A program is seeded with 30 faults. During testing, 21 faults are detected, 15 of which are seeded faults and 6 of which are ind
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Estimated number of indigenous faults remaining undetected is 6

Explanation:

The maximum likelihood estimate of indigenous faults is given by,

N_F=n_F\times \frac{N_S}{n_S} here,

n_F = the number of unseeded faults = 6

N_S = number of seeded faults = 30

n_s = number of seeded faults found = 15

So NF will be calculated as,

N_F=6\times \frac{30}{15}=12

And the estimate of faults remaining is  N_F-n_F = 12 - 6 = 6

A smooth sphere with a diameter of 6 inches and a density of 493 lbm/ft^3 falls at terminal speed through sea water (S.G.=1.0027
Pachacha [2.7K]

Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = \frac{d}{2} = 3 inches

density,  \rho} = 493 lbm/ ft^{3}

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ m^{2} = 386.22 inch/ s^{2}

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2V\rho  g}{A \rho C_{d}}}              (1)

(Since, m = V\times \rho)

where,

V = volume of sphere

C_{d} = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = 4\pi r^{2}

Volume of sphere, V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho  g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}  

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

v_{T} = \frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}} inch/sec

Problem 34.3 The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E
Natasha2012 [34]

The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

A) P = 65.11 KN

B) Q = 30 KN

Explanation:

We are given;

The end reaction of the beam; F = 100KN

Coefficient of static friction between two steel surfaces;μ_ss = 0.3

Coefficient of static friction between steel and concrete;μ_sc = 0.6

So, F1 = μ_ss•F =0.3 x 100 = 30 KN

F2 = μ_ss•N_EF = 0.3N_EF

From the screen shot, we see that the angle is 12°

Sum of forces in the Y-direction gives;

F2•sin12 - N_EF•cos12 + 100 = 0

Rearranging gives;

N_EF•cos12 - F2•sin12 = 100

Let's put 0.3N_EF for F2 to give;

N_EF•cos12 - 0.3N_EF•sin12 = 100

Thus;

N_EF(0.9158) - 0.1247 = 100

N_EF(0.9781) = 100 + 0.1247

N_EF = 100.1247/0.9158

N_EF = 109.33 KN

Thus, F2 = 0.3N_EF = 0.3 x 109.33 = 32.8 KN

Wedge will move if;

P = (F1 + F2cos12 + N_EFsin12)

Thus;

P = 10 + (32.8 x 0.9781) + (109.33 x 0.2079)

P ≥ 65.11 KN

B) For static equilibrium, Q = F1

Thus, Q = 30 KN
