They are as follows-

Speed
Accuracy
Storage
Versatility
Diligence
Automation
Reliability
Power of Remembering

Let us understand each characteristic in brief:-

Speed – Speed of a computer means the time it takes to complete any given task. The computer works at a very lightning speed. For example, a computer takes a second to calculate 3 million calculations rather than a human which takes years. Hence nowadays the speed of the computer is measured in terms of microseconds, Nanoseconds, and even in Pico seconds instead of seconds or milliseconds.


Accuracy – The computers are programmed and designed in such a manner that their results are almost 100% accurate. It performs all the tasks with the same accuracy. There are very few chances of uncertainty in results and even though an error occurs, it can happen either due to wrong input data or unreliable programs by a programmer. Such errors are referred to as Garbage In Garbage Out (GIGO) which means, if you provide wrong instructions to the computer then you get wrong results.


Versatility – Along with being accurate and diligent a computer is also a versatile device. It can perform several types of tasks at a time if they are reduced to a certain set of logical steps. A computer can be used for many purposes at different places such as booking air and rail tickets, weather forecasting, listening to music, and playing games. Also at a time, one can pay his utility bills and can make a monthly budget too. It can prepare documents, data sheets and also can make models of houses, dams, etc.
Diligence – The ability of a computer to perform tasks without getting tired is known as diligence. Computers are highly reliable, they do not get fed up, exhausted, or lack concentration. They can work for hours and hours unlike humans and can give accurate or error-free results. For example, humans will start feeling tired after 2 -3 hours and will lack concentration whereas a computer will keep on working until the results are achieved.
Automation – Automation means working automatically. A computer can work on its own without the intervention of the person using it. Programs can be made for the computer to perform the task and based on the sequence it executes the tasks and gives accurate results. In case an error occurs, it gives error messages too and registers the logs.
Reliability – High reliability of a computer depends on low failure rate and easy maintenance. The results given out by the computer are reliable as the accuracy is almost 100%.
Power of Remembering – The computer has the power of storing data or information for several years. It cannot lose the data on its own. A person can retrieve the data whenever required and the data remains the same after a number of years also. It gives the freedom to the user to decide on how much data to store and how much to remove.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11-h duration will raise the carbon concentration
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Time =t2=58.4 h

Explanation:

Since temperature is the same hence using condition

x^2/Dt=constant

where t is the time as temperature so D also remains constant

hence

x^2/t=constant

2.3^2/11=5.3^2/t2

time=t^2=58.4 h

An aircraft increases its speed by 2% in straight and level flight. If the total lift remains constant determine the revised CL
damaskus [11]

Answer:

96.1%

Explanation:

We know that lift force

F_L=\dfrac{1}{2}C_L\rho AV^2

                                                                    ------------(1)

Where C_L is the lift force coefficient .

          ρ is the density of fluid.

         A is the area.

        V is the velocity.

Now when speed is increased by 2 % and all other parameter remains constant except C_L .

Let;s take new value of lift force coefficient is C_L' .

F_L=\dfrac{1}{2}C_L'\rho A(1.02V)^2

                                                                         -----------(2)

Now from equation 1 and 2

C_L\times V^2=C_L'\times1.0404 V^2

⇒C_L'=0.961C_L

So we can say that revised value of  lift force coefficient is 96.1% of original value.

1. Sewage-treatment plant, a large concrete tank initially contains 440,000 liters liquid and 10,000 kg fine suspended solids. T
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Concentration = 10.33 kg/m³

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of solids; 10,000 kg

Volume; V = 440,000 L = 440 m³

Rate at which water is pumped out = 40,000 liter/h

Thus, at the end of 5 hours we amount of water that has been replaced with fresh water is = 40,000 liter/h x 5 hours = 200,000 L = 200 m³

Now, since the tank is perfectly mixed, therefore we can calculate a ratio of fresh water to sewage water as;

200m³/440m³ = 5/11

Thus, the amount left will be calculated by multiplying that ratio by the amount of solids;

Thus,

Amount left; = 10000 x (5/11) = 4545 kg

The concentration would be calculated by:

Concentration = amount left/initial volume

Thus,

Concentration = 4545/440 = 10.3 kg/m³
