A coal fired power plant geneartes 2.4 lbs. of CO2 per kWh. A lighting system consumes 300,000kWh per year. A corporation is con

cerned with its carbon footprint and accepts a value of $25 per ton to account for societal costs.
What is their perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by this lighting system?

Answer:

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by lighting sstem is $8164.67.

Explanation:

The CO2 requirement for the plant is:

Amount of CO2 per year = (2.4 lb / KWh)(300,000 KWh)

Amount of CO2 per year = (720000 lb)(1 ton/ 2204.62 lb)

Amount of CO2 per year = 326.59 ton

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year will then be:

Economic Impact = ($25 / ton)(326.59 ton)

<u>Economic Impact = $8164.67</u>

Answer:

sum2 = 0

counter = 0

lst = [65, 78, 21, 33]

while counter < len(lst):

   sum2 = sum2 + lst[counter]

   counter += 1

Explanation:

The counter variable is initialized to control the while loop and access the numbers in <em>lst</em>

While there are numbers in the <em>lst</em>,  loop through <em>lst</em>

Add the numbers in <em>lst</em> to the sum2

Increment <em>counter</em> by 1 after each iteration

Why do we care about a material's ability to resist torsional deformation?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(A) Because the angle of twist of a material is often used to predict its shear toughness

Explanation:

In engineering, torsion is the solicitation that occurs when a moment is applied on the longitudinal axis of a construction element or mechanical prism, such as axes or, in general, elements where one dimension predominates over the other two, although it is possible to find it in diverse situations.

The torsion is characterized geometrically because any curve parallel to the axis of the piece is no longer contained in the plane initially formed by the two curves. Instead, a curve parallel to the axis is twisted around it.

The general study of torsion is complicated because under that type of solicitation the cross section of a piece in general is characterized by two phenomena:

1- Tangential tensions appear parallel to the cross section.

2- When the previous tensions are not properly distributed, which always happens unless the section has circular symmetry, sectional warps appear that make the deformed cross sections not flat.

Answer:

<em>Python code is as follows: </em>

********************************************************************************

#function to get number up to any number of decimal places

def toFixed(value, digits):

return "%.*f" % (digits, value)

print("Enter the price: ", end='', flush=True) #prompt for the input of price

price = float(input()) #taken input

totalCost = price + 0.05 * price #calculating cost

print("Total Cost after the sales tax of 5% is applied: " + toFixed(totalCost,2)) #print and output totalCost
