Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = \frac{d}{2} = 3 inches

density,  \rho} = 493 lbm/ ft^{3}

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ m^{2} = 386.22 inch/ s^{2}

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2V\rho  g}{A \rho C_{d}}}              (1)

(Since, m = V\times \rho)

where,

V = volume of sphere

C_{d} = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = 4\pi r^{2}

Volume of sphere, V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho  g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}  

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

v_{T} = \frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}} inch/sec

Answer:

Answer for the question:

1. A compressed air system consists of a compressor and receiver, 1500 ft of 4-in pipe, two gate valves, six standard elbows, and a manifold. Four rock drills requiring 200 cu-ft/min each are connected to the manifold by 1.25-in hoses 100 ft long. Pressure drop in the manifold is 3 psig and line leakage is 5%. Determine the pressure at the drill when all four drills are operating simultaneously and receiver pressure is 100 psig.

A 10-mm-diameter Brinell hardness indenter produced an indentation 1.55 mm in diameter in a steel alloy when a load of 500 kg wa
BigorU [14]

Answer:

HB = 3.22

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the Brinell Hardness is given as follows:

HB = \frac{2P}{\pi D\sqrt{D^{2}- d^{2} } }

where,

HB = Brinell Hardness = ?

P = Applied Load in kg = 500 kg

D = Diameter of Indenter in mm = 10 mm

d = Diameter of the indentation in mm = 1.55 mm

Therefore, using these values, we get:

HB = \frac{(2)(500)}{\pi (10)\sqrt{10^{2}- 1.55^{2} } }

<u>HB = 3.22 </u>

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

poka-yoke

Explanation:

The term 'poka-yoke' derives its meaning from Japanese language. In Japanese 'poke' means "mistakes" and 'yokeru' means " to avoid ". This ' poka yoke' means to avoid mistakes.

In any process, it is a mechanism that that helps an operator of any equipment to avoid any kind of mistakes while working. It is to prevent the defects in the products by correcting, addressing and preventing any human errors.

It is failsafing which eliminates any kind of potential errors in a process.
