Answer:

Tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step1

Under-inflation is the process of tire failure under low pressure. This contributes the wear on tire.

Step2

On breaking, kinetic energy changes to heat energy because of rubbing of tire. So, rubbing action increases the wear on the tire.

Step3

Acceleration on the vehicle increases the rubbing action as well as the wear and tear on the tire. So, acceleration is an also a major cause of tire wear.

Step4

Tire rotation has least amount of wear and tear due to no rubbing action. It has less amount surface contact with the surface in rotation.

Thus, tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

A rectangular block of material with shear modulus G= 620 MPa is fixed to rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. Thelower

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

γ $_{xy}$ =0.01, P=248 kN

Explanation:

Given Data:

displacement = 2mm ;

height = 200mm ;

l = 400mm ;

w = 100 ;

G = 620 MPa = 620 N//mm²; 1MPa = 1N//mm²

a. Average Shear Strain:

The average shear strain can be determined by dividing the total displacement of plate by height

γ $_{xy}$ = displacement / total height

= 2/200 = 0.01

b. Force P on upper plate:

Now, as we know that force per unit area equals to stress

τ = P/A

Also, τ = Gγ $_{xy}$

By comapring both equations, we get

P/A = Gγ $_{xy}$ ------------ eq(1)

First we need to calculate total area,

A = l*w = 400 * 100= 4*10^4mm²

By putting the values in equation 1, we get

P/40000 = 620 * 0.01

P = 248000 N or 2.48 *10^5 N or 248 kN

1. Consider a city of 10 square kilometers. A macro cellular system design divides the city up into square cells of 1 square kil

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) $n = 1000\,users$ , b) $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$ , c) $n = 10000000\,users$ , $\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$ , $\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$

Explanation:

a) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\,km^{2}}{1\,\frac{km^{2}}{cell} }\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 1000\,users$

b) The length of the side of each cell is:

$l = \sqrt{1\,km^{2}}$

$l = 1\,km$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h$

c) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

$n = \frac{10\times 10^{6}\,m^{2}}{100\,m^{2}}\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )$

$n = 10000000\,users$

The length of each side of the cell is:

$l = \sqrt{100\,m^{2}}$

$l = 10\,m$

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{0.01\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }$

$\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h$

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}$

$\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h$

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}$

$\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h$

A fire hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.125 in. According to some fire codes, the nozzle must be capable of delivering at least 2

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$

Explanation:

Let assume that changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. The fire hose nozzle is modelled by the Bernoulli's Principle:

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} = \frac{P_{2}}{\rho \cdot g} + \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = P_{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho v^{2}$

The speed at outlet is:

$v=\frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}}$

$v=\frac{(250\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot (\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot [(1.125\,in)\cdot(\frac{0.0254\,m}{1\,in} )]^{2} }$

$v\approx 24.592\,\frac{m}{s}\,(80.682\,\frac{ft}{s} )$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = 101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (24.592\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}$

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$

How often do you need to add freon to a central air conditioning unit.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

If everything is working properly, your AC should never need a refrigerant. In fact, a central air conditioner should never need refrigerant added unless there's a refrigerant leak. We'll explain how an AC uses refrigerant and what to do if you think your system is low on refrigerant. OR When you check your air conditioner unit, or your outdoor central air unit with the fan, and see an ice building up on the refrigerant line, then you may be low on freon. ... This will cause the surrounding moisture on the refrigerant line to freeze up. This is a sign you need freon.
