Why is California a good place for engineers to build suspension bridges?

In a paragraph of 125 words, explain at least three ways that engineers explore possible solutions in their

joja [24]

Answer:

Three ways that engineers explore possible solutions in their projects are;

1) Prototyping

2) Simulation

3) Calculations

Explanation:

1) Prototyping is the process of experimental testing of samples of design, or model of a product with the possibility of the inclusion of control of parameters in order to determine the workability of a solution.

2) Simulation is the process of creating an imitation of a situation, operation or process which can be used to determine if a particular solution will be able to work as required in the simulated environment of a problem.

3) Calculations are used to find preliminary results of particular situations, their cause and effects based on scientific laws, theories and hypothesis such that the factor of the problem is equated with the available ideas to find the best possible solution.

What is the weight density of a 2.24 in diameter titanium sphere that weights 0.82 lb?

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$0.14\ lb/in^{3}$

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass ler unit volume, expressed as

$\rho=\frac {m}{v}$

Where m is mass, $\rho$ is density and v is the volume. For a sphere, volume is given as

$v=\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}$

Replacing this into the formula of density then

$\rho=\frac {m}{\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}}$

Given diameter of 2.24 in then the radius is 1.12 in. Substituting 0.82 lb for m then

$\rho=\frac {0.82}{\frac {4\pi 1.12^{3}}{3}}=0.13932044952427\approx 0.14 lb/in^{3}$

Consider the expansion of a gas at a constant temperature in a water-cooled piston-cylinder system. The constant temperature is

Leona [35]

Answer:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

Explanation:

According to the first thermodynamic law, the energy must be conserved so:

$dQ = dU - dW$

Where Q is the heat transmitted to the system, U is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system.

This equation can be solved by integration between an initial and a final state:

(1) $\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU - \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dW$

As per work definition:

$dW = F*dr$

For pressure the force F equials the pressure multiplied by the area of the piston, and considering dx as the displacement:

$dW = PA*dx$

Here A*dx equals the differential volume of the piston, and considering that any increment in volume is a work done by the system, the sign is negative, so:

$dW = - P*dV$

So the third integral in equation (1) is:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV$

Considering the gas as ideal, the pressure can be calculated as $P = \frac{n*R*T}{V}$ , so:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV = \int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV$

In this particular case as the systems is closed and the temperature constant, n, R and T are constants:

$\int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV = -nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

Replacion this and solving equation (1) between state 1 and 2:

$\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU + nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT(ln V_{2} - ln V_{1})$

$Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT ln \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$

The internal energy depends only on the temperature of the gas, so there is no internal energy change $U_{2} - U_{1} = 0$ , so the heat exchanged to the system equals the work done by the system:

$Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$
