Answer:

The peripheral system allows the brain and spinal cord to receive and send information to other areas of the body, which allows us to react to stimuli in our environment.

The nerves that make up the peripheral nervous system are actually the axons or bundles of axons from nerve cells or neurons.

The peripheral nervous system
The PNS functions via a series of reflex arc circuits with afferent and efferent arms controlled by the CNS. An understanding of the many PNS disorders requires an understanding of the complexities of the macro- and microanatomy of peripheral nerves, as well as their molecular biology, immunology, and pathophysiology

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Companies are combining their online business activities with their existing physical presence in order to lower costs of their operations. When both these things are combined labor costs are reduced because with online presence the company has to have limited number of branches, inventory costs are reduced because additional inventories for every physical outlet is not required and delivery costs are reduced because now company don't have to supply the things to all the outlets on regular basis.

Trust of the people is also improved because mostly people are reluctant to order from the brands that only have their online store and donot have any physical presence. Value added services are provided by a company who have both online and offline presence like home delivery and customized offerings.

A small pad subjected to a shearing force is deformed at the top of the pad 0.08 in. The height of the pad is 1.38 in. What is t

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

Explanation:

Shear strain is the ratio of change in dimension along the shearing load direction to the height of the plate under application of shear load. Width of the plate remains same. Length of the plate slides under shear load.

Step1

Given:

Height of the pad is 1.38 in.

Deformation at the top of the pad is 0.08 in.

Calculation:

Step2

Shear strain is calculated as follows:

$tan\phi=\frac{\bigtriangleup l}{h}$

$tan\phi=\frac{0.08}{1.38}$

$tan\phi= 0.05797$

For small angle of $\phi$ , $tan\phi$ can take as $\phi$ .

$\phi = 0.05797 rad.$

Thus, the shear strain is 0.05797 rad.

The 150-lb man sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 3 lb>ft. Determine t

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

M = 281.25 lb*ft

Explanation:

Given

W<em>man</em> = 150 lb

Weight per linear foot of the boat: q = 3 lb/ft

L = 15.00 m

M<em>max</em> = ?

Initially, we have to calculate the Buoyant Force per linear foot (due to the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat):

∑ Fy = 0 (+↑) ⇒ q'*L - W - q*L = 0

⇒ q' = (W + q*L) / L

⇒ q' = (150 lb + 3 lb/ft*15 ft) / 15 ft

⇒ q' = 13 lb/ft (+↑)

The free body diagram of the boat is shown in the pic.

Then, we apply the following equation

q(x) = (13 - 3) = 10 (+↑)

V(x) = ∫q(x) dx = ∫10 dx = 10x (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

M(x) = ∫10x dx = 5x² (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

The maximum internal bending moment occurs when x = 7.5 ft

then

M(7.5) = 5(7.5)² = 281.25 lb*ft

Design a 7.5-V zener regulator circuit using a 7.5-V zener specified at 10mA. The zener has an incremental resistance of rZ = 30

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The answer is given in the explanation.

Explanation:

The circuit is as indicated in the attached figure.

From the analytical description the zener voltage is given as

$V_z=V_z_o+I_zr_z$

Here

Vzo is the voltage at which the slope of 1/rz intersects the voltage axis it is equal to knee voltage.

The equivalent model is shown in the attached figure.

From the above equation, Vzo is calculated as

$V_z_o=V_z-I_zr_z$

Here Vz is given as 7.5 V

Iz is given as 10 mA

rz is given as 30 Ω

Thus the Vzo is given as

$V_z_o=V_z-I_zr_z\\V_z_o=7.4-30*10*10^{-3}\\V_z_o=7.5-0.3\\V_z_o=7.2 V$

The value of I_L is given as 5 mA

Now the expression of current is as

$I=I_z+I_L\\I=10mA+5mA\\I=15 mA$

Now the resistance is calculated as

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I}\\R=\dfrac{10-7.2}{15*10^{-3}}\\R=186.66$

So the value of resistance is 186.66 Ω.

Considering the supply voltage is increased by 10%

V is 10-10%*10=10+1=11 so the

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I}\\186.66=\dfrac{11-V_o}{15*10^{-3}}\\V_o=8.2 V$

Considering the supply voltage is decreased by 10%

V is 10-10%*10=10-1=9 so the

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I}\\186.66=\dfrac{9-V_o}{15*10^{-3}}\\V_o=6.2 V$

Now if the supply voltage is 10% high and the value of Load is removed i.e I=Iz only which is 10mA

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I'}\\186.66=\dfrac{11-V_o}{10*10^{-3}}\\V_o=9.13 V$

Now the largest load current thus that the supply voltage is 10% low and the current of zener is knee current thus

$V_z_o=V_z-I_zr_z\\V_z_o=7.5-30*0.5*10^{-3}\\V_z_o=7.5-0.015\\V_z_o=7.485 V$

$R=\dfrac{V-Vo}{I'}\\186.66=\dfrac{9-7.485}{I}\\I=10.71 mA$

The load voltage is 7.485 V

Water is pumped steadily through a 0.10-m diameter pipe from one closed pressurized tank to another tank. The pump adds 4.0 kW o

jekas [21]

Complete Question

Complete Question is attached below.

Answer:

$V'=5m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter $d=0.10m$

Power $P=4.0kW$

Head loss $\mu=10m$

$\frac{P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1+H_m=\frac{P_2}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+\mu$

$\frac{300*10^3}{\rho g}+35+Hm=\frac{500*10^3}{\rho g}+15+10$

$H_m=(\frac{200*10^3}{1000*9.8}-10)$

$H_m=10.39m$

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

$P=\rho gQH_m$

Therefore

$Q=\frac{P}{\rho g H_m}$

$Q=\frac{4*10^4}{1000*9.81*10.9}$

$Q=0.03935m^3/sec$

Since

$Q=AV'$

Where

$A=\pi r^2\\A=3.142 (0.05)^2$

$A=7.85*10^{-3}$

Therefore

$V'=\frac{0.03935m^3/sec}{7.85*10^{-3}}$

$V'=5m/s$
