Answer:

Fire extinguishers controls the amount of pollution caused by smoke and burning. Although they have no expiring date, they won't last forever. Extinguishers should work for 5 to 15 years, but fire extinguishers be routinely maintained to make sure they remain effective.

A certain printer requires that all of the following conditions be satisfied before it will send a HIGH to la microprocessor ack

Elza [17]

Answer:

D) AND gate.

Explanation:

Given that:

A certain printer requires that all of the following conditions be satisfied before it will send a HIGH to la microprocessor acknowledging that it is ready to print

These conditions are:

1. The printer's electronic circuits must be energized.

2. Paper must be loaded and ready to advance.

3. The printer must be "on line" with the microprocessor.

Now; if these conditions are met the logic gate produces a HIGH output indicating readiness to print.

The objective here is to determine the basic logic gate used in this circuit.

Now;

For NOR gate;

NOR gate gives HIGH only when all the inputs are low. but the question states it that "a HIGH is generated and applied to a 3-input logic gate". This already falsify NOR gate to be the right answer.

For NOT gate.

NOT gate operates with only one input and one output device but here; we are dealing with 3-input logic gate.

Similarly, OR gate gives output as a high if any one of the input signals is high but we need "a HIGH that is generated and applied to a 3-input logic gate".

Finally, AND gate output is HIGH only when all the input signal is HIGH and vice versa, i.e AND gate output is LOW only when all the input signal is LOW. So AND gate satisfies the given criteria that; all the three conditions must be true for the final signal to be HIGH.

Consider casting a concrete driveway 40 feet long, 12 feet wide and 6 in. thick. The proportions of the mix by weight are given

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Weight of cement = 10968 lb

Weight of sand = 18105.9 lb

Weight of gravel = 28203.55 lb

Weight of water = 5484 lb

Explanation:

Given:

Entrained air = 7.5%

Length, L = 40 ft

Width,w = 12 ft

thickness,b= 6 inch, convert to ft = 6/12 = 0.5 ft

Specific gravity of sand = 2.60

Specific gravity of gravel = 2.70

The volume will be:

40 * 12 * 0.5 = 240 ft³

We need to find the dry volume of concrete.

Dry volume = wet volume * 1.54 (concrete)

Dry volume will be = 240 * 1.54 = 360ft³

Due to the 7% entarained air content, the required volume will be:

V = 360 * (1 - 0.07)

V = 334.8 ft³

At a ratio of 1:2:3 for cement, sand, and gravel respectively, we have:

Total of ratio = 1+2+3 = 6

Their respective volume will be =

Volume of cement = $\frac{1}{6}*334.8 = 55.8 ft^3$

Volume of sand = $\frac{2}{6}*334.8 = 111.6 ft^3$

Volume of gravel = $\frac{3}{6}*334.8 = 167.4 ft^3$

To find the pounds needed the driveway, we have:

Weight = volume *specific gravity * density of water

Specific gravity of cement = 3.15

Weight of cement =

55.8 * 3.15 * 62.4 = 10968 pounds

Weight of sand =

111.6 * 2.60 * 62.4 = 18105.9 lb

Weight of gravel =

167.4 * 2.7 * 62.4 = 28203.55 lb

Given water to cement ratio of 0.50

Weight of water = 0.5 of weight of cement

= 1/2 * 10968 = 5484 lb

A silicon carbide plate fractured in bending when a blunt load was applied to the plate center. The distance between the fractur

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing values below are the missing values

Mirror Radius (mm) Bending Failure Stress (MPa)

.603 225

.203 368

.162 442

answer : 191 mPa

Explanation:

Determine the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate

Bending stress ∝ 1 / ( mirror radius )^n ------ ( 1 )

at 0.603 bending stress = 225

at 0.203 bending stress = 368

at 0.162 bending stress = 442

applying equation 1 determine the value of n for several combinations

( 225 / 368 ) = ( 0.203 / 0.603 )^n

hence : n = 0.452

also

( 368/442 ) = ( 0.162 / 0.203 ) ^n

hence : n = 0.821

also

( 225 / 442 ) = ( 0.162 / 0.603 ) ^n

hence : n = 0.514

Next determine the average value of n

n ( mean value ) = ( 0.452 + 0.821 + 0.514 ) / 3 = 0.596

Calculate estimated stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate

= bending stress at x = 0.796 / bending stress at x = 0.603

= x / 225 = ( 0.603 / 0.796 ) ^ 0.596

therefore X ( stress present at the time of fracture of original plate )

= 225 * 0.84747

= 191 mPa
