Answer:

The weight should be added to the base of the sign to keep it from tipping is 65.6 lb

Explanation:

Given data:

A sigh weighs 40 pounds

Suported by an 18 in x 18 in square

Force of the wind 13.2 lb

Questions: Will the sign tip over, if yes, how much evelnly distributed weight should be added to the base of the sign to keep it from tipping, W = ?

The sign and the post have a length of 6 ft. You need to calculate the distance from the edge to the middle point:

18/2 = 9 in = 0.75 ft

Force acting in the base (40 lb):

F=\frac{40*0.75}{6} =5lb

The weight should be added to the base:

(40+W)*\frac{0.75}{6} =13.2\\W=65.6lb

. A 10W light bulb connected to a series of batteries may produce a brighter lightthan a 250W light bulb connected to the same b
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the equation:

Power dissipated= square of voltage supplied by battery ÷ Resistance of the load

i.e P= V^2/R

It means that at constant voltage, the the power consumed is inversely related to the resistance. Therefore the 10W bulb which has a higher resistance will consume less power using the sufficiently excess power dissipated to glow brighter than the 250W bulb which has a low resistance. The power dissipated will partly be used to overcome this low resistance making less power available for heating up the 250W bulb .

Which of the following is not a relationship set between elements in a sketch​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The entity relationship (ER) data model has existed for over 35 years. It is well suited to data modelling for use with databases because it is fairly abstract and is easy to discuss and explain. ER models are readily translated to relations. ER models, also called an ER schema, are represented by ER diagrams.

An Ideal gas is being heated in a circular duct as while flowing over an electric heater of 130 kW. The diameter of duct is 500
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C_{p} = 1000 J/kg K,   R = 500 J/kg K = 0.5 kJ/kg K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

P_{1} = 100 kPa,     V_{1} = 15 m^{3}/s

T_{1} = 27^{o}C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K

We know that for an ideal gas the mass flow rate will be calculated as follows.

     P_{1}V_{1} = mRT_{1}

or,         m = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}

                = \frac{100 \times 15}{0.5 \times 300}

                = 10 kg/s

Now, according to the steady flow energy equation:

mh_{1} + Q = mh_{2} + W

h_{1} + \frac{Q}{m} = h_{2} + \frac{W}{m}

C_{p}T_{1} - \frac{80}{10} = C_{p}T_{2} - \frac{130}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1})C_{p} = \frac{130 - 80}{10}

(T_{2} - T_{1}) = 5 K

T_{2} = 5 K + 300 K

T_{2} = 305 K

           = (305 K - 273 K)

           = 32^{o}C

Therefore, we can conclude that the exit temperature of the gas in deg C is 32^{o}C.
