Answer:

Slopping or slanting roofs are found in houses where there are snow or rain, because it helps the water or the snow to skid down easily. It minimizes the chances of waterlogging because water cannot rest on the roof surface for long.

An engineer is working with archeologists to create a realistic Roman village in a museum. The plan for a balance in a marketpla

NeTakaya

Answer:

The minimum volume requirement for the granite stones is 1543.64 cm³

Explanation:

1 granite stone weighs 10 denarium

100 granted stones will weigh 1000 denarium

1 denarium = 3.396g

1000 denarium = 3396g.

But we're told that 20% of material is lost during the making of these stones.

This means the mass calculated represents 80% of the original mass requirement, m.

80% of m = 3396

m = 3396/0.8 = 4425 g

This mass represents the minimum mass requirement for making the stones.

To now obtain the corresponding minimum volume requirement

Density = mass/volume

Volume = mass/density = 4425/2.75 = 1543.64 cm³

Hope this helps!!!

The lift on a spinning circular cylinder in a freestream with a velocity of 30 m/s and at standard sea level conditions is 6 N/m

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The circulation around the cylinder is 0.163 $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of spinning cylinder $v = 30$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Sea level density $\rho = 1.23$ $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

Sea level span $L = 6$ $\frac{N}{m}$

Lift per unit circulation is given by,

$L = \rho v c$

Where $c =$ circulation around cylinder

$c = \frac{L}{\rho v}$

$c = \frac{6}{1.23 \times 30}$

$c = 0.163$ $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Therefore, the circulation around the cylinder is 0.163 $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

How would you expect an increase in the austenite grain size to affect the hardenability of a steel alloy? Why?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The hardenability increases with increasing austenite grain size, because the grain boundary area is decreasing. This means that the sites for the nucleation of ferrite and pearlite are being reduced in number, with the result that these transformations are slowed down, and the hardenability is therefore increased.

La probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Si se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si compraría

liq [111]

Answer:

La probabilidad pedida es $0.820196$

Explanation:

Sabemos que la probabilidad de que un nuevo producto tenga éxito es de 0.85. Sabemos también que se eligen 10 personas al azar y se les pregunta si comprarían el nuevo producto. Para responder a la pregunta, primero definiremos la siguiente variable aleatoria :

$X:$ '' Número de personas que adquirirán el nuevo producto de 10 personas a las que se les preguntó ''

Ahora bien, si suponemos que la probabilidad de que el nuevo producto tenga éxito se mantiene constante $(p=0.85)$ y además suponemos que hay independencia entre cada una de las personas al azar a las que se les preguntó ⇒ Podemos modelar a $X$ como una variable aleatoria Binomial. Esto se escribe :

$X$ ~ $Bi(n,p)$ en donde $''n''$ es el número de personas entrevistadas y $''p''$ es la probabilidad de éxito (una persona adquiriendo el producto) en cada caso.

Utilizando los datos ⇒ $X$ ~ $Bi(10,0.85)$

La función de probabilidad de la variable aleatoria binomial es :

$p_{X}(x)=P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n&x\end{array}\right)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}$ con $x=0,1,2,...,n$

Si reemplazamos los datos de la pregunta en la función de probabilidad obtenemos :

$P(X=x)=\left(\begin{array}{c}10&x\end{array}\right)(0.85)^{x}(0.15)^{10-x}$ con $x=0,1,2,...,10$

Nos piden la probabilidad de que por lo menos 8 personas adquieran el nuevo producto, esto es :

$P(X\geq 8)=P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)$

Calculando $P(X=8), P(X=9)$ y $P(X=10)$ por separado y sumando, obtenemos que $P(X\geq 8)=0.820196$
