Answer:

One gallon of paint can cover about 400 square feet of wall.

18 x 15 feet is 270 feet of space.

270/400 = .675 gallons for one coat on one wall

.675 x 4 = 2.7 gallons for one coat on all walls

2.7 gallons x 2 = 5.4 gallons of paint in all

There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 12 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

16 minutes

Explanation:

This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.

The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."

Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...

(4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min

The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.

You can write two equations for height:

y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)

y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank B)

These will be equal when ...

y = y

12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x

4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8

16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height

The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.

g If the rails are originally laid in contact, what is the stress in them on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0

Anettt [7]

A) The amount of space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 0.6048 cm

B) The stress in the rails on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C is; 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

<h3>Linear Thermal Expansion</h3>

We are given;

Length; L = 14 m

Initial Temperature; T_i = −5 °C

Final Temperature; T_f = 31 °C

The formula for Linear Thermal Expansion is;

ΔL = L_i * α * ΔT

where;

L_i is initial length

α is thermal expansion

ΔL is change in length

ΔT is change in temperature

Now, the thermal expansion of steel from online tables is α = 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ C⁻¹

Thus;

ΔL = 14 * 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ * (31 - (-5))

ΔL = 6.048 × 10⁻³ m = 0.6048 cm

The formula to get the stress is;

σ = Y * α * ΔT

where;

Y is young's modulus of steel = 20 × 10¹⁰ Pa

α is thermal expansion

ΔT is change in temperature

Thus;

σ = 20 × 10¹⁰ × 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ × (31 - (-5))

σ = 86.4 × 10⁶ Pa

The complete question is;

Steel train rails are laid in 14.0-m long segments placed end to end. The rails are laid on a winter day when their temperature is −5 °C.

(a) How much space must be left between adjacent rails if they are just to touch on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

(b) If the rails are originally laid in contact, what is the stress in them on a summer day when their temperature is 31.0 °C?

Comparison of density values determines whether an item will float or sink in water. For each of the values below, determine the

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

a) the object floats

b) the object floats

c) the object sinks

Explanation:

when an object is less dense than in the fluid in which it is immersed, it will float due to its weight and volume characteristics, so to solve this problem we must find the mass and volume of each object in order to calculate the density and compare it with that of water

volumen for a cube

V=L^3

L=1.53in=0.0388m

V=0.0388 ^3=5.8691x10^-5m^3=58.69ml

density=m/v

density=13.5g/58.69ml=0.23 g/ml

The wooden block floats because it is less dense than water

m=111mg=0.111g

density=m/v

density=0.111g/0.296ml=0.375g/ml

the metal paperclip floats because it is less dense than water

V=0.93cups=220.0271ml

m=0.88lb=399.1613g

Density=m/v

density=399.1613/220.027ml=1.8141g/ml

the apple sinks because it is denser than water

Find a negative feedback controller with at least two tunable gains that (1) results in zero steady state error when the input i

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Gc(s) = $\frac{0.1s + 0.28727}{s}$

Explanation:

comparing the standard approximation with the plot attached we can tune the PI gains so that the desired response is obtained. this is because the time requirement of the setting is met while the %OS requirement is not achieved instead a 12% OS is seen from the plot.

attached is the detailed solution and the plot in Matlab

How much does 1 gallon of water weigh in pound given that the density of water is 1gram/ cm3

MAXImum [283]

Explanation:

There are 8.35 pounds in a gallon of water. Water weighs 1 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 000 kilogram per cubic meter, i.e. density of water is equal to 1 000 kg/m³; at 25°C (77°F or 298.15K) at standard atmospheric pressure.
