According to the article, what is one reason why commercial carmakers aim to develop driverless technology?

1 answer:

8 0

Incomplete question. However, I inferred you referring to the online article "How automakers can survive the self-driving era."

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the article, as a result of the perceived demand for autonomous cars in the next few years, this has led to a heightened desire among commercial carmakers to develop driverless technology.

For example, carmakers such as Audi, Toyota have stated projections about the commercial availability of driverless cars.

What are the disadvantages of having a liquid cooled engine?

Feliz [49]

One notable disadvantage of liquid cooling over air cooling is that it is considerably costly to set up. Cooling fans are prevalent in the market, and this overabundance of supply means they are cheap. The components of a liquid cooling system can be expensive.

Ammonia contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially saturated vapor at 0o F, undergoes an isothermal process during which

Rudik [331]

ANSWERS:

$-P_{2(a)} =15.6lbf/in^2\\-P_{2(b)} =30.146lbf/in^2\\ T_{2(a)} =0^oF\\T_{2(b)} =0^oF\\x_{2(b)} =49.87percent$

Explanation:

Given:

Piston cylinder assembly which mean that the process is constant pressure process P=C.

<u>AMMONIA </u>

state(1)

saturated vapor $x_{1} =1$

The temperature $T_{1} =0^0 F$

Isothermal process $T=C$

$-V_{2} =2V_{1}$ ( double)

$-V_{2} =.5V_{2}$ (reduced by half)

To find the final state by giving the quality in lbf/in we assume the friction is neglected and the system is in equilibrium.

state(1)

using PVT data for saturated ammonia

$-P_{1} =30.416 lbf/in^2\\-v_{1} =v_{g} =9.11ft^3/lb$

then the state exists in the supper heated region.

a) from standard data

$-v_{1(a)} =2v_{1} =18.22ft^3/lb\\-T_{1} =0^oF$

$at\\P_{x} =14lbf/in^2\\-v_{x} =20.289 ft^3/kg$

$at\\P_{y} =16 lbf/in^2\\-v_{y} =17.701ft^3/kg$

assume linear interpolation

$\frac{P_{x}-P_{2(b)} }{P_{x}- P_{y} } =\frac{v_{x}-v_{1(a)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }$

$P_{1(b)}=P_{x} -(P_{x} -P_{y} )*\frac{v_{x}- v_{1(b)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }\\ \\P_{1(b)} =14-(14-16)*\frac{20.289-18.22}{20.289-17.701} =15.6lbf/in^2$

$-v_{2(a)} =2v_{1} =4.555ft^3/lb\\v_{g}$

from standard data

$-v_{f} =0.02419ft^3/kg\\-v_{g} =9.11ft^3/kg\\v_{f}$

then the state exist in the wet zone

$-P_{s} =30.146lbf/in^2\\v_{2(a)} =v_{f} +x(v_{g} -v_{f} )$

$x=\frac{v_{2(a)-v_{f} } }{v_{g} -v_{f} } \\x=\frac{4.555-0.02419}{9.11-0.02419} =49.87%$

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

Determine the maximum mass of the crate so

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

293 kg

Explanation:

Let's say the tension in each cable is Tb, Tc, and Td.

First, find the length of cable AD:

r = √(2² + 2² + 1²)

r = 3

Using similar triangles:

Tdx = 2/3 Td

Tdy = 2/3 Td

Tdz = 1/3 Td

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

Tb − 2/3 Td = 0

Td = 3/2 Tb

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

2/3 Td − Tc = 0

Td = 3/2 Tc

Sum of the forces in the z direction:

∑F = ma

1/3 Td − mg = 0

Td = 3mg

From the first two equations, we know Td is greater than Tb or Tc. So we need to set Td to 8.6 kN, or 8600 N.

8600 N = 3mg

m = 8600 N / (3 × 9.8 m/s²)

m ≈ 292.5 kg

Rounded to three significant figures, the maximum mass of the crate is 293 kg.
