Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) y (n + 1) = 1.005 y(n) + 5U n

y (n + 1) - 1.005 y(n) = 5U (n)

b) Z^-1(Z(y0)=y(n) = [1010(1.005)^n - 1000(1)^n] U(n)

c) h(n) = (1.005)^n U(n - 1) + 10(1.005)^n U(n)

Explanation:

Her bank account can be modeled as:

y (n + 1) = y (n) + 0.5% y(n) + $5

y (n + 1) = 1.005 y(n) + 5U n

Given that y (0) = $10

y (n + 1) - 1.005 y(n) = 5U (n)

Apply Z transform on both sides

= ZY ((Z) - Z(y0) - 1.005) Z = 5 U (Z)

U(Z) = Z {U(n)} = Z/ Z - 1

Y(Z) [Z- 1.005] = Z y(0) + 5Z/ Z - 1

= 10Z/ Z - 1.005 + 5Z/(Z - 1) (Z - 1.005)

Y(Z) = 10Z/ Z - 1.005 + 1000Z/ Z - 1.005 + 1000Z/ Z - 1

= 1010Z/Z- 1.005 - 1000Z/Z-1

Apply inverse Z transform

Z^-1(Z(y0)) = y(n) = [1010(1.005)^n - 1000(1)^n] U(n)

Impulse response in output when input f(n) = S(n)

That is,

y(n + 1)= 1. 005y (n) + 8n

y(n + 1) - 1.005y (n) = 8n

Apply Z transform

ZY (Z) - Z(y0) - 1.005y(Z) = 1

HZ (Z - 1.005) = 1 + 10Z [Therefore y(Z) = H(Z)]

H(Z) = 1/ Z - 1.005 + 10Z/Z - 1. 005

Apply inverse laplace transform

= h(n) = (1.005)^n U(n - 1) + 10(1.005)^n U(n)

Each of the two drums and connected hubs of 13-in. radius weighs 210 lb and has a radius of gyration about its center of 30 in. Calculate the magnitude of the angular acceleration of each drum. Friction in each bearing is negligible.

Answers

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The angular acceleration for  first drum [tex]\alpha = 0.792 rad/s^2[/tex]

The angular acceleration for the second drum is  [tex]\alpha =1.262[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         Their radius of the drum is  [tex]r = 13 in = \frac{13}{12} ft = 1.083ft[/tex] each

          The weight is  [tex]W = 210 lb[/tex]

           The mass is  [tex]M = \frac{210 lb}{32.2 ft /s^2} = 6.563\ lb s^2 ft^{-1}[/tex]

           Their radius of gyration is [tex]z=30 in= \frac{30 }{12} = 2.5 ft[/tex]

 The free body diagram of a drum and its hub and 30lb and in the case the weight is connect to the hub separately is shown on the second uploaded image

    The T in the diagram is the tension of the string

  Now taking moment about the center of the the drum P we have  

        [tex]\sum M_p = I_p \alpha[/tex]

=>    [tex]T * r = Mz^2 * \alpha[/tex]

Where r is the radius ,z is the radius of gyration about the center O  , M is the mass  of the drum including  the  hub, and [tex]\alpha[/tex]  is the angular acceleration

   Inputting

                 [tex]T * 1.083 = 6.563 * 2.5^2 \alpha[/tex]

=>                         [tex]T = 37.87\alpha[/tex]

Considering the force equilibrium in the vertical direction (Looking at the second free body diagram now  )

The first on is  

           [tex]\sum F_y = ma[/tex]

=>       [tex]30lb - T = m(r \alpha )[/tex]

Where m is the mass of  the hanging block which has a value  of

[tex]m = \frac{30lb}{32.2 ft/s^2} = 0.9317 \ lb ft^{-1} s^2[/tex]

            a  is the acceleration of the hanging block

 inputting values we have  

              [tex]30- 37.87 \alpha = 0.9317* 1.083 \alpha[/tex]

              [tex]30 = 37.87\alpha + \alpha[/tex]

              [tex]\alpha = \frac{30}{38.87 }[/tex]

                 [tex]\alpha = 0.792 rad/s^2[/tex]

So the angular acceleration for  first drum [tex]\alpha = 0.792 rad/s^2[/tex]

 The free body diagram of a drum and its hub when the only on the string is 30lb is shown on the third uploaded image  

