Explanation:

This is not so much a mathematical issue as a case study, because the response will inevitably require us to test the special Columbic shuttle disaster scenario. I would suggest that you read this in detail and present the points accordingly. Here I give as many points as I think are relevant.

The failure of a space program is definitely a complex situation, more than a simple binomial distribution. It's definitely not as simple as repeating the flip of a coin. There are several coherent factors and situations that govern the overall coordination and execution of such an event. The problem is, those who are running a project like this are still making a trade off,It is never the case that they sealed the lid on any chance of failure between multiple parameters. You try to do something, but often, as is the case above, the potentially dangerous situation is impossible or uncontrollable. Since the root cause of failure, which is dried out tiles that can not withstand heat and water, it appears that owing to the constant use of the shuttle the head architects have not foreseen this.

If particleboard is used as wall sheathing, the grade mark with type _____ or _____ should be stamped on it.
kramer

If particleboard is used as wall sheathing, the grade mark with type M1 or M2 should be stamped on it.

<h3>What is particle board?</h3>

Particle board is notably used as floors underlayment or as a base for parquet floors, timber floors, or for carpets. For this purpose, the particle forums are dealt with with unique chemical compounds and resins to cause them to water-resistant or termite proof.

Waferboard, OSB, and composite plywood, while carried out as wall sheathing, offer a nail base for software of shingle siding.

If you make a mistake in polarity when measuring the value of DC voltage in a circuit with a digital VOM, what will happen? A. T
zimovet [89]

Answer:

C. The meter will display a negative sign.

Explanation:

If you use an analog voltmeter and you measure voltage with reverse polarity you will damage it. But in this case we are using a digital multimeter. This kind of multimeter is designed to be able to deal with positive and negative voltages

An incompressible fluid flows between two infinite stationary parallel plates. The velocity profile is given by u=umaxðAy2 + By+
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the volume flow rate per unit depth is:

\frac{Q}{b} = \frac{2}{3} u_{max} h

the ratio is : \frac{V}{u_{max}}=\frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

From the question; the  equations of the velocities profile in the system are:

u = u_{max}(Ay^2+By+C)   ----- equation (1)

The above boundary condition can now be written as :

At y= 0; u =0           ----- (a)

At y = h; u =0            -----(b)

At y = \frac{h}{2} ; u = u_{max}     ------(c)

where ;

A,B and C are constant

h = distance between two plates

u = velocity

u_{max} = maximum velocity

y = measured distance upward from the lower plate

Replacing the boundary condition in (a) into equation (1) ; we have:

u = u_{max}(Ay^2+By+C) \\ \\ 0 = u_{max}(A*0+B*0+C) \\ \\ 0=u_{max}C \\ \\ C= 0

Replacing the boundary condition (b) in equation (1); we have:

u = u_{max}(Ay^2+By+C) \\ \\ 0 = u_{max}(A*h^2+B*h+C) \\ \\ 0 = Ah^2 +Bh + C \\ \\ 0 = Ah^2 +Bh + 0 \\ \\ Bh = - Ah^2 \\ \\ B = - Ah   \ \ \ \ \   --- (d)

Replacing the boundary condition (c) in equation (1); we have:

u = u_{max}(Ay^2+By+C) \\ \\ u_{max}= u_{max}(A*(\frac{h^2}{2})+B*\frac{h}{2}+C) \\ \\ 1 = \frac{Ah^2}{4} +B \frac{h}{2} + 0 \\ \\ 1 =  \frac{Ah^2}{4} + \frac{h}{2}(-Ah)  \\ \\ 1=  \frac{Ah^2}{4}  - \frac{Ah^2}{2}  \\ \\ 1 = \frac{Ah^2 - Ah^2}{4}  \\ \\ A = -\frac{4}{h^2}

replacing A = -\frac{4}{h^2} for A in (d); we get:

