The drawbar or other connections must be strong enough to pull all the weight of the vehicle being towed. The drawbar or other connection may not exceed 15 feet from one vehicle to the other.

A battery is connected to a resistor. Increasing the resistance of the resistor will __________. A battery is connected to a res
belka [17]

Answer: the increase in the external resistor will affect and decrease the current in the circuit.

Explanation: A battery has it own internal resistance, r, and given an external resistor of resistance, R, the equation of typical of Ohm's law giving the flow of current is

E = IR + Ir = I(R + r)........(1)

Where IR is the potential difference flowing in the external circuit and Or is the lost voltage due to internal resistance of battery. From (1)

I = E/(R + r)

As R increases, and E, r remain constant, the value (R + r) increases, hence the value of current, I, in the external circuit decreases.

A hypereutectoid steel often presents hard and brittle cementite along the grain boundaries of pearlite. Which of the following
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(d) Spheroidizing

Explanation:

Spheroidizing

 This is the heat treatment process for steel which having carbon percentage more than 0.8 %.As we know that a hard and brittle material is having carbon percentage more than 0.8 %.That is why this process is suitable for the hard materials.

In this process a hard and brittle materials convert into soft and ductile after this it improve the machine ability as well as improve the tool life.

In this process grain become spheroidal and these grains are ductile.

For this problem, you may not look at any other code or pseudo-code (even if it is on the internet), other than what is on our w
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

(a)

(i) pseudo code :-

current = i

// assuming parent of root is -1

while A[parent] < A[current] && parent != -1 do,

if A[parent] < A[current] // if current element is bigger than parent then shift it up

swap(A[current],A[parent])

current = parent

(ii) In heap we create a complete binary tree which has height of log(n). In shift up we will take maximum steps equal to the height of tree so number of comparison will be in term of O(log(n))

(b)

(i) There are two cases while comparing with grandparent. If grandparent is less than current node then surely parent node also will be less than current node so swap current node with parent and then swap parent node with grandparent.

If above condition is not true then we will check for parent node and if it is less than current node then swap these.

pseudo code :-

current = i

// assuming parent of root is -1

parent is parent node of current node

while A[parent] < A[current] && parent != -1 do,

if A[grandparent] < A[current] // if current element is bigger than parent then shift it up

swap(A[current],A[parent])

swap(A[grandparent],A[parent])

current = grandparent

else if A[parent] < A[current]

swap(A[parent],A[current])

current = parent

(ii) Here we are skipping the one level so max we can make our comparison half from last approach, that would be (height/2)

so order would be log(n)/2

(iii) C++ code :-

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// function to return index of parent node

int parent(int i)

{

if(i == 0)

return -1;

return (i-1)/2;

}

// function to return index of grandparent node

int grandparent(int i)

{

int p = parent(i);

if(p == -1)

return -1;

else

return parent(p);

}

void shift_up(int A[], int n, int ind)

{

int curr = ind-1; // because array is 0-indexed

while(parent(curr) != -1 && A[parent(curr)] < A[curr])

{

int g = grandparent(curr);

int p = parent(curr);

if(g != -1 && A[g] < A[curr])

{

swap(A[curr],A[p]);

swap(A[p],A[g]);

curr = g;

}

else if(A[p] < A[curr])

{

swap(A[p],A[curr]);

curr = p;

}

}

}

int main()

{

int n;

cout<<"enter the number of elements :-\n";

cin>>n;

int A[n];

cout<<"enter the elements of array :-\n";

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)

cin>>A[i];

int ind;

cout<<"enter the index value :- \n";

cin>>ind;

shift_up(A,n,ind);

cout<<"array after shift up :-\n";

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)

cout<<A[i]<<" ";

cout<<endl;

}

The alignment readings for the front of a vehicle are shown above. Camber and toe are within specification, caster is not. Techn
dlinn [17]

Answer:

B. B only

Given Information:

1. Camber and toe are within specification

2. Caster is not within specification

Technician A says that with the current settings, the left front tire tread may wear on the inside edge.

Technician B says that with the current settings, the vehicle may pull to the left

Explanation:

Lets discuss the effects of Camber, toe and caster misalignment

Effects of Camber and Toe misalignment:

Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the fron tires and is used to distribute load across the tread. Any misalignment causes uneven loading on the tires which results in tire wear on one edge.

The most common cause of tire wear on the inside edge is due to the camber misalignment which results in premature tire wear.

Another reason is of tire wear is vehicle’s toe. A slight misalignment of the toe reduces the life of the tire.

Since it is given that camber settings and toe settings are within specification therefore, tire tread wear on the inside edge cannot happen if camber and toe are within specification.

Technician A cannot be right.

Effects of Caster misalignment:

Whenever there is a misalignment of the castor then the vehicle will not be able to go in straight line rather it will pull to either left or right side. Caster misalignment also causes heavy or light steering depending upon the positive or negative misalignment of caster.

Since it is given that caster settings are not within specification therefore, the vehicle may pull to the left due to the caster misalignment.

Technician B must be right.

A ramp from an expressway with a design speed of 30 mi/h connects with a local road, forming a T intersection. An additional lan
hram777 [196]

Answer:

the width of the turning roadway = 15 ft

Explanation:

Given that:

A ramp from an expressway with a design speed(u) =  30 mi/h connects with a local road

Using 0.08 for superelevation(e)

The minimum radius of the curve on the road can be determined by using the expression:

R = \dfrac{u^2}{15(e+f_s)}

where;

R= radius

f_s = coefficient of friction

From the tables of coefficient of friction for a design speed at 30 mi/h ;

f_s = 0.20

So;

R = \dfrac{30^2}{15(0.08+0.20)}

R = \dfrac{900}{15(0.28)}

R = \dfrac{900}{4.2}

R = 214.29 ft

R ≅ 215 ft

However; given that :

The turning roadway has stabilized shoulders on both sides and will provide for a onelane, one-way operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle.

From the tables of "Design widths of pavement for turning roads"

For a One-way operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle; this criteria falls under Case 1 operation

Similarly; we are told that the design vehicle is a single-unit truck; so therefore , it falls under traffic condition B.

As such in Case 1 operation that falls under traffic condition B  in accordance with the Design widths of pavement for turning roads;

If the radius = 215 ft; the value for the width of the turning roadway for this conditions = 15ft

Hence; the width of the turning roadway = 15 ft