  So here we would take the moment about  O

             [tex]\sum M_o = I_O \alpha[/tex]

So  [tex]\sum M_o = 30* 1.083[/tex]

       and  [tex]I = M z^2[/tex]

Therefore we will have

            [tex]30 * 1.083 = (Mz^2 )\alpha[/tex]

  inputting values

                       [tex]30 * 1.083 = 6.563 * 2.5^2 \alpha[/tex]

                        [tex]32.49=41.0\alpha[/tex]

                         [tex]\alpha =\frac{41}{32.49}[/tex]

                          [tex]\alpha =1.262[/tex]

So the angular acceleration for the second drum is  [tex]\alpha =1.262[/tex]

A short-circuit experiment is conducted on the high-voltage side of a 500 kVA, 2500 V/250 V, single-phase transformer in its nominal frequency. The short-circuit voltage is found as 100 V and the short-circuit current and power are 110 A and 3200 W, respectively. Find the series impedance of the transformer referred to its low voltage side.

Answers

Given Information:

Primary secondary voltage ratio = 2500/250 V

Short circuit voltage = Vsc = 100 V

Short circuit current = Isc = 110 A

Short circuit power = Psc = 3200 W

Required Information:

Series impedance = Zeq = ?

Answer:

Series impedance = 0.00264 + j0.00869 Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

Short Circuit Test:

A short circuit is performed on a transformer to find out the series parameters (Z = Req and jXeq) which in turn are used to find out the copper losses of the transformer.

The series impedance in polar form is given by

Zeq = Vsc/Isc < θ

Where θ is given by

θ = cos⁻¹(Psc/Vsc*Isc)

θ = cos⁻¹(3200/100*110)

θ = 73.08°

Therefore, series impedance in polar form is

Zeq = 100/110 < 73.08°

Zeq = 0.909 < 73.08° Ω

or in rectangular form

Zeq = 0.264 + j0.869 Ω

Where Req is the real part of Zeq  and Xeq is the imaginary part of Zeq

Req = 0.264 Ω

Xeq = j0.869 Ω

To refer the impedance of transformer to its low voltage side first find the turn ratio of the transformer.

Turn ratio = a = Vp/Vs = 2500/250 =  10

Zeq2 = Zeq/a²

Zeq2 = (0.264 + j0.869)/10²

Zeq2 = (0.264 + j0.869)/100

Zeq2 = 0.00264 + j0.00869 Ω

Therefore, Zeq2 = 0.00264 + j0.00869 Ω is the series impedance of the transformer referred to its low voltage side.

Water flows steadily through a fire hose and nozzle. The hose is 75 mm inside diameter, and the nozzle tip is 25 mm inside diameter; water gage pressure in the hose is 510 kPa, and the stream leaving the nozzle is uniform. The exit speed 32 m/s and pressure is atmospheric. Determine the force transmitted by the coupling between the nozzle and hose. (25 points)

Answers

Answer:

R = 1804 N

Explanation:

Given:-

- The density of water, ρ = 997 kg/m^3

- The inside diameter of the hose, dh = 75 mm

- The gauge pressure of water in the hose, P1 = 510 KPa

- The exit speed of the water, V2 = 32 m/s

- The inside diameter of the nozzle tip, dn = 25 mm

- The atmospheric pressure (gauge), P2 = 0 KPa ... P = 1 atm (Absolute).

Find:-

Determine the force transmitted by the coupling between the nozzle and hose.

Solution:-

- We will first develop a control surface at the hose-nozzle interface.

- Assuming steady and one dimensional flow - (x-direction).

- Since there are no fictitious unbalanced forces acting on the fluid flow due to roughness of hose any any losses of energy from the fluid are negligible.

- The use of conservation of momentum of fluid flow is valid for an isolated system, where the flow of fluid into the control volume is denoted by (-) and the flow of fluid going out of the control volume is denoted by (+):

- The principle of conservation of momentum, the pair of equal force (Newton's third law) act on the control volume at (nozzle-hose) interface:

                  R = ρ*Q*(V2 - V1) + (P2*A2 - P1*A1)

Where,        Q: Flow rate

                   V1: The velocity of fluid in hose

                   A1: Cross sectional area of the hose

                   A2: Cross sectional area of the nozzle exit

- We see that the reaction force (R) that acts on nozzle-hose interface is due to changes in dynamic and hydrostatic pressures.

