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

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)

We are interested on the minimum length of a surface that will lead to a fracture, so we need to solve for $\lambda$

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by $Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}$

$\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}=K$ (2)

Sequaring both sides of equation (2):

$(\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda})^2=(K)^2$

$\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi\lambda=K^2$ (3)

Dividing both sides by $\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi$ we got:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{K}{Y\sigma_c}]^2$ (4)

Replacing the values into equation (4) we got:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{55 Mpa\sqrt{m}}{1.0(200Mpa)}]^2 =0.02407m$

3) Final solution

So the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture, would be 24.07 mm or more.

An incandescent light bulb can be regarded as a resistor. If its power output is 100W, calculate the resistance of the light bul

stira [4]

Answer: $121\ \Omega$

$0.909\ A$

Explanation:

Given

Power $P=100\ W$

Voltage applied $V=110\ V$

Resistance of the bulb is given by

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

$100=\frac{110^2}{R}$

$R=\frac{12100}{100}$

$R=121\ \Omega$

Current drawn by the Power source is given by

$P=V\cdot I$

$I=\frac{P}{V}$

$I=\frac{100}{110}$

$I=0.909\ A$

Tech A says that the brake pedal uses leverage to multiply foot pressure. Tech B says that when braking hard while moving

Nikolay [14]

Tech- A is correct

Explanation:

Leverage is defined as using a tool to gain mechanical influence. The measure of the benefit gained depends on what kind of lever is used and how it is utilized.
Leverage is designed in such a way that it can reproduce the force from your leg many times before any force is transferred to brake fluid.
The brake pedal size and the measure of leverage received depends on the overall design of the brake system.
The second-order lever is used in the brake pedal. The brake pedal applies leverage to populate the force employed to the master cylinder. The effort needed to drive a load depends on the corresponding distance of the load and the work from the fulcrum. The proportion of load and work is known as mechanical advantage.
