Advantage of a sheave wheel in a shaft headgear​

Engineering
1 answer:
NikAS [45]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

sorry if wrong

Explanation:

One sheave means that you are using a single drum winder. They are the worst! Double drum winders control easier, brake better and are much more efficient. They save time ( two skips or cages) and can be clutched to perform faster shift transport. A single drum is slow, unbalanced and can be a nightmare if it trips out during hoisting. If the brake system is not perfect it can be a real hairy experience. For a runaway single drum, there is no counterbalance effect. It always runs to destruction. With a double drum, the driver still has a chance to control the winder to a certain extent and he has two sets of brakes to rely on. A single sheave could also mean a shaft with a single compartment. No second means of escape unless there are ladders or stairways. Not a very healthy situation.

Those are just a few points. I am sure much more can be said in favor of a double drum winder and two or more sheaves in the headgear. Most of the shafts I have worked at have multiple winders and up to ten compartments. They all have a small single drum service winder for emergencies and moves of personnel during shift times. They are referred to as the Mary - Annes. Apparently, the name originated in the U.K. where an aristocratic mine owner named the first such winder after his mistress.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

24.72 kwh

Explanation:

Electric energy=potential energy=mgz where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and z is the elevation.

Substituting the given values while taking g as 9.81 and dividing by 3600 to convert to per hour we obtain

PE=(108*9.81*84)/3600=24.72 kWh

weight of 1000 pounds is suspended from two cables. The allowable stress in the cables is 1500 psi. Find the minimum diameter fo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

The minimum diameter for each cable should be 0.65 inches.

Explanation:

Since, the load is supported by two ropes and the allowable stress in each rope is 1500 psi. Therefore,

(1/2)(Weight/Cross Sectional Area) = Allowable Stress

Here,

Weight = 1000 lb

Cross-sectional area = πr²

where, r = minimum radius for each cable

(1/2)(1000 lb/πr²) = 1500 psi

500 lb/1500π psi = r²

r = √1.061 in²

r = 0.325 in

Now, for diameter:

Diameter = 2(radius) = 2r

Diameter = 2(0.325 in)

<u>Diameter = 0.65 in</u>

Getting the bottom of your feet burned when walking on hot sand is due to what form of energy transmission? group of answer choi
Scilla [17]

Getting the bottom of your feet burned when walking on hot sand is due to a form of energy transmission known as conduction.

<h3>The types of energy transmission.</h3>

In Science, there are three (3) main types of energy transmission and these include the following:

  • Convection
  • Radiation
  • Conduction

In this scenario, we can infer and logically conclude that burning the bottom of your feet when walking on hot sand is primarily due to a form of energy transmission known as conduction because it involves the transfer of thermal energy (heat) due to the movement of particles.

Explanation:

The modern English alphabet is a Latin alphabet consisting of 26 letters, each having an upper- and lower-case form. It originated around the 7th century from Latin script. Since then, letters have been added or removed to give the current Modern English alphabet of 26 letters with no diacritics, diagraphs, and special characters. The word alphabet is a compound of the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha and beta.
