The Hoover Dam (see the Video) backs up the Colorado River and creates Lake Meade, which is approximately 115 miles long and has

a surface area of approximately 225 square miles. If during flood conditions the Colorado River flows into the lake at a rate of 43800 cfs and the outflow from the dam is 6200 cfs, how many feet per 24-hr day will the lake level rise?

Answer: 0.518

Explanation: Total Area of lake = 225 sq miles = 6.273e+9 sq feet

Change in volume per second = 43800-6200 = 37600 cfs

Change in volume per day = 37600 * 3600 * 24 = 3.249e+9 cfd

Total rise of water level per day = Change in volume per day/Total lake area

= 3.249e+9/6.273E+9 = 0.518 feet/day

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

$V = A*t$

<u>Where</u>:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>

$V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}$

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

$m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g$

Finally, with the Avogadros number ( $N_{A}$ ) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

$N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms$

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!

In a wind-turbine, the generator in the nacelle is rated at 690 V and 2.3 MW. It operates at a power factor of 0.85 (lagging) at

Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to real power in 3 phases, which is defined as the product between the phase voltage, the phase current and the power factor (Specifically given by the cosine of the phase angle). First we will find the phase voltage from the given voltage and proceed to find the current by clearing it from the previously mentioned formula. Our values are

$V = 690V$

$P_{real} = 2.3MW$

Real power in 3 phase

$P_{real} = 3V_{ph}I_{ph} Cos\theta$

Now the Phase Voltage is,

$V_{ph} = \frac{V}{\sqrt{3}}$

$V_{ph} = \frac{690}{\sqrt{3}}$

$V_{ph} = 398.37V$

The current phase would be,

$P_{real} = 3V_{ph}I_{ph} Cos\theta$

Rearranging,

$I_{ph}=\frac{P_{real}}{3V_{ph}Cos\theta}$

Replacing,

$I_{ph}=\frac{2.3MW}{3( 398.37V)(0.85)}$

$I_{ph}= 2.26kA/phase$

Therefore the current per phase is 2.26kA

Let <em>f(z)</em> = (4<em>z </em>² + 2<em>z</em>) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1).

First, carry out the division:

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 + (8<em>z</em> - 2) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1)

Observe that

2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1 = (2<em>z</em> - 1) (<em>z</em> - 1)

so you can separate the rational part of <em>f(z)</em> into partial fractions. We have

(8<em>z</em> - 2) / (2<em>z </em>² - 3<em>z</em> + 1) = <em>a</em> / (2<em>z</em> - 1) + <em>b</em> / (<em>z</em> - 1)

8<em>z</em> - 2 = <em>a</em> (<em>z</em> - 1) + <em>b</em> (2<em>z</em> - 1)

8<em>z</em> - 2 = (<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em>) <em>z</em> - (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

so that <em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> = 8 and <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 2, yielding <em>a</em> = -4 and <em>b</em> = 6.

So we have

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 - 4 / (2<em>z</em> - 1) + 6 / (<em>z</em> - 1)

or

<em>f(z)</em> = 2 - (2/<em>z</em>) (1 / (1 - 1/(2<em>z</em>))) + (6/<em>z</em>) (1 / (1 - 1/<em>z</em>))

Recall that for |<em>z</em>| < 1, we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n$

Replace <em>z</em> with 1/<em>z</em> to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-\frac1z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

so that by substitution, we can write

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \frac2z \sum_{n=0}^\infty (2z)^{-n} + \frac6z \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

Now condense <em>f(z)</em> into one series:

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^{-n+1} z^{-(n+1)} + 6 \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n-1}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(6+2^{-n+1}\right) z^{-(n+1)}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{-(n-1)+1}\right) z^{-n}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{2-n}\right) z^{-n}$

So, the inverse <em>Z</em> transform of <em>f(z)</em> is $\boxed{6+2^{2-n}}$ .

Why is an integrated circuit (IC) referred to as a special device?"<br> points more than 10 plz help

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Because IC microcomputers are smaller and more versatile than previous control mechanisms, they allow the equipment to respond to a wider range of input and produce a wider range of output. They can also be reprogrammed without having to redesign the control circuitry
