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.

Additional comment

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.

For RTK to work, what do we need besides two or more receivers collecting data from a sufficient number of satellites simultaneo

Liula [17]

Answer:

phase measurement and the information content

Explanation:

The full form of RTK is Real Time Kinematic. It is used for satellite navigation technique to increase the precision of the position data that is derived from the positioning systems based on satellites like the NavIC, GPS, Galileo, BeiDou and GLONASS. It takes help of the measurements of phase of signal's carrier wave and also the information content of these signals and it also relies on the single interpolated virtual station in order to provide the real time corrections and provide correct and accurate information.

A thick aluminum block initially at 26.5°C is subjected to constant heat flux of 4000 W/m2 by an electric resistance heater whos

Yanka [14]

Given Information:

Initial temperature of aluminum block = 26.5°C

Heat flux = 4000 w/m²

Time = 2112 seconds

Time = 30 minutes = 30*60 = 1800 seconds

Required Information:

Rise in surface temperature = ?

Answer:

Rise in surface temperature = 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds

Rise in surface temperature = 8 °C after 30 minutes

Explanation:

The surface temperature of the aluminum block is given by

$T_{surface} = T_{initial} + \frac{q}{k} \sqrt{\frac{4\alpha t}{\pi} }$

Where q is the heat flux supplied to aluminum block, k is the conductivity of pure aluminum and α is the diffusivity of pure aluminum.

After t = 2112 sec:

$T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (2112)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.51098)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 8.6\\\\T_{surface} = 35.1\\\\$

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 35.1 - 26.5 = 8.6 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds.

After t = 30 mins:

$T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (1800)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.4717)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 7.96\\\\T_{surface} = 34.5\\\\$

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 34.5 - 26.5 = 8 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8 °C after 30 minutes.
