What are the basic parts of a radio system
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Today's radio consists of an antenna, printed circuit board, resistors, capacitors, coils and transformers, transistors, integrated circuits, and a speaker. All of these parts are housed in a plastic case. An internal antenna consists of small-diameter insulated copper wire wound around a ferrite core.

A vacuum pump is used to drain a basement of 20 °C water (with a density of 998 kg/m3 ). The vapor pressure of water at this tem
lord [1]

Answer:

The maximum theoretical height that the pump can be placed above liquid level is \Delta h=9.975\,m

Explanation:

To pump the water, we need to avoid cavitation. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which liquid experiences a phase transition into the vapour phase because pressure drops below the liquid's vapour pressure at that temperature.  As a liquid is pumped upwards, it's pressure drops. to see why, let's look at Bernoulli's equation:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h +\frac{1}{2}  \Delta v^2 =0

(\rho stands here for density, h for height)

Now, we are assuming that there aren't friction losses here. If we assume further that the fluid is pumped out at a very small rate, the velocity term would be negligible, and we get:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h  =0

\Delta P= -g\, \rho\, \Delta h

This means that pressure drop is proportional to the suction lift's height.

We want the pressure drop to be small enough for the fluid's pressure to be always above vapour pressure, in the extreme the fluid's pressure will be almost equal to vapour pressure.

That means:

\Delta P = 2.34\,kPa- 100 \,kPa = -97.66 \, kPa\\

We insert that into our last equation and get:

\frac{ \Delta P}{ -g\, \rho\,}= \Delta h\\\Delta h=\frac{97.66 \, kPa}{998 kg/m^3 \, \, 9.81 m/s^2} \\\Delta h=9.975\,m

And that is the absolute highest height that the pump could bear. This, assuming that there isn't friction on the suction pipe's walls, in reality the height might be much less, depending on the system's pipes and pump.

The time delay of a long-distance call can be determined by multiplying a small fixed constant by the number of communication li
aliina [53]

Answer:

We can compute the diameter of the tree T by a pruning procedure, starting at the leaves (external nodes).

  • Remove all leaves of T. Let the remaining tree be T1.
  • Remove all leaves of T1. Let the remaining tree be T2.
  • Repeat the "remove" operation as follows: Remove all leaves of Ti. Let remaining tree be Ti+1.
  • When the remaining tree has only one node or two nodes, stop! Suppose now the remaining tree is Tk.
  • If Tk has only one node, that is the center of T. The diameter of T is 2k.
  • If Tk has two nodes, either can be the center of T. The diameter of T is 2k+1.
