Engineering
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. Clepsydra

2. Barometer

3. Chronometer

4. Se*tant

Explanation:

1. A clepsydra is a device that measures time by using a regulated fluid flow. It looks like a hour glass.

2. A barometer is a device that measures pressure. The level of liquid inside of its tubes changes with the atmospheric pressure change.

3. A chronometer is used to determine a position while knowing latitude, longitude, and altitude.

4. A se*tant has an arc of a circle and a movable arm pivoted at the center of the circle. It is used to view the horizon and also celestial bodies.

The wheel and the attached reel have a combined weight of 50lb and a radius of gyration about their center of 6 A k in = . If pu
marishachu [46]

The complete question is;

The wheel and the attached reel have a combined weight of 50 lb and a radius of gyration about their center of ka = 6 in. If pulley B that is attached to the motor is subjected to a torque of M = 50 lb.ft, determine the velocity of the 200lb crate after the pulley has turned 5 revolutions. Neglect the mass of the pulley.

The image of this system is attached.

Answer:

Velocity = 11.8 ft/s

Explanation:

Since the wheel at A rotates about a fixed axis, then;

v_c = ω•r_c

r_c is 4.5 in. Let's convert it to ft.

So, r_c = 4.5/12 ft = 0.375 ft

Thus;

v_c = 0.375ω

Now the mass moment of inertia about of wheel A about it's mass centre is given as;

I_a = m•(k_a)²

The mass in in lb, so let's convert to slug. So, m = 50/32.2 slug = 1.5528 slug

Also, let's convert ka from inches to ft.

So, ka = 6/12 = 0.5

So,I_a = 1.5528 × 0.5²

I_a = 0.388 slug.ft²

The kinetic energy of the system would be;

T = Ta + Tc

Where; Ta = ½•I_a•ω²

And Tc = ½•m_c•(v_c)²

So, T = ½•I_a•ω² + ½•m_c•(v_c)²

Now, m_c is given as 200 lb.

Converting to slug, we have;

m_c = (200/32.2) slugs

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

T = (½•0.388•ω²) + (½•(200/32.2)•(0.375ω)²)

This now gives;

T = 0.6307 ω²

The system is initially at rest at T1 = 0.

Resolving forces at A, we have; Ax, Ay and Wa. These 3 forces do no work.

Whereas at B, M does positive work and at C, W_c does negative work.

When pulley B rotates, it has an angle of; θ_b = 5 revs × 2π rad/revs = 10π

While the wheel rotates through an angle of;θ_a = (rb/ra) • θ_b

Where, rb = 3 in = 3/12 ft = 0.25 ft

ra = 7.5 in = 7.5/12 ft = 0.625 ft

So, θ_a = (0.25/0.625) × 10π

θ_a = 4π

Thus, we can say that the crate will have am upward displacement through a distance;

s_c = r_c × θ_a = 0.375 × 4π

s_c = 1.5π ft

So, the work done by M is;

U_m = M × θ_b

U_m = 50lb × 10π

U_m = 500π

Also,the work done by W_c is;

U_Wc = -W_c × s_c = -200lb × 1.5π

U_Wc = -300π

From principle of work and energy;

T1 + (U_m + U_Wc) = T

Since T1 is zero as stated earlier,

Thus ;

0 + 500π - 300π = 0.6307 ω²

0.6307ω² = 200π

ω² = 200π/0.6307

ω² = 996.224

ω = √996.224

ω = 31.56 rad/s

We earlier derived that;v_c = 0.375ω

Thus; v_c = 0.375 × 31.56

v_c = 11.8 ft/s

Given below are the measured streamflows in cfs from a storm of 6-hour duration on a stream having a drainage area of 185 mi^2.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

33.56 ft^3/sec.in

Explanation:

Duration = 6 hours

drainage area = 185 mi^2

constant baseflow = 550 cfs

<u>Derive the unit hydrograph using the inverse procedure </u>

first step : calculate for the volume of direct runoff hydrograph using the details in table 2 attached below

Vdrh = sum of drh *  duration

        = 29700 * 6 hours ( 216000 secs )

        = 641,520,000 ft^3.

next step : Calculate the volume of runoff in equivalent depth

Vdrh / Area = 641,520,000  / 185 mi^2

                    = 1.49 in

Finally derive the unit hydrograph

Unit of hydrograph = drh /  volume of runoff in equivalent depth

                                = 50 ft^3 / 1.49 in  =  33.56 ft^3/sec.in

Many farms and ranches use electric fences to keep animals from getting into or out of specific pastures. When switched on, an e
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

The best material to use when creating an electric fence would be Aluminum. Aluminum wiring is incredibly durable and can be easily obtained. Since aluminum is a non-magnetic metal its conducting capabilities far exceed other metallic options in the market and is also why companies choose aluminum for their high tension cable wiring. Aside from being more expensive than other feasible options its durability and conducting capabilities make it easily the best option.
