The windmill was a power source used during the Middle Ages to supply power to churches, homes, outside stores, and many more. Hopefully this helped :) have a wonderful day!!

The density of a certain type of steel is 8.1 g/cm3. What is the mass of a 100 cm3 chunk of this steel

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

810 g

Explanation:

Mass is the product of density and volume:

m = ρV

m = (8.1 g/cm³)(100 cm³) = 810 g

The mass of the chunk is 810 grams.

A heat engine receives heat from a heat source at 1453 C and has a thermal efficiency of 43 percent. The heat engine does maximu

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a) 1253 kJ

b) 714 kJ

c) 946 C

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency is given by this equation

η = L/Q1

Where

η: thermal efficiency

L: useful work

Q1: heat taken from the heat source

Rearranging:

Q1 = L/η

Replacing

Q1 = 539 / 0.43 = 1253 kJ

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Q = L + ΔU

For a machine working in cycles ΔU is zero between homologous parts of the cycle.

Also we must remember that we count heat entering the system as positiv and heat leaving as negative.

We split the heat on the part that enters and the part that leaves.

Q1 + Q2 = L + 0

Q2 = L - Q1

Q2 = 539 - 1253 = -714 kJ

TO calculate a temperature for the heat sink we must consider this cycle as a Carnot cycle. Then we can use the thermal efficiency equation for the Carnot cycle, this one uses temperatures:

η = 1 - T2/T1

T2/T1 = 1 - η

T2 = (1 - η) * T1

The temperatures must be given in absolute scale (1453 C = 1180 K)

T2 = (1 - 0.43) * 1180 = 673 K

673 K = 946 C

A biotechnology company produced 225 doses of somatropin, including 11 which were defective. Quality control test 15 samples at

Radda [10]

Answer:

0.59

Explanation:

The batch is rejected if any of the random samples are found defective, or, what is the same, it will be accepted only if all 15 samples are good.

The probability that none be defective is the same probability that all the samples are good. Thus, start to calculate the probability that the batch is accepted.

The probability that the first sample is good is 214 /225, because there are 225 - 11 = 214 good samples in 225 doses.

The probability that the second samples is good too is 213/224, because there is 1 less good sample, in the 224 remaining samples.

By the same process, you conclude that the consecutive probabilities of selecting a good sample are: 212/223, 211/222, 210/221, . . . up to 199/211.

The joint probability of all the samples are good is the product of each probability:

$\frac{214}{225}\cdot\frac{213}{224}\cdot\frac{212}{223}\cdot\frac{211}{222}\cdot\frac{210}{221}\cdot\frac{209}{220}\cdot\frac{208}{219}\cdot\frac{207}{218}\cdot\frac{206}{217}\cdot\frac{205}{216}\cdot\frac{204}{215}\cdot\frac{203}{214}\cdot\frac{202}{213}\cdot\frac{201}{212}\cdot\frac{200}{211}\cdot\frac{199}{210}$

The result is: 0.41278 ≈ 0.41

The conclusion is that the probability that all the samples are good and the batch is accepted is 0.41.

Therefore, the probability that the batch is rejected is 1 - 0.41 = 0.59.

At an axial load of 22 kN, a 15-mm-thick × 40-mm-wide polyimide polymer bar elongates 4.1 mm while the bar width contracts 0.15

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Explanation:

The Poisson's ratio is got by using the formula

Lateral strain / longitudinal strain

Lateral strain = elongation / original width (since we are given the change in width as a result of compession)

Lateral strain = 0.15mm / 40 mm =0.00375

Please note that strain is a dimensionless quantity, hence it has no unit.

The Longitudinal strain is the ratio of the elongation to the original length in the longitudinal direction.

Longitudinal strain = 4.1 mm / 270 mm = 0.015185

Hence, the Poisson's ratio of the bar is 0.00375/0.015185 = 0.247

The Poisson's Ratio of the bar is 0.247

Please note also that this quantity also does not have a dimension
