Tech A says that 18 AWG wire is larger than 12 AWG wire. Tech B says that the larger the diameter of the conductor, the more ele

ctrical resistance it has. Who is correct?

Answer:

Both of them are wrong

Explanation:

The two technicians have given the wrong information about the wires.

This is because firstly, a higher rating of AWG means it is smaller in diameter. Thus, the diameter of a 18 AWG wire is smaller than that of a 12 AWG wire and that makes the assertion of the technician wrong.

Also, the higher the resistance, the smaller the cross sectional area meaning the smaller the diameter. A wire with bigger cross sectional area will have a smaller resistance

So this practically makes the second technician wrong too

Engineers are designing a cylindrical air tank and are trying to determine the dimensions of the tank. The proposed material for
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The length of tank is found to be 0.6 m or 600 mm

Explanation:

In order to determine the length, we need to find a volume for the tank.

For this purpose, we use ideal gas equation:

PV  = nRT

n = no. of moles = m/M

Therefore,

PV = (m/M)(RT)

V = (mRT)/(MP)

where,

V = volume of air = volume of container

m = mass of air = 4.64 kg

R = General Gas Constant = 8.314 J/mol.k

T = temperature of air = 10°C + 273 = 283 K

M = molecular mass of air = 0.02897 kg/mol

P = Pressure of Air = 20 MPa = 20 x 10^6 N/m²

V = (4.64 kg)(8.314 J/mol.k)(283 k)/(0.02897 kg/mol)(20 x 10^6 N/m²)

V = 0.01884 m³

Now, the volume of cylindrical tank is given as:

V = 0.01884 m³ = π(Diameter/2)²(Length)

Length = (0.01884 m³)(4)/π(0.2 m)²

<u>Length = 0.6 m = 600 mm</u>

The flexural strength or MOR of a ceramic is 310 MPa. A block of the ceramic, which is 20 mm wide, 15 mm high, and 300 mm long,
Alja [10]

Answer:

F=6200\ \text{N}\\

Explanation:

In this problem you need to define the force that acts upon a beam in a 3 point bending problem. I put a picture of the problem taken from Wikipedia:

In this problem the flexural strength is defined with the following formula:

\sigma=\cfrac{3FL}{2bd^2}

where F is the force applied, L the length between the two rods, b the width of the ceramic block and d it's height.

The force is then defined as:

F=\cfrac{2\sigma bd^2}{3L}=6200\ \text{N}

What happen to the clutch system when you step-on and releasing the clutch pedal?​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Step On: Your foot forces the clutch pedal down and then causes it to take up the slack. This, in turn, causes the clutch friction disk to slip, creating heat and ultimately wearing your clutch out.

Step Off: When the clutch pedal is released, the springs of the pressure plate push the slave cylinder's pushrod back, which forces the hydraulic fluid back into the master cylinder.

1.<br> se reception. It's<br> In remote areas, your GPS device<br> a good idea to have a _
marysya [2.9K]

GPS device  details are given below.

Explanation:

Even a simple GPS unit has a wide range of settings and features. Because every unit’s operation varies, this article won’t provide step-by-step details. Read the owner's manual to familiarize yourself with it.. If you’d like additional help, you can also sign up for a GPS navigation class at an REI store.

Though steps vary, all GPS receivers do the following basic functions:

Display position: A GPS tells you where you are by displaying your coordinates; it also shows your position on its base map or topo map.

Record tracks: When tracking is turned on, a GPS automatically lays down digital bread crumbs, called “track points,” at regular intervals. You use those later to retrace your steps or to evaluate the path you traveled.

Navigate point-to-point: A GPS directs you by giving you the direction and distance to a location, or “waypoint.” You can pre-mark waypoints by entering their coordinates at home. In the field you can have the unit mark a waypoint at a place you'd like to return to, such as the trailhead or your campsite. A GPS unit provides the bearing and distance “as the crow flies” to a waypoint. Because trails don’t follow a straight line, the bearing changes as you hike. The distance to travel also changes (decreasing, unless you’re heading the wrong direction) as you approach your goal.

Display trip data: This odometer-like function tells you cumulative stats like how far you’ve come and how high you’ve climbed.

GPS and your computer: GPS units come with a powerful software program that lets you manage maps, plan routes, analyze trips and more. Invest the time to learn it and to practice using all of its capabilities.

(D)<br> 13. Describe the differences between an impact socket and a conventional socket.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The wall of an impact socket is around 50% thicker than that of a regular socket, making it suitable for use with pneumatic impact tools, whereas regular sockets should only be used on hand tools.

Explanation:

This allows the socket to remain securely attached to the impact wrench anvil, even under high stress situations.
