Answer:

A beam carries vertical loads

Explanation:

In bridge: Beam. The beam bridge is the most common bridge form. A beam carries vertical loads by bending. As the beam bridge bends, it undergoes horizontal compression on the top.

I hope this answered your question, if not let me know :)

Technician A says if the input signal turn-on time is too fast for the input circuit, your program may operate as though the inp

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

b. Technician B only

Explanation:

A watchdog timer is a circuit that automatically monitors the MCU (Microcontroller Unit) for any anomaly, detects it and helps the MCU to recover from the malfunction it has detected.

If the input signal turn-on time is too fast for the input circuit, that is a malfunction and this activates the watchdog timer circuit to correct this malfunction immediately. So Technician B only is correct as the watchdog timer is activated immediately once there is a malfunction.

Can i join three 12 volts batteriesto give me 24 volts output

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

If we connect batteries in series then the output voltage is the sum of the individual voltage of each battery i.e if you connect three 12 volts batteries in series then their output voltage will be 12+12+12=36 volts, but the current rating of the batteries in series will be same of the individual battery rating in 'mah'.

But when we connect the batteries in parallel their voltage is not added but their current rating in mah is addition of their individual rating.

So, If you want 24 volts from three 12 volts battery then you can connect two of them in series and the other one in parallel with them this will give 24 volts and the current will be addition of the two series batteries and the third which is in parallel with them. You can use this configuration if current value is not a big factor.

A heat pump cycle is used to maintain the interior of a building at 15°C. At steady state, the heat pump receives energy by heat

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a) Ql=33120000 kJ

b) COP = 5.6

c) COPreversible= 29.3

Explanation:

a) of the attached figure we have:

HP is heat pump, W is the work supplied, Th is the higher temperature, Tl is the low temperature, Ql is heat supplied and Qh is the heat rejected. The worj is:

W=Qh-Ql

Ql=Qh-W

where W=2000 kWh

Qh=120000 kJ/h

$Q_{l}=14days(\frac{24 h}{1 day})(\frac{120000 kJ}{1 h})-2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h})=33120000 kJ$

b) The coefficient of performance is:

$COP=\frac{Q_{h} }{W}=\frac{120000 kJ/h*14(\frac{24 h}{1 day}) }{2000 kWh(\frac{3600 s}{1 h}) } = 5.6$

c) The coefficient of performance of a reversible heat pump is:

$COP_{reversible}=\frac{T_{h} }{T_{h}-T_{l} }$

Th=20+273=293 K

Tl=10+273=283K

Replacing:

$COP_{reversible}=\frac{293}{293-283}=29.3$

suter [353]

Using an appropriate failure theory, find the factor of safety in each case. State the name of the theory that you are using the theory is max stress theory.

<h3>Wat is the max stress theory?</h3>

The most shear strain concept states that the failure or yielding of a ductile fabric will arise whilst the most shear strain of the fabric equals or exceeds the shear strain fee at yield factor withinside the uniaxial tensile test.”

Stress states at various critical locations are f= 2.662.
