Answer:

the correct distance is 202 ft

Explanation:

The computation of the correct distance is shown below:

But before that correction to be applied should be determined

= (101 ft - 100 ft) ÷ (100 ft) × 200 ft

= 2 ft

Now the correct distance is

= 200 ft + 2 ft

= 202 ft

Hence, the correct distance is 202 ft

The same would be relevant and considered too

What is a combination circuit? A combination circuit:

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Combination circuit; The basic strategy for the analysis of combination circuits involves using the meaning of equivalent resistance for parallel branches to transform the combination circuit into a series circuit.

Example:

The use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuit.

Using Pascal’s Law and a hydraulic jack, you want to lift a 4,000 lbm rock. The large cylinder has a diameter of 6 inches.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

a diameter of D₂ = 0.183 inches would be required

Explanation:

appyling pascal's law

P applied to the hydraulic jack = P required to lift the rock

F₁*A₁ = F₂*A₂

since A₁= π*D₁²/4 , A₂= π*D₂²/4

F₁*π*D₁²/4 = F₂* π*D₂²/4

F₁*D₁²=F₂*D₂²

D₂ = D₁ *√(F₁/F₂)

replacing values

D₂ = D₁ *√(F₁/F₂) = 6 in * √(120 lbf/(4000 lbm * 32.174 (lbf/lbm)) = 0.183 inches

1. A gas pressure difference is applied to the legs of a U-tube manometer filled with a liquid with S = 1.5. The manometer readi

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1) The pressure difference is 4.207 kilopascals.

2) 2.5 pounds per square inch equals 5.093 inches of mercury and 5.768 feet of water.

Explanation:

1) We can calculate the gas pressure difference from the U-tube manometer by using the following hydrostatic formula:

$\Delta P = \frac{S\cdot \rho_{w}\cdot g \cdot \Delta h}{1000}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$S$ - Relative density, dimensionless.

$\rho_{w}$ - Density of water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$\Delta h$ - Height difference in the U-tube manometer, measured in meters.

$\Delta P$ - Gas pressure difference, measured in kilopascals.

If we know that $S = 1.5$ , $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta h = 0.286\,m$ , then the pressure difference is:

$\Delta P = \frac{1.5\cdot \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.286\,m)}{1000}$

$\Delta P = 4.207\,kPa$

The pressure difference is 4.207 kilopascals.

2) From Physics we remember that a pound per square unit equals 2.036 inches of mercury and 2.307 feet of water and we must multiply the given pressure by corresponding conversion unit: ( $p = 2.5\,psi$ )

$p = 2.5\,psi\times 2.037\,\frac{in\,Hg}{psi}$

$p = 5.093\,in\,Hg$

$p = 2.5\,psi\times 2.307\,\frac{ft\,H_{2}O}{psi}$

$p = 5.768\,ft\,H_{2}O$

2.5 pounds per square inch equals 5.093 inches of mercury and 5.768 feet of water.

Suppose a consumer advocacy group would like to conduct a survey to find the proportion p of consumers who bought the newest gen

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

a) Sample size = 1691

b) 95% Confidence Interval = (0.3696, 0.4304)

Explanation:

(a) How large a sample n should they take to estimate p with 2% margin of error and 90% confidence?

The margin of error is given by

$MoE = z \cdot \frac{\sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} } \\\\$

Where z is the corresponding z-score for 90% confidence level

z = 1.645 (from z-table)

for p = 0.50 and 2% margin of error, the required sample size would be

$n = \frac{1.645^{2} \cdot 0.50(1-0.50)}{0.02^{2}} \\\\n = \frac{0.6765}{0.0004} \\\\n = 1691\\$

(b) The advocacy group took a random sample of 1000 consumers who recently purchased this mobile phone and found that 400 were happy with their purchase. Find a 95% confidence interval for p.

The sample proportion is

p = 400/1000

p = 0.40

z = 1.96 (from z-table)

n = 1000

The confidence interval is given by

$CI = p \pm z \cdot \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\\\CI = 0.40 \pm 1.96 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.40(1-0.40)}{1000} } \\\\CI = 0.40 \pm 1.96 \cdot 0.01549 \\\\CI = 0.40 \pm 0.0304 \\\\CI = 0.40 - 0.0304 \: and \: 0.40 + 0.0304\\\\CI = (0.3696 ,\: 0.4304)$

Therefore, we are 95% confident that the proportion of consumers who bought the newest generation of mobile phone were happy with their purchase is within the range of (0.3696, 0.4304)

What is Confidence Interval?

The confidence interval represents an interval that we can guarantee that the target variable will be within this interval for a given confidence level.
