A civil engineer is studying a left-turn lane that is long enough to hold seven cars. Let X be the number of cars in the line at

the end of a randomly chosen red light. The engineer believes that the probability that X = x is proportional to (x + 1)(8 − x) for x = 0, . . . , 7 (the possible values of X), i.e. P(X = x) = ( C(x + 1)(8 − x) for x = 0, 1, . . . , 7 0 otherwise 1. Determine the value of C. 2. Find the probability that X will be at least 5.

Y = a (b)^t/p

y is total money

a is original amount

b is growth / decay factor

t is time

p is the frequency of every growth or decay

Technician A says that a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the starter ground circuit is within specifications. Technician B says tha
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Technician A is wrong

Technician B is right

Explanation:

voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the starter ground circuit is not within specifications. Voltage drop should be within the range of 0.2 V to 0.6 V but not more than that.

A spun bearing can seize itself around the crankshaft journal causing it not to move. As the car ignition system is turned on, the stater may draw high current in order to counter this seizure.

What are Tresca and Von Mises yield criteria?
elena-s [515]

Answer

For isotropic material plastic yielding depends upon magnitude of the principle stress not on the direction.

Tresca and Von Mises yield criteria are the yield model which is widely used.

The Tresca yield criterion stated that yielding will occur in a material only when the greatest maximum shear stress reaches a critical value.

max{|σ₁ - σ₂|,|σ₂ - σ₃|,|σ₃ - σ₁|} = σ_f

under plane stress condition

  |σ₁ - σ₂| = σ_f

The Von mises yielding criteria stated that the yielding will occur when elastic energy of distortion reaches critical value.

σ₁² - σ₁ σ₂ + σ₂² =  σ²_f

Air (cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·°C) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. A
uysha [10]

Answer:

Q=67.95 W

T=119.83°C

Explanation:

Given that

For air

Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·°C

T= 20°C

V=0.6 m³/s

P= 95 KPa

We know that for air

P V = m' R T

95 x 0.6 = m x 0.287 x 293

m=0.677 kg/s

For gas

Cp = 1.10 kJ/kg·°C

m'=0.95 kg/s

Ti=160°C   ,To= 95°C

Heat loose by gas = Heat gain by air

[m Cp ΔT] for air =[m Cp ΔT] for gas

by putting the values

0.677 x 1.005 ( T - 20)= 0.95 x 1.1 x ( 160 -95 )

T=119.83°C

T is the exit temperature of the air.

Heat transfer

Q=[m Cp ΔT] for gas

Q=0.95 x 1.1 x ( 160 -95 )

Q=67.95 W
