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 fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 90 MPa (13050 psi), and the stress amplitude was 190 MPa (27560 psi).

Gwar [14]

Answer:

a) 280MPa

b) -100MPa

c) -0.35

d) 380 MPa

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mean stress $\sigma_m = 90MPa$

stress amplitude $\sigma_a = 190MPa$

a) $\sigma_m =\frac{\sigma_max+\sigma_min}{2}$

$90 =\frac{\sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}}{2}$ --------------1

$\sigma_a =\frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}$

$190 = \frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}$ -----------2

solving 1 and 2 equation we get

$\sigma_{max} = 280MPa$

b) $\sigma_{min} = - 100MPa$

stress ratio $=\frac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}$

$=\frac{-100}{280} = -0.35$

d)magnitude of stress range

$=(\sigma_{max} -\sigma_{min})$

= 280 -(-100) = 380 MPa

What is the difference between an arch and a dome?

bonufazy [111]

This is an arch, its basically a half circle attach to a rectangle, you could also think of it as an upside down U. A dome is a Sphere with the inside hollowed out.

1 difference is a dome is a 3 dimensional shape while an arch is normally not. Or that a dome is the complete shape with a arch act as it’s diameter.

A driver traveling in her 16-foot SUV at the speed limit of 30 mph was arrested for running a red light at 15th and Main, an int

Lynna [10]

Answer:

(a) Yes

(b) 102.8 ft

Explanation:

(a)First let convert mile per hour to feet per second

30 mph = 30 * 5280 / 3600 = 44 ft/s

The time it takes for this driver to decelerate comfortably to 0 speed is

t = v / a = 44 / 10 = 4.4 (s)

given that it also takes 1.5 seconds for the driver reaction, the total time she would need is 5.9 seconds. Therefore, if the yellow light was on for 4 seconds, that's not enough time and the dilemma zone would exist.

(b) At this rate the distance covered by the driver is

$s = v_0t + \frac{at^2}{2}$

$s =44*1.5 + 44(4.4) - \frac{10*4.4^2}{2} = 162.8 (ft)$

Since the intersection is only 60 feet wide, the dilemma zone must be

162.8 - 60 = 102.8 ft
