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 hot brass plate is having its upper surface cooled by impinging jet of air at temperature of 15°C and convection heat transfer

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

809.98°C

Explanation:

STEP ONE: The first step to take in order to solve this particular Question or problem is to find or determine the Biot value.

Biot value = (heat transfer coefficient × length) ÷ thermal conductivity.

Biot value = (220 × 0.1)÷ 110 = 0.2.

Biot value = 0.2.

STEP TWO: Determine the Fourier number. Since the Biot value is greater than 0.1. Tis can be done by making use of the formula below;

Fourier number = thermal diffusivity × time ÷ (length)^2.

Fourier number = (3 × 60 × 33.9 × 10^-6)/( 0.1)^2 = 0.6102.

STEP THREE: This is the last step for the question, here we will be calculating the temperature of the center plane of the brass plate after 3 minutes.

Thus, the temperature of the center plane of the brass plane after 3 minutes = (1.00705) (0.89199) (900- 15) + 15.

= > the temperature of the center plane of the brass plane after 3 minutes = 809.98°C.

An aircraft is flying at 300 mph true airspeed has a 50 mph tailwind. What is its ground speed?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

304.13 mph

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

The Speed of the flying aircraft = 300 mph

Tailwind of the true airspeed = 50 mph

Now,

The ground speed will be calculated as:

ground speed = $\sqrt{300^2+50^2}$

The ground speed = $\sqrt{92500}$

The ground speed = 304.13 mph

Hence, the ground speed is 304.13 mph

Initially, a pump pressure of __________ pounds per square inch should be used to maintain a sprinkler or standpipe system.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

of 150 pounds per square inch

Explanation:

Note that the unit for measuring water pressure is called pounds per square inch (psi)

In the case of sprinklers and standpipe systems, a pressure of 150 pounds per square inch was used initially.