B = - ( -\frac{4}{h^2})hB = \frac{4}{h}

replacing the values of A, B and C into the velocity profile expression; we have:

u = u_{max}(Ay^2+By+C) \\ \\ u = u_{max} (-\frac{4}{h^2}y^2+\frac{4}{h}y)

To determine the volume flow rate; we have:

Q = AV \\ \\ Q= \int\limits^h_0 (u.bdy)

Replacing u_{max} (-\frac{4}{h^2}y^2+\frac{4}{h}y) \ for \ u

\frac{Q}{b} = \int\limits^h_0 u_{max}(-\frac{4}{h^2} y^2+\frac{4}{h}y)dy \\ \\  \frac{Q}{b} = u_{max}  \int\limits^h_0 (-\frac{4}{h^2} y^2+\frac{4}{h}y)dy \\ \\ \frac{Q}{b} = u_{max} (-\frac{-4}{h^2}\frac{y^3}{3} +\frac{4}{h}\frac{y^2}{y})^ ^ h}}__0  }} \\ \\ \frac{Q}{b} =u_{max} (-\frac{-4}{h^2}\frac{h^3}{3} +\frac{4}{h}\frac{h^2}{y})^ ^ h}}__0  }} \\ \\ \frac{Q}{b} = u_{max}(\frac{-4h}{3}+\frac{4h}2} ) \\ \\ \frac{Q}{b} = u_{max}(\frac{-8h+12h}{6}) \\ \\ \frac{Q}{b} =u_{max}(\frac{4h}{6})

\frac{Q}{b} = u_{max}(\frac{2h}{3}) \\ \\ \frac{Q}{b} = \frac{2}{3} u_{max} h

Thus; the volume flow rate per unit depth is:

\frac{Q}{b} = \frac{2}{3} u_{max} h

Consider the discharge ;

Q = VA

where :

A = bh

Q = Vbh

\frac{Q}{b}= Vh

Also;  \frac{Q}{b} = \frac{2}{3} u_{max} h

Then;

\frac{2}{3} u_{max} h = Vh \\ \\ \frac{V}{u_{max}}=\frac{2}{3}

Thus; the ratio is : \frac{V}{u_{max}}=\frac{2}{3}

An inclined rectangular sluice gate AB 1.2 m by 5 m size as shown in Fig. Q3 is installed to control the discharge of water. The
ollegr [7]

Answer:

138.68 kN

Explanation:

I assume the figure is the one included in my answer.

Let's say r is the distance from the hinge A.  For a narrow section of the gate at this position, the length is dr, the width is w, and the area is dA.

dA = w dr

The pressure is:

P = ρgh

Using geometry, we can write h in terms of r.

(OA + r)² = h² + h²

(5√2 − 1.2 + r)² = 2h²

5√2 − 1.2 + r = √2 h

h = (5√2 − 1.2 + r) / √2

So the pressure at position r is:

P = ρg (5√2 − 1.2 + r) / √2

The force at position r is:

dF = P dA

dF = ρgw (5√2 − 1.2 + r) / √2 dr

The moment about hinge A caused by this force is:

dM = dF r

dM = (ρgw/√2) ((5√2 − 1.2) r + r²) dr

The total torque caused by the pressure is is:

M = ∫ dM

M = (ρgw/√2) ∫ ((5√2 − 1.2) r + r²) dr

M = (ρgw/√2) (½ (5√2 − 1.2) r² + ⅓ r³) [from r=0 to r=1.2]

M = (ρgw/√2) (½ (5√2 − 1.2) (1.2)² + ⅓ (1.2)³)

Sum of the moments on the gate:

∑τ = Iα

F(1.2) − M = 0

F = M / 1.2

F = (ρgw/√2) (½ (5√2 − 1.2) (1.2) + ⅓ (1.2)²)

Given that ρ = 1000 kg/m³, g = 9.81 m/s², and w = 5 m:

F = (1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 5 m /√2) (½ (5√2 − 1.2) (1.2) + ⅓ (1.2)²)

F = 138.68 kN

Round as needed.