- Compute the required quantities Q, A1 and A2 and V1 using the given data:

- The flow rate Q for any flow in the hose can be given, where the cross sectional area of hose (A1)is:  

              [tex]A1 =\pi\frac{d_h^2}{4} = \pi\frac{0.075^2}{4} \\\\A1 = 0.00441 m^2\\\\\\[/tex]

- The cross sectional area of the nozzle tip with diameter dn = 25 mm is:

                [tex]A2 =\pi\frac{d_n^2}{4} = \pi\frac{0.025^2}{4} \\\\A2 = 0.00049 m^2\\\\\\[/tex]

- The flow rate (Q) can now be calculated:

                 [tex]Q = A2*V2\\\\Q = (0.00049)*(32)\\\\Q = 0.01570 \frac{m^3}{s}[/tex]  

- Since, the density of the water does not vary along the direction of flow, the flow rate (Q) remains constant throughout. So from continuity equation we have:

                 [tex]Q = A2*V2 = A1*V1\\\\V1 = \frac{Q}{A1} = \frac{0.0157}{0.00441} \\\\V1 = 3.56189 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]  

- Now use the calculated quantities and compute the pair of reaction force at the nozzle-hose interface:

                 R = ρ*Q*(V2 - V1) + (P2*A2 - P1*A1)

                 R = (997)*(0.01570)*(32-3.56189) + (0 - 510*0.00441)*1000

                 R = 445.13889 - 2,249.1

                R = - 1803.961 ≈ -1,804 N

- Here the negative sign denotes the direction of in which the force (R) is exerted. Since, (-) denotes into the control volume it acts opposite to the flow of water.

The coupling between the nozzle and hose is -1.81N

This question relates to flow rate of a liquid

(a) the mixture temperature and

(b) the mixture pressure after equilibrium has been established.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The mixture temperature, T₃ is 305.31 K

(b) The mixture pressure, P₃ after establishing equilibrium  is 114.5 kPa

Explanation:

Here we have the initial conditions as

Oxygen compartment

Mass of oxygen = 7 kg

Molar mass of oxygen = 32.00 g/mol

Pressure in compartment, P₁ = 100 kPa

Temperature of oxygen, T₁ = 40 °C = ‪313.15 K

Number of moles of oxygen, n₁ is given by

[tex]Number \ of\ moles \ of \ oxygen, n_1 = \frac{Mass \ of \ oxygen}{Molar \ mass \ of \ oxygen} = \frac{7000}{32} = 218.75 \ moles[/tex]

From the universal gas equation, we have;

P·V = n·R·T

[tex]V_1 = \frac{n_1RT_1}{P_1} =\frac{218.75 \times 8.3145 \times 313.15 }{100000 } = 5.696 m^3[/tex]

For the Nitrogen compartment, we have

Mass of nitrogen = 4 kg

Molar mass of oxygen = 28.0134 g/mol

Pressure in compartment, P₂ = 150 kPa

Temperature of oxygen, T₂ = 20 °C = ‪293.15 K

Number of moles of nitrogen, n₂ is given by

[tex]Number \ of\ moles \ of \ nitrogen, n_2 = \frac{Mass \ of \ nitrogen}{Molar \ mass \ of \ nitrogen} = \frac{4000}{28.0134} = 142.79 \ moles[/tex]

From the universal gas equation, we have;

P·V = n·R·T

[tex]V_2 = \frac{n_2RT_2}{P_2} =\frac{142.79\times 8.3145 \times 293.15 }{150000 } = 2.32 m^3[/tex]

Therefore

We have for nitrogen

[tex]\frac{c_p}{c_v} = 1.4[/tex]

[tex]c_p - c_v = 296.8 J/KgK[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]Nitrogen, \ c_p = 1036 \ J/(kg \cdot K)[/tex]

[tex]Nitrogen, \ c_v = 740\ J/(kg \cdot K)[/tex]

The molar heat capacities of Nitrogen are therefore as follows;

[tex]Nitrogen, \ \tilde{c_p} = 29.134 \ kJ/(kmol \cdot K)[/tex]

[tex]Nitrogen, \ \tilde{c_v} = 20.819 \ kJ/(kmol \cdot K)[/tex]

