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.

Consider two different types of motors. Motor A has a characteristic life of 4100 hours (based on a MTTF of 4650 hours) and a sh

Daniel [21]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

For motor A

Characteristic life(r)=4100 hr

MTTF=4650 hrs

shape factor(B )=0.8

For motor B

Characteristic life(r)=336 hr

MTTF=300 hr

Shape Factor (B)=3

Reliability for 100 hours

$R_a=e^{-\left ( \frac{T-r}{n}\right )B}$

$R_a=e^{-\left ( \frac{4650-4100}{100}\right )0.8}$

$R_a=e^{-4.4}=0.01227$

For B

$R_b=e^{-\left ( \frac{300-336}{100}\right )3}$

$R_b=e^{1.08}=2.944$

B is better for 100 hours

(b)For 750 hours

$R_a=e^{-0.5866}=0.55621$

$R_b=e^{0.144}=1.154$

So here B is more Reliable.

Three groups of students are given study outlines for 6 weeks. One group studies 2 hours a night, a second group studies 1 hour

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The constant here is the study outline

Explanation:

In scientific research, the constant variable is that part/variable of the experiment that does not change or is set not to change. Examples include temperature, environment or height.

Assuming the scenery described in this question is an experiment. All the groups presented are bound by a constant during the experiment. The constant here is the study outline. The study outline provided to the students is not going to change.

NOTE: There could be confusion as regards the answer being the final exam grade but that will be the dependent variable as that will be the outcome of the experiment while the time spent to study will be the independent variable.

The two boxcars A and B have a weight of 20000lb and 30000lb respectively. If they coast freely down the incline when the brakes

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

T=5.98 kips

Explanation:

First, introduce forces, acting on both cars:

on car A there are 4 forces acting: gravity force mA*g, normal reaction force, friction force and force T- it represents the interaction between cars A and B. On car B, there are three forces acting: gravity force, normal reaction force and force T. Note, that force T is acting on both cars, but it has opposite direction. Force T, acting on car A has direction, opposite to the friction force, whether the T, acting on B, is directed backwards- in the same direction with the friction force. Note, that both cars have the same acceleration, which is directed backwards.

Once the forces were established, we can write components of the Second Newtons Law on vertical and horizontal axes, considering that horizontal axis is directed backwards- in the same direction with the acceleration:

For car A on the vertical axis the equation is: -mAg+NA=0

For car A on the horizontal axis, the equation is: Ffr-T=mAa

For car B, on the vertical axis the equation is: -mBg+NB=0

For car B, on the horizontal axis, the equation is: T=mBa

We need to solve these equations to find force T, knowing that Ffr=μmAg, where

After the transformations, the equations for acceleration and force in the coupling will be:

a=(μmAg)/(mA+mB)=6.43 ft/s2- note, that the given answer is not correct for the given numerical values;

and force T: T=μmAmBg/(mA+mB)=6.0 kips- note, that the force answer is in line with the given numerical value
