The correct answer is C. A PFD takes some time to fit properly especially in an emergency.

Explanation:

The purpose of a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) such as a life jacket is to keep people floating to prevent drowning. Additionally, its effectiveness depends on whether the Personal Floating Device was fitted properly. Because of this, if an activity involves being in or around water, it is important to wear a Personal Flotation Device and to fit this properly before approaching the water because it is difficult to adjust the device during an emergency. Thus, it is important to wear a PFD in or around water because this takes some time to fit properly (Option C.)

A water-filled manometer is used to measure the pressure in an air-filled tank. One leg of the manometer is open to atmosphere.

ddd [48]

Answer:

$P = 150.335\,kPa$ (Option B)

Explanation:

The absolute pressure of the air-filled tank is:

$P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot (5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)$

$P = 150.335\,kPa$

A cylindrical brass rod has a length of 5.00cm extending from a holder and a diameter of 4.50mm. Its Young's modulus is 98.0GPa.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

Explanation:

given data

length = 5 cm = 50 mm

diameter = 4.50 mm

Young's modulus = 98.0 GPa

load = 610 N

to find out

what will be the elongation of the brass rod in mm

solution

we know here change in length formula that is express as

δ = $\frac{PL}{AE}$ ................1

here δ is change in length and P is applied load and A id cross section area and E is Young's modulus and L is length

so all value in equation 1

δ = $\frac{PL}{AE}$

δ = $\frac{610*50}{\frac{\pi}{4} * 4.50^2 * 98*10^3}$

δ = 0.01956 mm

so elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

A three-point bending test is performed on a glass specimen having a rectangular cross section of height d 5 mm (0.2 in.) and wi

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The flexural strength of a specimen is = 78.3 M pa

Explanation:

Given data

Height = depth = 5 mm

Width = 10 mm

Length L = 45 mm

Load = 290 N

The flexural strength of a specimen is given by

$\sigma = \frac{3 F L}{2 bd^{2} }$

$\sigma = \frac{3(290)(45)}{2 (10)(5)^{2} }$

$\sigma =$ 78.3 M pa

Therefore the flexural strength of a specimen is = 78.3 M pa

Find the largest number. The process of finding the maximum value (i.e., the largest of a group of values) is used frequently in

salantis [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Required

- Pseudocode to determine the largest of 10 numbers

- C# program to determine the largest of 10 numbers

The pseudocode and program makes use of a 1 dimensional array to accept input for the 10 numbers;

The largest of the 10 numbers is then saved in variable Largest and printed afterwards.

Pseudocode (Number lines are used for indentation to illustrate the program flow)

1. Start:

2. Declare Number as 1 dimensional array of 10 integers

3. Initialize: counter = 0

4. Do:

4.1 Display “Enter Number ”+(counter + 1)

4.2 Accept input for Number[counter]

4.3 While counter < 10

5. Initialize: Largest = Number[0]

6. Loop: i = 0 to 10

6.1 if Largest < Number[i] Then

6.2 Largest = Number[i]

6.3 End Loop:

7. Display “The largest input is “+Largest

8. Stop

C# Program (Console)

Comments are used for explanatory purpose

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

int[] Number = new int[10]; // Declare array of 10 elements

//Accept Input

int counter = 0;

while(counter<10)

{

Console.WriteLine("Enter Number " + (counter + 1)+": ");

string var = Console.ReadLine();

Number[counter] = Convert.ToInt32(var);

counter++;

}

//Initialize largest to first element of the array

int Largest = Number[0];

//Determine Largest

for(int i=0;i<10;i++)

{

if(Largest < Number[i])

{

Largest = Number[i];

}

//Print Largest

Console.WriteLine("The largest input is "+ Largest);

Console.ReadLine();

}
