Answer:

The option is not there.

Explanation:

Given:

Before melting:

Radius, r

Length, l

Resistance, R

Resistivity, p

After melting:

Length, l2 = 1/2 × l

Using the resistivity relation,

p × l = R × A

Where A = area

Since only the length of the conductor changed, volume also will be affected.

Volume, V = area × l

Area, A2 = V/(1/2l)

= 2 × V/l

(R × A)/l = (R2 × A2)/(l/2)

(R × V/l)/l = (R2 × 2 × V/l)/(l/2)

(R × V)/l^2 = 4 × (R2 × V)/l^2

R = 4 × R2

R2 = R/4

Where

R2 = resistance of the new conductor

Answer:

b) R/4 (There seems to an error in mentioning the multiple choices of this question, please see below explanation of correct calculations for this  question.)

Explanation:

dimension of the conductor before melting is l, r

reistivity is p

R=(p*l)/(pie*r2)

after reforming length is reduced to L=l/4

volume in both the cases will be same

i.e. pie * r^2 * l =pie * R^2 * L

r^2 * l = R^2 * (1/2)l

due to this radius will become R=sqrt(2) * r

now new reistance is given by Rx=(p * L)/(pie * R^2)

i.e. Rx=(p * l/2)/(pie * r^2 * 2)

after simplification RX=((p * l)/(pie * r^2))/4

i.e. Rx=R/4

How does increased pressure result in the formation of a mineral?
drek231 [11]
The best answer is 
A) <span>The atoms in the mineral get rearranged

Over time, and under great pressure, the atoms of a substance can become rearranged, forming a new substance. For example, the intense pressure that carbon underground experiences, perhaps in the form of coal, can rearrange the atoms of the substance to create a diamond. </span>

Steam enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2 , 500F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 lbf/in.2 with a velocit
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

386.2^{\circ}F

Explanation:

We are given that

P_1=200lbf/in^2

P_2=60lbf/in^2

v_1=200ft/s

v_2=1700ft/s

T_1=500^{\circ}F

Q=0

C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2

C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}

1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2

Substitute the values

1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}

500+1.598=T_2+115.4

T_2=500+1.598-115.4

T_2=386.2^{\circ}F
