Answer:
Option A
The cost of keeping the semiconductor below the critical temperature is unreasonable
Explanation:
First of all, we need to understand what superconductors are. Superconductors are special materials that conduct electrical current with almost zero resistance. This means that there is little or no need for a voltage source to be connected to them. As a matter of fact, once a superconductor is connected to a power supply, one can remove the power supply and the current will still flow.
However, most superconducts can only conduct at very low temperatures up to -200 degrees Celcius. This is because, at that temperature, their atoms and molecules are relatively settled, hence they pose little or no resistance to the flow of current.
This as you can guess is extremely difficult to do, as you will need a lot of effort to cool it to that temperature and maintain it.
This makes option a the answer:
The cost of keeping the semiconductor below the critical temperature is unreasonable.
Answer:
the critical flaw is subject to detection since this value of ac (16.8 mm) is greater than the 3.0 mm resolution limit.
Explanation:
This problem asks that we determine whether or not a critical flaw in a wide plate is subject to detection given the limit of the flaw detection apparatus (3.0 mm), the value of KIc (98.9 MPa m), the design stress (sy/2 in which s y = 860 MPa), and Y = 1.0.

Therefore, the critical flaw is subject to detection since this value of ac (16.8 mm) is greater than the 3.0 mm resolution limit.
The plane is not accelerating.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Part d)

Explanation:
Part a)
While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

for uniform cylinder we will have

so we have


now we have




now we have


Part b)
speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics
so we have



Part c)
now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation



Part d)
as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards
so here we can use force balance