For oxygen we have

[tex]Oxygen, \ \tilde{c_p} = 29.382 \ kJ/(kmol \cdot K)[/tex]

[tex]Nitrogen, \ \tilde{c_v} = 21.068 \ kJ/(kmol \cdot K)[/tex]

The final volume, V₃ then becomes

V₃ = V₁ + V₂ = 5.696 m³ + 2.32 m³ =  8.016 m³

(a) For adiabatic mixing of gases the final temperature of the mixture is then found as follows

Therefore before mixing

U₁ = [tex]\sum \left (n_i\tilde{c_v}_i T_i \right )[/tex] = 0.21875 × 21.068 × 313.15 + 0.14279×20.819×293.15 = 2,314.65 kJ

After mixing, we have

U₂ = [tex]T_3 \sum \left (n_i\tilde{c_v}_i \right )[/tex] = T (0.21875 × 21.068  + 0.14279×20.819) = T×7.58137001

Therefore the final temperature, T is then

[tex]T_3 = \frac{\sum \left (n_i\tilde{c_v}_i T_i \right )}{\sum \left (n_i\tilde{c_v}_i \right )} =\frac{2,314.65 }{7.58137001} =305.30761550 \ K[/tex]

The mixture temperature, T₃ = 305.31 K

(b) The mixture pressure, P₃ after equilibrium has been established is given as

[tex]P_3 = \frac{n_3 \tilde{R}T_3}{V_3}[/tex]

Where:

n₃ = n₁ + n₂ = 0.21875 + 0.14279 = 0.36154 kmol = 361.54 moles

[tex]\tilde{R}[/tex] = 8.3145 J/(gmol·K)

Therefore ,

[tex]P_3 = \frac{361.54 \times 8.3145 \times 305.31 }{8.016 } = 114,492.1766706961 Pa[/tex]

P₃ ≈ 114.5 kPa.

Answer:

time required for cooling process = 0.233 hours

Explanation:

In Transient heat conduction of a Sphere, the formula for Biot number is;

Bi = hL_c/k

Where L_c = radius/3

We are given;

Diameter = 12mm = 0.012m

Radius = 0.006m

h = 20 W/m²

k = 40 W/m·K

So L_c = 0.006m/3 = 0.002m

So,Bi = 20 x 0.002/40

Bi = 0.001

The formula for time required is given as;

t = (ρVc/hA)•In[(T_i - T_(∞))/(T - T_(∞))]

Where;

A is Area = πD²

V is volume = πD³/6

So,

t = (ρ(πD³/6)c/h(πD²))•In[(T_i - T_(∞))/(T - T_(∞))]

t = (ρDc/6h)•In[(T_i - T_(∞))/(T - T_(∞))]

We are given;

T_i = 1200K

T_(∞) = 300K

T = 450K

ρ = 7800 kg/m³

c = 600 J/kg·K

Thus, plugging in relevant values;

t = (7800 x 0.012 x 600/(6 x20) )•In[(1200 - 300)/(450 - 300)]

t = 468•In6

t = 838.54 seconds

Converting to hours,

t = 838.54/3600

t = 0.233 hours

A piston-cylinder assembly contains 2 lb of air at a temperature of 540 °R and a pressure of 1 atm. The air compressed to a state where the temperature is 840 °R and the pressure is 6 atm. During the compression, there is a heat transfer from the air to the surroundings equal to 20 Btu.
1. Using the ideal gas model for air, determine the work during the process in Btu.

Answers

Answer:

123.9 Btu

Explanation:

The energy balance on the air is:

∆E = E2 − E1 = ∆KE + ∆PE + ∆U = Q + W

ignore  ∆KE and ∆PE,

W = ∆U − Q = m(u2 − u1) − Q;                               (u2 − u1 = 51.94 Btu/lb)

ideal gas properties is attached

W = (2 lb)(143.98 − 92.04) Btu/lb − (− 20 Btu) = 123.9 Btu

u2 − u1 ≈ cv(T2 − T1) = (0.173 Btu/lb°R)(840 − 540) °R = 51.9 Btu/lb

The net work done in compressing the air as given is; W = -123.8 Btu

What is the Energy Balance equation?

