If a hoist lifts a 4500lb load 30ft in 15s, the power delivered to the load is a) 18.00hp b) 9000hp c) 16.36hp d) None of the ab
12345 [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

load = 4500lb                   lift height= 30 ft

time =15 s

velocity=\frac{30}{15} ft/s

velocity=2 ft/s

power = force\times velocity

power={4500}\times2

power= 9000 lb ft/s

1 hp= 550 lb ft/s

power= \frac{9000}{550} =16.36 hp

Briefly explain how each of the following influences the tensile modulus of a semicrystalline polymer and why:(a) molecular weig
marin [14]

Answer:

(a) Increases

(b) Increases

(c) Increases

(d) Increases

(e) Decreases

Explanation:

The tensile modulus of a semi-crystalline polymer depends on the given factors as:

(a) Molecular Weight:

It increases with the increase in the molecular weight of the polymer.

(b) Degree of crystallinity:

Tensile strength of the semi-crystalline polymer increases with the increase in the degree of crystallinity of the polymer.

(c) Deformation by drawing:

The deformation by drawing in the polymer results in the finely oriented chain structure of the polymer with the greater inter chain secondary bonding structure resulting in the increase in the tensile strength of the polymer.

(d) Annealing of an undeformed material:

This also results in an increase in the tensile strength of the material.

(e) Annealing of  a drawn material:

A semi crystalline material which is drawn when annealed results in the decreased tensile strength of the material.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:  a) The technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of power using pressurized fluids

Explanation: Fluid power is defined as the fluids which are under pressure and then are used for generation,control and transmit the power. Fluid power systems produces high forces as well as power in small amount . These systems usually tend to have better life if maintained properly. The force that are applied on this system can be monitored by gauges as well as meter.
