Answer:

0.0659 A

Explanation:

Given that :

$I_{0} = 6nA$ ( saturation current )

at 25°c = 300 k ( room temperature )

n = 2 for silicon diode

Determine the saturation current at 100 degrees = 373 k

Diode equation at room temperature = I = Io $\frac{V}{e^{0.025*n} }$

next we have to determine the value of V at 373 k

q / kT = (1.6 * 10^-19) / (1.38 * 10^-23 * 373) = 31.08 V^-1

Given that I is constant

Io = $\frac{e^{0.025*2} }{31.08}$ = 0.0659 A

A. A 3-kg plastic tank that has a volume of 0.2 m^3 is lled with liquid water. Assuming the density of water is 1000 kg=m^3, det

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The weight of the combined system is the sum of the weight of the water and the weight of the tank

$m_{water}=V_{tank}.\rho_{wtaer}\\\\m_{water}=0.2m^3*1000kg/m^3\\\\m_{water}=200 \ kg\\\\m_{total} = m_{water}+m_{tank}\\\\But\ m_{tank}=3kg,therefore:\\\\m_{total} =200kg+3kg\\\\m_{total} =203\ kg\\\\weight_{total}=m_{total}g\\\\weight_{total}=203kg*9.81m/s^2\\\\weight_{total}=1991.43\ N$

b) Since the weight of a system can be divided into smaller portions, hence weight is an extensive property.

c) When analyzing the acceleration of gases as they flow through a nozzle, the geometry of the nozzle which is an open system can be chosen as our system.

d) Given that:

$\rho_{water}=1000kg/m^3\\\\1kg/m^3=0.062428lb/ft^3\\\\1000kg/m^3=1000kg/m^3*\frac{0.062428lb/ft^3}{kg/m^3}=62.43lb/ft^3\\ \\\rho=SG*\rho_{water}=1.03*62.43=64.272lb/ft^3\\\\P=P_{atm}+\rho g H\\\\P=14.7\ psia+64.272\ lb/ft^3*32.2\ ft/s^2*175\ ft*\frac{1\ ft^2}{12^2\ in^2}*\frac{1\ lbf}{32.2\ lbm.ft/s^2} \\\\P=92.8\ psia$

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa √m (50 ksi √in.). If, during

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

0.024 m = 24.07 mm

Explanation:

1) Notation

$\sigma_c$ = tensile stress = 200 Mpa

$K$ = plane strain fracture toughness= 55 Mpa $\sqrt{m}$

$\lambda$ = length of a surface crack (Variable of interest)

2) Definition and Formulas

The Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling force. It is customarily measured in units (F/A), like the pressure. Is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of materials and structural engineering.

By definition we have the following formula for the tensile stress:

$\sigma_c=\frac{K}{Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}}$ (1)
