Taya2010 [7]2 years ago

Answer:

  d. 2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)

Explanation:

The calculator's 1/x key makes it convenient to calculate parallel resistance.

  Req = 1/(1/4 +1/8 +1/16) = 1/(7/16) = 16/7 ≈ 2.3 ohms

This corresponds to answer choice D.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

This problem statement does not tell the applied voltage. The answer choices suggest that it is 12 V. If so, the current is 12/(16/7) = 21/4 = 5.25 amperes.

An 80-percent-efficient pump with a power input of 20 hp is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at a rate of 1.5 ft3/s th
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping is 2.37 hp

Explanation:

given data

efficient pump = 80%

power input = 20 hp

rate = 1.5 ft³/s

free surface = 80 ft

solution

we use mechanical pumping power delivered to water is

{W_{u}}= \eta  {W_{pump}}  .............1

put here value

{W_{u}}  = (0.80)(20)

{W_{u}} = 16 hp

and

now we get change in the total mechanical energy of water is equal to the change in its potential energy

\Delta{E_{mech}} = {m} \Delta pe   ..............2

\Delta {E_{mech}} = {m} g \Delta z  

and that can be express as

\Delta {E_{mech}} = \rho Q g \Delta z     ..................3

so

\Delta {E_{mech}} = (62.4lbm/ft^3)(1.5ft^3/s)(32.2ft/s^2)(80ft)[\frac{1lbf}{32.2lbm\cdot ft/s^2}][\frac{1hp}{550lbf \cdot ft/s}]      ......4

solve it we get

\Delta {E_{mech}} = 13.614 hp

so here

due to frictional effects, mechanical power lost in piping

we get here

{W_{frict}} = {W_{u}}-\Delta {E_{mech}}  

put here value

{W_{frict}} = 16 -13.614

{W_{frict}} = 2.37  hp

so mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping is 2.37 hp

Water flows around a 6-ft diameter bridge pier with a velocity of 12 ft/s. Estimate the force (per unit length) that the water e
jolli1 [7]

Answer: hello the diagram related to your question is missing please the third image is the missing part of the question

Fx = 977.76 Ib/ft

Explanation:

<u>Estimate the force that water exerts on the pier </u>

V = 12 ft/s

D( diameter ) = 6 ft

first express the force  on the first half of the cylinder  as

Fx1 =  - -2\int\limits^\pi _\frac{\pi }{2}   {Ps*cos\beta *a} \, d\beta   ---------------- ( 1 )

where ; Fy = 0

Ps = Po + 1/2 Pv^2 ( 1 - 4 sin^2β )  ------------- ( 2 )

Input equation (2)  into equation ( 1 )         (note :  assuming Po = 0 )

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

Consider a single crystal of nickel oriented such that a tensile stress is applied along a [001] direction. If slip occurs on a
Elena L [17]

Answer:

\mathbf{\tau_c =5.675 \ MPa}

Explanation:

Given that:

The direction of the applied tensile stress =[001]

direction of the slip plane = [\bar 101]

normal to the slip plane = [111]

Now, the first thing to do is to calculate the angle between the tensile stress and the slip by using the formula:

cos \lambda = \Big [\dfrac{d_1d_2+e_1e_2+f_1f_2}{\sqrt{(d_1^2+e_1^2+f_1^2)+(d_2^2+e_2^2+f_2^2) }} \Big]

where;

[d_1\ e_1 \ f_1] = directional indices for tensile stress

[d_2 \ e_2 \ f_2] = slip direction

replacing their values;

i.e d_1 = 0 ,e_1 = 0 f_1 =  1 & d_2 = -1 , e_2 = 0 , f_2 = 1

cos \lambda = \Big [\dfrac{(0\times -1)+(0\times 0) + (1\times 1) }{\sqrt{(0^2+0^2+1^2)+((-1)^2+0^2+1^2) }} \Big]

cos \ \lambda = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Also, to find the angle \phi between the stress [001] & normal slip plane [111]

Then;

cos \  \phi = \Big [\dfrac{d_1d_3+e_1e_3+f_1f_3}{\sqrt{(d_1^2+e_1^2+f_1^2)+(d_3^2+e_3^2+f_3^2) }} \Big]

replacing their values;

i.e d_1 = 0 ,e_1 = 0 f_1 =  1 & d_3 = 1 , e_3 = 1 , f_3 = 1

cos \  \phi= \Big [ \dfrac{ (0 \times 1)+(0 \times 1)+(1 \times 1)} {\sqrt {(0^2+0^2+1^2)+(1^2+1^2 +1^2)} } \Big]

cos \phi= \dfrac{1} {\sqrt{3} }

However, the critical resolved SS(shear stress) \mathbf{\tau_c} can be computed using the formula:

\tau_c = (\sigma )(cos  \phi )(cos \lambda)

where;

applied tensile stress \sigma = 13.9 MPa

∴

\tau_c =13.9\times (  \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} )( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}})

\mathbf{\tau_c =5.675 \ MPa}

Saturated water vapor undergoes a throttling process from 1bar to a 0.35bar. What is the change in temperature for this process?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

-25.63°C.

Explanation:

We know that throttling is a constant enthalpy process

      h_1=h_2

From steal table

We know that if we know only one property in side the dome then we will find the other property by using steam property table.

  Temperature at saturation pressure 1 bar is 99.63°C and  Temperature at saturation pressure 0.35 bar is about 74°C .

So from above we can say that change in temperature is -25.63°C.

But there is no any option for that .
