally:

F=1872 N