The equation for Energy Balance in thermodynamics is;

Q - W = ΔU

where;

Q is

ΔU is change in the internal energy of the system

Q is the net heat transfer

W is Net work done

Now, ΔU can also be written as;

ΔU = mC_v(T₂ - T₁)

C_v for air is 0.173 Btu/bm.R

We are given;

m = 2 lb

T₁ = 540 °R

T₂ = 840 °R

Q = -20 Btu (negative because heat is transferred to the surrounding)

Thus;

ΔU = 2 * 0.173 * (840 - 540)

ΔU = 103.8 Btu

Work done during the process is;

W = Q - ΔU

W = -20 - 103.8

W = -123.8 Btu

An incandescent lightbulb is an inexpensive but highly inefficient device that converts electrical energy into light. It converts about 10 percent of the electrical energy it consumes into light while converting the remaining 90 percent into heat. The glass bulb of the lamp heats up very quickly as a result of absorbing all that heat and dissipating it to the surroundings by convection and radiation.
Consider an 8-cm-diameter 60-W lightbulb in a room at 258C. The emissivity of the glass is 0.9. Assuming that 10 percent of the energy passes through the glass bulb as light with negligible absorption and the rest of the energy is absorbed and dissipated by the bulb itself by natural convection and radiation, determine the equilibrium temperature of the glass bulb. Assume the interior surfaces of the room to be at room temperature.

Answers

Final answer:

An incandescent light bulb's equilibrium temperature is determined by considering energy conversion, dissipation processes, and emissivity of the glass.

Explanation:

An incandescent light bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat. In the given scenario, the glass bulb absorbs and dissipates heat through convection and radiation. To determine the equilibrium temperature of the glass bulb, we need to consider energy conversion and emissivity.

We know that 10% of the energy passes through the glass bulb as light while the remaining 90% is absorbed and dissipated. By calculating the energy balance and accounting for the emissivity of the glass, the equilibrium temperature of the glass bulb can be found.

Factors like the wattage of the bulb, its size, and the room temperature play a role in determining the final equilibrium temperature of the glass bulb based on the energy conversion and dissipation processes involved.

A minor road intersects a major 4-lane divided road with a design speed of 55mph and a median width of 8 feet. The intersection is controlled with a stop sign on the minor road. If the design vehicle is a passenger car, determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road that will allow a stopped vehicle on the minor road to safely turn left if the approach grade on the minor road is 3%.

Answers

Answer:

stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters

Explanation:

The Design Speed =55 MPH(Miles per Hour)

1 miles per hour =0.447 meter pe second

then 55MPH=55*0.447=24.58 meter per second

Consider recation time =2.5 second

Consider Co efficinet friction is 0.35

As per the Stopping sight distance based on the Breaking distance+ Lag distance

SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2gf))

SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*0.35))

The total stopping sight distance is =150 meters

if we consider the Approaching garde on the minor road is 3%

SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2g(f-n/100))

SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*(0.35-3/100))

then stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters

You’re engineering an energy-efficient house that will require an average of 6.85 kW to heat on cold winter days. You’ve designed a photovoltaic system for electric power, which will supply on average 2.32 kW. You propose to heat the house with an electri-cally operated groundwater-based heat pump. What should you specify as the minimum acceptable COP for the pump if the pho-tovoltaic system supplies its energy?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

For a heat pump,

COP = Q/W

Where Q = power needed for heating process

W = power input into heat pump.

Power for heating Q = 6.85 kW

Proposed power input to heat pump W = 2.32 kW

Minimum COP = 6.85/2.32 = 2.95

The function below takes a single string parameter called sentence. Your function should return True if the sentence contains at least one copy of each of the following vowels: a, e, i, o, and u. Otherwise, return False. The vowels can be either upper case or lower case.

student.py
Bef contains_all_values (sentence): 1 w

Answers

Final answer:

The question asks for a function to check if a sentence contains all five vowels at least once, regardless of case sensitivity. A solution involves creating a set of vowels and comparing it to a set of found vowels in the sentence, returning true if all vowels are present.

Explanation:

The question relates to determining whether a given sentence contains all five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) at least once, ignoring case sensitivity. This problem is typically solved using a function that iterates through each character in the sentence, checks if it is a vowel, and then keeps track of whether all vowels have been encountered. The essential steps involve converting the sentence to lowercase (to ignore case sensitivity), then checking for the presence of each vowel. A simple approach is to use a set to keep track of the vowels found, and once the set contains all five vowels, the function can return True. Otherwise, it returns False after checking the entire sentence.

