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:

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

An ideal Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 17 and a cutoff ratio of 1.3. Determine the maximum temperature of the air and

Radda [10]

Answer:

maximum temperature = 1322 k

rate of heat addition = 212 kw

Explanation:

compression ratio = 17

cut off ratio = 1.3

power produced = 140 Kw

state of air at the beginning of the compression = 90 kPa and 578 c

Determine the maximum temperature of air

Twenty-five wooden beams were ordered or a construction project. The sample mean and he sample standard deviation were measured

aksik [14]

Answer:

Correct option: B. 90%

Explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

$CI = [\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} , \bar{x}+z\sigma_{\bar{x}} ]$

If $\bar{x}$ is 190, we can find the value of $z\sigma_{\bar{x}}$ :

$\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 188.29$

$190 - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 188.29$

$z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1.71$

Now we need to find the value of $\sigma_{\bar{x}}$ :

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = s / \sqrt{n}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 5/ \sqrt{25}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1$

So the value of z is 1.71.

Looking at the z-table, the z value that gives a z-score of 1.71 is 0.0436

This value will occur in both sides of the normal curve, so the confidence level is:

$CI = 1 - 2*0.0436 = 0.9128 = 91.28\%$

The nearest CI in the options is 90%, so the correct option is B.
