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

A standard penetration test has been conducted on a coarse sand at a depth of 16 ft below the ground surface. The blow counts ob
scoray [572]

Solution :

Given :

The number of blows is given as :

0 - 6 inch = 4 blows

6 - 12 inch = 6 blows

12 - 18 inch = 6 blows

The vertical effective stress $=1500 \ lb/ft^2$

                                              $= 71.82 \ kN/m^2$

                                             $ \sim 72 \ kN/m^2 $

Now,

$N_1=N_0 \left(\frac{350}{\bar{\sigma}+70} \right)$

$N_1 = $ corrected N - value of overburden

$\bar{\sigma}=$ effective stress at level of test

0 - 6 inch, $N_1=4 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right)$

                      = 9.86

6 - 12 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                        = 14.8

12 - 18 inch, $N_1=6 \left(\frac{350}{72+70} \right) $

                         = 14.8

$N_{avg}=\frac{9.86+14.8+14.8}{3}$

       = 13.14

       = 13

What does this middle button on the middle of my Chevrolet equinox steering wheel mean?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Depending on how new your vehicle is, to me it looks like some sort of turn on button for forward collision safety feature, but i'm not an expert with this particular vehicle. If you want a better answer, I strongly suggest looking at the owner's manual under which should be located in the front dash compartment on the passengers side. Once you have the manual, look in the appendix until you find controls (or something similar) then go to that page and read about your vehicles control buttons. Your answer should be in the manual.

Something that all automobile owners should do right after purchasing a new vehicle, is reading the owners manual. As boring as it may seem, reading the owner's manual will help you get used to your new car quicker and give you instructions on how to take care of your car so that it lasts.

Have a great day, and I wish you safe traveling for now and forever! :)

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

a)

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

b)

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

c)

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