An example implementation could be:

def contains_all_vowels(sentence):
   vowels = set('aeiou')
   found = set(c.lower() for c in sentence if c.lower() in vowels)
   return found == vowels

This code creates a set of vowels and then iterates over the sentence, adding each encountered vowel to another set. If, by the end of the sentence, the second set is equal to the set of all vowels, the function returns True; otherwise, it returns False.

A plate of an alloy steel has a plane-strain fracture toughness of 50 MPa√m. If it is known that the largest surface crack is 0.5 mm long and that the value of Y is 1.1, which of the following can be said about this plate when a tensile stress of 1000 MPa is applied?

A. It is not possible to determine whether or not the plate will fracture.
B. The plate will definitely not fracture
C. The plate will definitely fracture.

Answers

Answer:

option B is correct. Fracture will definitely not occur

Explanation:

The formula for fracture toughness is given by;

K_ic = σY√πa

Where,

σ is the applied stress

Y is the dimensionless parameter

a is the crack length.

Let's make σ the subject

So,

σ = [K_ic/Y√πa]

Plugging in the relevant values;

σ = [50/(1.1√π*(0.5 x 10^(-3))]

σ = 1147 MPa

Thus, the material can withstand a stress of 1147 MPa

So, if tensile stress of 1000 MPa is applied, fracture will not occur because the material can withstand a higher stress of 1147 MPa before it fractures. So option B is correct.

The high electrical conductivity of copper is an important design factor that helps improve the energy efficiency of electric motors. This is important because motors and motor-driven systems are significant consumers of electricity, accounting for 43% - 46% of all global electricity consumption and 69% of all electricity used by industry. Inefficient motors waste electrical energy and are indirect contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. ElectroSpark, Inc. has been developing a new copper die-cast rotor technology specifically for premium efficiency motors, replacing the standard aluminum rotor. There are multiple reasons for doing so, including the possibility that the motor will consume less energy. They designed an experiment to test their idea in a common ¾ Horse power (HP) motor that is normally manufactured with an aluminum rotor. They designed a copper rotor that fit in their ¾ HP motor housing and ran a production line for a day producing the motors. They randomly selected 20 copper-rotor motors from that output and 20 aluminum-rotor motors produced from the same line the day before. These 40 motors were all run for 8 hours a day for 30 days and the energy consumed was measured in total Kilowatt Hours (example data below, using alpha=.05):
Copper: 560.145 539.673 556.834 559.873
Aluminium: 564.674 573.912 553.385 574.078
What is the correct hypothesis to test the problem described in this scenario?
A. H0: μD (copper-aluminum) ≥ 0; H1: μD (copper-aluminum) < 0
B. H0: μ_copper – μ_aluminum ≥ 0; H1: μ_copper – μ_aluminum < 0
C. H0: μD (copper-aluminum) ≥ 0; H1: μD (copper-aluminum) > 0
D. H0: μ_copper – μ_Aluminum ≤ 0; H1: μ_copper – μ_aluminum > 0

The hypothesis will not compare mean of differences of values of energy consumed by copper rotor motor and aluminium rotor motor.

A paired t-test is the standard procedure for testing this null hypothesis.

We use a paired t-test because each worker was measured twice, once for Paired t-test for

each workplace, so the observations on the two workplaces are dependent. paired data

Fast workers are probably fast for both workplaces, and slow workers are

slow for both. Thus what we do is compute the difference (standard − er-

gonomic) for each worker, and test the null hypothesis that the average of

these differences is zero using a one sample t-test on the differences.

Table 2.2 gives the differences between standard and ergonomic times.

A. Technician A only

B. Technician B only

C. Both technician A and B

D/ Neither technician A nor B

Answers

Answer:

C. Both technician A and B

Explanation:

If the master cylinder is overfilled it will not allow enough room for the brake fluid to expand due to heat expansion. This blocks the vent port.  If a vent port is not open, brake fluid pressure will increase as brakes heat up.  This will cause the brakes to self apply, cause more heat in the brake fluid and the vehicle will slow down.

There, we can conclude that Both technician A and B are correct.

Answer:

C. Both technician A and B

Explanation:

The event that made both cylinders to be over filled especially the master cylinder and the blocking of the vent port, this will cause the vehicle brake to apply itself after just a little motion of the vehicle.

