An electrical current of 700 A flows through a stainlesssteel cable having a diameter of 5 mm and an electricalresistance of 610

KatRina [158]

Answer:

778.4°C

Explanation:

I = 700

R = 6x10⁻⁴

we first calculate the rate of heat that is being transferred by the current

q = I²R

q = 700²(6x10⁻⁴)

= 490000x0.0006

= 294 W/M

we calculate the surface temperature

Ts = T∞ + $\frac{q}{h\pi Di}$

Ts = $30+\frac{294}{25*\frac{22}{7}*\frac{5}{1000} }$

$Ts=30+\frac{294}{0.3928} \\$

$Ts =30+748.4\\Ts = 778.4$

The surface temperature is therefore 778.4°C if the cable is bare

Water flows through a nozzle at the end of a fire hose. If the nozzle exit velocity must be 20 m/s and the exit diameter is 40 m

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

minimum flow rate provided by pump is 0.02513 m^3/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Exit velocity of nozzle = 20m/s

Exit diameter = 40 mm

We know that flow rate Q is given as

$Q = A \times V$

where A is Area

$A =\frac{\pi}{4} \times (40\times 10^{-3})^2 = 1.256\times 10^{-3} m^2$

$Q = 1.256\times 10^{-3} \times 20 = 0.02513 m^3/s$

minimum flow rate provided by pump is 0.02513 m^3/s

What are the four causes of electrical faults?

Arada [10]

Answer:

Electrical faults are also caused due to human errors such as selecting improper rating of equipment or devices, forgetting metallic or electrical conducting parts after servicing or maintenance, switching the circuit while it is under servicing, etc.

Shortly after the introduction of a new coin, newspapers published articles claiming the coin is biased. The stories were based

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

(a) 0.12924

(b) Taking into consideration significance level of 0.05 yet the value of p is greater than 0.05, it suggests that the coin is fair hence the coin can be used at the beginning of any sport event.

Explanation:

(a)

n=200 for fair coin getting head, p= 0.5

Expectation = np =200*0.5=100

Variance = np(1 - p) = 100(1-0.5)=100*0.5=50

Standard deviation, $s = \sqrt {variance}=\sqrt {50}= 7.071068$

Z value for 108, $z =\frac {108-100}{7.071068}= 1.131371$

P( x ≥108) = P( z >1.13)= 0.12924

(b)

Taking into consideration significance level of 0.05 yet the value of p is greater than 0.05, it suggests that the coin is fair hence the coin can be used at the beginning of any sport event.

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane-strain fracture tough

jeyben [28]

Complete question:

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 98.9 MPa root m (90 ksi root in.) and a yield strength of 860 MPa (125,000 psi). The flaw size resolution limit of the flaw detection apparatus is 3.0 mm (0.12 in.). If the design stress is one-half of the yield strength and the value of Y is 1.0, determine whether or not a critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection.

Answer:

Since the flaw 17mm is greater than 3 mm the critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection

so that critical flow is subject to detection

Explanation:

We are given:

Plane strain fracture toughness K $= 98.9 MPa \sqrt{m}$

Yield strength Y = 860 MPa

Flaw detection apparatus = 3.0mm (12in)

y = 1.0

Let's use the expression:

$oc = \frac{K}{Y \sqrt{pi * a}}$

We already know

K= design

a = length of surface creak

Since we are to find the length of surface creak, we will make "a" subject of the formula in the expression above.

Therefore

$a= \frac{1}{pi} * [\frac{k}{y*a}]^2$

Substituting figures in the expression above, we have:

$= \frac{1}{pi} * [\frac{98.9 MPa \sqrt{m}} {10 * \frac{860MPa}{2}}]^2$

= 0.0168 m

= 17mm

Therefore, since the flaw 17mm > 3 mm the critical flow is subject to detection
