Answer:

Explanation:

In the Canadian country, it is possible that the country is able to produce either 100 units of lumber or 1000 lightbulbs. Then, 100 lumber is equal to 1000 bulbs in the home, and hence, one lumber is equivalent to 10 bulbs. Therefore, the opportunity cost of lumber in the home is ten bulbs.

Thus, the country's production possibilities frontier PPF is a linear combination of 100 lumber and 1000 bulbs. The graphical diagram of the production possibilities frontier PPF can be seen in the image below.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

<u>construction workers</u>

Explanation:

A construction worker is usually someone with the technical skills and abilities needed to manually construct physical infrastructures.

Since a walkway is an infrastructure, hiring skilled construction workers should perform the project of building the series of walkways within the large garden apartment.

Question # 5
spayn [35]

The statement which best characterizes the relationship between a general contractor and a construction manager is that; A construction manager subcontracts a general contractor to perform <em>work</em>.

A construction project manager is saddled with the responsibility of overseeing the planning and delivery of construction projects.

  • In essence, they ensure that work is completed on time and within budget. Other functions include organising logistics, delegation of work and tracking of spending.

A general contractor otherwise known as the prime contractor is responsible for the day-to-day oversight of a construction site,<em> employment of labour, management of vendors and trades, and most importantly, the communication of information to all involved parties throughout the course of a building project.</em>

  • <em>Ultimately</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>relationship</em><em> </em><em>between</em><em> </em><em>a </em><em>general contractor and a construction manager is that; A construction manager subcontracts a general contractor to perform work.</em>

An electric motor is to be supported by four identical mounts. Each mount can be treated as a linear prevent problems due requir
Artyom0805 [142]

GIVEN:

Amplitude, A = 0.1mm

Force, F =1 N

mass of motor, m = 120 kg

operating speed, N = 720 rpm

\frac{A}{F} =  \frac{0.1\times 10^{-3}}{1} = 0.1\times 10^{-3}

Formula Used:

A = \frac{F}{\sqrt{(K_{t} - m\omega ^{2}) +(\zeta \omega ^{2})}}

Solution:

Let Stiffness be denoted by 'K' for each mounting, then for 4 mountings it is 4K

We know that:

\omega = \frac{2 \pi\times N}{60}

so,

\omega = \frac{2 \pi\times 720}{60} = 75.39 rad/s

Using the given formula:

Damping is negligible, so, \zeta = 0

\frac{A}{F} will give the tranfer function

Therefore,

\frac{A}{F} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{(4K - 120\ ^{2})}}

0.1\times 10^{-3} =  \frac{1}{\sqrt{(4K - 120\ ^{2})}}

Required stiffness coefficient, K = 173009 N/m = 173.01 N/mm

A piston-cylinder device contains 0.1 m3 of liquid water and 0.9 m² of water vapor in equilibrium at 800 kPa. Heat is transferre
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Initial temperature = 170. 414 °C

Total mass = 94.478 Kg

Final volumen = 33.1181 m^3

Diagram  = see picture.

Explanation:

We can consider this system as a close system, because there is not information about any output or input of water, so the mass in the system is constant.  

The information tells us that the system is in equilibrium with two phases: liquid and steam. When a system is a two phases region (equilibrium) the temperature and pressure keep constant until the change is completed (either condensation or evaporation). Since we know that we are in a two-phase region and we know the pressure of the system, we can check the thermodynamics tables to know the temperature, because there is a unique temperature in which with this pressure (800 kPa) the system can be in two-phases region (reach the equilibrium condition).  

For water in equilibrium at 800 kPa the temperature of saturation is 170.414 °C which is the initial temperature of the system.  

to calculate the total mass of the system, we need to estimate the mass of steam and liquid water and add them. To get these values we use the specific volume for both, liquid and steam for the initial condition. We can get them from the thermodynamics tables.

For the condition of 800 kPa and 170.414 °C using the thermodynamics tables we get:

Vg (Specific Volume of Saturated Steam) = 0.240328 m^3/kg

Vf (Specific Volume of Saturated Liquid) = 0.00111479 m^3/kg

if you divide the volume of liquid and steam provided in the statement by the specific volume of saturated liquid and steam, we can obtain the value of mass of vapor and liquid in the system.

Steam mass = *0.9 m^3 / 0.240328 m^3/kg = 3.74488 Kg

Liquid mass = 0.1 m^3 /0.00111479 m^3/kg = 89.70299 Kg  

Total mass of the system = 3.74488 Kg + 89.70299 Kg = 93,4478 Kg

If we keep the pressure constant increasing the temperature the system will experience a phase-change (see the diagram) going from two-phase region to superheated steam. When we check for properties for the condition of P= 800 kPa and T= 350°C we see that is in the region of superheated steam, so we don’t have liquid water in this condition.  

If we want to get the final volume of the water (steam) in the system, we need to get the specific volume for this condition from the thermodynamics tables.  

Specific Volume of Superheated Steam at 800 kPa and 350°C = 0.354411 m^3/kg

We already know that this a close system so the mass in it keeps constant during the process.

 

If we multiply the mass of the system by the specific volume in the final condition, we can get the final volume for the system.  

Final volume = 93.4478 Kg * 0.354411 m^3/kg = 33.1189 m^3

You can the P-v diagram for this system in the picture.  

For the initial condition you can calculate the quality of the steam (measure of the proportion of steam on the mixture) to see how far the point is from for the condition on all the mix is steam. Is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is saturated liquid and 1 is saturated steam.  

Quality of steam = mass of steam / total mass of the system

Quality of steam = 3.74488 Kg /93.4478 Kg = 0,040 this value is usually present as a percentage so is 4%.  

Since this a low value we can say that we are very close the saturated liquid point in the diagram.