Therefore both technicians are correct from the information given above.

Software, such as a word processor, search engine, or mobile interface, typically includes plug-in support specific to a language to aid with spelling. In this assignment, you will implement a class that provides general language support; such a class could presumably be (re)used in these broader software applications. For the purpose of spell checking, a simple language model is a set of valid words. By convention, a language specification may include both capitalized and uncapitalized words. A word that is is entirely lowercased in the language specification can be used in either capitalized or uncapitalized from (e.g., if 'dog'is in the language specification, then both 'dog' and 'Dog' are legitimate usages). However, any word that includes one or more uppercased letters in the original language reflects a form that cannot be modified (e.g., 'Missouri' is acceptable but 'missouri' is not; 'NATO' is acceptable, but neither 'Nato', 'nato', nor 'nAto' would be acceptable). The goals of the new class will be to answer the following types of queries: • Is a given string a legitimate word in the language? (based on the above conventions regarding capitalization) • Given a string, which may or may not be in the language, produce a list of suggestions that are valid words in the language and reasonably "close" to the given string in terms of spelling. (We will say more below, about the notion of distance between words.) Formally, you are to provide a file named language_tools.py that defines aLanguageHelper class with the following three methods. _init__(self, words) The words parameter can be any iterable sequence of strings that define the words in the language. For example, the parameter may be a list of strings, or a file object that has one word per line. All you should assume about this parameter is that you are able to do a loop, for w in words: to access its entries. The class is responsible for recording all words from the language into an internal data representation, and stripping any extraneous whitespace from each entry (such as newline characters that will appear in a file). For the sake of efficiency, we recommend that you store the language words in a Python set instance. (We discuss sets in a later section.) _contains_(self, query) The query parameter is a string. This method should determine whether the string is considered a legitimate word, returning True if the word is contained in the language and False otherwise. This method should adhere to the aforementioned conventions regarding capitalized and uncapitalized words. For example, dog, Dog and Missouri are contained in the English language, yet missouri and Missourri are not. The _contains_ special method is used by Python to support the in operator. It allows the standard syntax "Missouri' in language which is implicitly translated by Python to the internal call language. _contains_('Missouri') presuming that language is an instance of our LanguageHelper class. getSuggestions (self, query) Given a query string, this method should return an alphabetical list of "nearby" words in the language. Doing a good job at offering suggestions is the most difficult part of writing a good language helper. We discuss this aspect of the project in a later section. S = set() create a new set instance (which is initially an empty set). s.add(value) adds the given value to the set (value will be a string in our application). value in s returns True if the given value is currently in the set, and False otherwise.

D. The velocity components at any point are found from the first partial derivatives of the stream function at the given point

Explanation:

The stream function can be used to plot the streamlines of the flow and find the velocity. For two-dimensional flow the velocity components can be calculated in Cartesian coordinates by u = −∂ψ/∂y and v = ∂ψ/∂x,

where u and v are the velocity vectors (components) in the x and y directions, respectively, ψ is the stream function.

From the above, the velocity components at any point are found from the first partial derivatives of the stream function at the given point.

Does the sum of 1/5 + 1/5 equals 2/5 make sense in situations What did African American abolitionists do to try and end slavery in the US? The use of a third party to intervene to help resolve a conflict: a. Is useful because it can allow both sides to make concessions while saving face. b. Can help to reduce emotional issues and focus both sides on the issues. c. Requires the agreement of both sides in order to work. d. May cause each side to harden its position and make compromise more difficult. e. All of the above are true. The "cold start ignition time" of an automobile engine is being investigated by a gasoline manufacturer. The following times, in seconds, were obtained for a test vehicle. 0.17, 1.94, 2.62, 2.35, 3.05, 3.15, 2.53, 4.81 and 1.92 Write answers as decimal values (i.e. 0.12) and round to two decimal places (if necessary) Consider a very long, slender rod. One end of the rod is attached to a base surface maintained at Tb, while the surface of the rod is exposed to an air temperature of 400C. Thermocouples imbedded in the rod at locations 25 mm and 120 mm from the base surface register temperatures of 335C and 375C, respectively. (a) Calculate the rod base temperature (C). (b) Determine the rod length (mm) for the case where the ratio of the heat transfer from a finite length fin to the heat transfer from a very long fin under the same conditions is 99 percent.
