Technician A says that the low level brake fluid switch on a master cylinder will turn on the brake warning light when the syste

m is low on fluid. Technician B says that the low level switch also monitors the condition of the fluid and will activate the warning light when the brake fluid needs to be replaced. Who is correct?

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

The brake fluid switch or the brake switch is a sensor provided in the master cylinder monitors the brake fluid level in the vehicle. It is found inside the brake fluid reservoir. When the brake fluid level is too low, it warns the ABS by sending a signal. This device keeps us and the vehicle safe.

Thus in the context, technician A is correct.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 ksi

(b) 0.1075 in

Explanation:

(a)

$E=\frac {\sigma}{\epsilon}$

Making $\sigma$ the subject then

$\sigma=E\epsilon$

where $\sigma$ is the stress and $\epsilon$ is the strain

Since strain is given as 0.025% of the length then strain is $\frac {0.025}{100}=0.00025$

Now substituting E for $10\times 10^{6} psi$ then

$\sigma=(10\times 10^{6} psi)\times 0.00025=2500 si= 2.5 ksi$

(b)

Stress, $\sigma= \frac {F}{A}$ making A the subject then

$A=\frac {F}{\sigma}$

$A=\frac {\pi(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})}{4}$

where d is the diameter and subscripts o and i denote outer and inner respectively.

We know that $2t=d_o - d_i$ where t is thickness

Now substituting

$\frac {\pi(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})}{4}=\frac {1600}{2500}$

$\pi(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})=\frac {1600}{2500}\times 4$

$(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})=\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4$

But the outer diameter is given as 2 in hence

$(2^{2}-d_i^{2})=\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4$

$2^{2}-(\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4)=d_i^{2}$

$d_i=\sqrt {2^{2}-(\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4)}=1.784692324 in\approx 1.785 in$

As already mentioned, $2t=d_o - d_i hence t=0.5(d_o - d_i)$

$t=0.5(2-1.785)=0.1075 in$

). A 50 mm diameter cylinder is subjected to an axial compressive load of 80 kN. The cylinder is partially

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{e'_z}{e_z} = 0.87142$

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of the cylinder, d = 50 mm.

- The compressive load, F = 80 KN.

Solution:-

- We will form a 3-dimensional coordinate system. The z-direction is along the axial load, and x-y plane is categorized by lateral direction.

- Next we will write down principal strains ( εx, εy, εz ) in all three directions in terms of corresponding stresses ( σx, σy, σz ). The stress-strain relationships will be used for anisotropic material with poisson ratio ( ν ).

εx = - [ σx - ν( σy + σz ) ] / E

εy = - [ σy - ν( σx + σz ) ] / E

εz = - [ σz - ν( σy + σx ) ] / E

- First we will investigate the "no-restraint" case. That is cylinder to expand in lateral direction as usual and contract in compressive load direction. The stresses in the x-y plane are zero because there is " no-restraint" and the lateral expansion occurs only due to compressive load in axial direction. So σy= σx = 0, the 3-D stress - strain relationships can be simplified to:

εx = [ ν*σz ] / E

εy = [ ν*σz ] / E

εz = - [ σz ] / E .... Eq 1

- The "restraint" case is a bit tricky in the sense, that first: There is a restriction in the lateral expansion. Second: The restriction is partial in nature, such, that lateral expansion is not completely restrained but reduced to half.

- We will use the strains ( simplified expressions ) evaluated in " no-restraint case " and half them. So the new lateral strains ( εx', εy' ) would be:

εx' = - [ σx' - ν( σy' + σz ) ] / E = 0.5*εx

εx' = - [ σx' - ν( σy' + σz ) ] / E = [ ν*σz ] / 2E

εy' = - [ σy' - ν( σx' + σz ) ] / E = 0.5*εy

εx' = - [ σy' - ν( σx' + σz ) ] / E = [ ν*σz ] / 2E

- Now, we need to visualize the "enclosure". We see that the entire x-y plane and family of planes parallel to ( z = 0 - plane ) are enclosed by the well-fitted casing. However, the axial direction is free! So, in other words the reduction in lateral expansion has to be compensated by the axial direction. And that compensatory effect is governed by induced compressive stresses ( σx', σy' ) by the fitting on the cylinderical surface.

- We will use the relationhsips developed above and determine the induced compressive stresses ( σx', σy' ).

Note: σx' = σy', The cylinder is radially enclosed around the entire surface.

Therefore,

- [ σx' - ν( σx'+ σz ) ] = [ ν*σz ] / 2

σx' ( 1 - v ) = [ ν*σz ] / 2

σx' = σy' = [ ν*σz ] / [ 2*( 1 - v ) ]

- Now use the induced stresses in ( x-y ) plane and determine the new axial strain ( εz' ):

εz' = - [ σz - ν( σy' + σx' ) ] / E

εz' = - { σz - [ ν^2*σz ] / [ 1 - v ] } / E

εz' = - σz*{ 1 - [ ν^2 ] / [ 1 - v ] } / E ... Eq2

- Now take the ratio of the axial strains determined in the second case ( Eq2 ) to the first case ( Eq1 ) as follows:

$\frac{e'_z}{e_z} = \frac{- \frac{s_z}{E} * [ 1 - \frac{v^2}{1 - v} ] }{-\frac{s_z}{E}} \\\\\frac{e'_z}{e_z} = [ 1 - \frac{v^2}{1 - v} ] = [ 1 - \frac{0.3^2}{1 - 0.3} ] \\\\\frac{e'_z}{e_z} = 0.87142$ ... Answer

Working with which of these systems requires a technician that has been certified in an EPA-approved course?

makvit [3.9K]

EPA Regulations provides a certified course for the technicians involved in the Air-conditioning system.

Answer: Option (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

The EPA regulation has implemented an act called the "Clean Air Act" under the "section of 609".

This act provides some basic requirements for EPA Regulation such as follows;

Refrigerant: This unit must be approved by EPA Regulations before being implemented into the atmosphere.
Servicing: This system provides a certified course for technicians in service and also approve them with proper refrigerant equipment.
Reuse Refrigerants: The use of recycled refrigerants must be properly monitored before it comes in to serve.
