​For the "determine data needs" activity of a project, the optimistic estimated duration is 10 days, the pessimistic estimated d

Answer:

This is a PERT  (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) question and the expected duration of completing this activity can be solved using the formula below.

 Pert Expected Duration Estimate = ║Optimistic Duration + (4 x Most Likely Duration) + Pessimistic Duration║/6.

15 days = Most likely Activity Duration.

10 days = Optimistic Activity Duration

20 days = Pessimistic Activity Duration

Substituting these values, we will have

(10 +(4 X 15) +20)/6. The pert estimate is therefore calculated as 15 days

The expected duration of completing this activity = 15 days.

A section of a parallel-plate air waveguide with a plate separation of 7.11 mm is constructed to be used at 15 GHz as an evanesc
adell [148]

Answer:

the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

f_{c_1 = c / 2a

where f is frequency, c is the speed of light in air and a is the plate separation distance.

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s

plate separation distance a = 7.11 mm = 0.0711 cm

so we substitute

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ / 2( 0.0711  )

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s / 0.1422  cm

f_{c_1 =  21.1 GHz which is larger than 15 GHz { TEM mode is only propagated along the wavelength }

Now, we determine the minimum wavelength required

Each non propagating mode is attenuated by at least 100 dB at 15 GHz

so

Attenuation constant TE₁ and TM₁ expression is;

∝₁ = 2πf/c × √( (f_{c_1 / f)² - 1 )

so we substitute

∝₁ = ((2π × 15)/3 × 10⁸ m/s) × √( (21.1 / 15)² - 1 )

∝₁ = 3.1079 × 10⁻⁷

∝₁ = 310.79 np/m

Now, To find the minimum wavelength, lets consider the design constraint;

20log₁₀e^{-\alpha _1l_{min = -100dB

we substitute

20log₁₀e^{-(310.7np/m)l_{min = -100dB

l_{min = 3.71 cm

Therefore, the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

. If a pendulum-driven clock gains 5.00 s/day, what fractional change in pendulum length must be made for it to keep perfect tim
inn [45]

Answer:

The appropriate response will be "Length must be increased by 0.012%".

Explanation:

The given values is:

ΔT = 5 s/day

Now,

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T} =\frac{5}{24\times 60\times 60}

On multiplying both sides by  "100", we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100 =\frac{500}{24\times 60\times 60}

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100=0.005787 (%)

∵  T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}% = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{\Delta l}{l}%

On applying cross multiplication, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta l}{l}% = 2\times \frac{\Delta T}{T}%

⇒        = 2\times 0.05787

⇒        = 0.011574

⇒        = 0.012%

This is a two part question: What is the force of friction acting on a 100 kg steel slab at rest on a steel floor?
Crazy boy [7]
1) 0N... friction opposes the motion of an object, since the block is at rest there is no motion thus no friction

2) F=ma
= (5.5kg)(30m/s)
