a. It's not entirely reasonable to generalize the conclusion to all 18-year-olds with publicly accessible MySpace profiles due to the study's limited sample size and potential biases.
b. b. No, it's not reasonable to generalize the conclusion to all 18-year-old MySpace users because not all users have publicly accessible profiles.
c. While somewhat reasonable, generalizing to MySpace users with publicly accessible profiles requires caution, considering potential individual differences within this subgroup.
The study only looked at a random sample of 500 profiles, which might not be fully representative of all 18-year-olds on MySpace. Generalizing to all 18-year-old MySpace users is not reasonable as not all users have publicly accessible profiles, which could skew the findings.
Additionally, factors such as cultural differences, regional variations, and individual preferences could influence whether adolescents choose to display sport or hobby involvement on their profiles.

A signalized intersection approach has an upgrade of 4%. The total width of the cross street at this intersection is 60 feet. The average vehicle length of approaching traffic is 16 feet. The speed of approaching traffic is 40 mi/h. Determine the sum of the minimum necessary change and clearance intervals.
Answer:
change interval is 3.93 sec
clearance interval is 1.477 sec
Explanation:
Given data:
upgrade of intersection 4%
street total width at intersection is 60 ft
vehicle length of approaching traffic = 16 ft
speed of approaching traffic =40 mi/hr
85th percentile speed is calculated as
S_{85} = S +5
S_{ 85} = 40 + 5 = 45 mi/h
15th Percentile speed
[tex]S_{15} =S-5[/tex]
= 40 - 5 = 35 mi/hr
change in interval is calculated as
[tex]y = t + \frac{1.47 S_{85}}{2a +(64.4\times 0.01 G}[/tex]
t is reaction time is 1.0,
deceleration rate is given as 10 ft/s^2
[tex]y = 1.0 +\frac{1.47\times 45}{2a +(64.4\times 0.01\times 4}[/tex]
y = 3.93 s
clearance interval is calculated as
[tex]a_r = \frac{W+ L}{1.47\times S_{15}}[/tex]
[tex]a_r = \frac{60+16}{1.47\times 35} = 1.477 s[/tex]
A 1000 KVA three phase transformer has a secondary voltage of 208/120. What is the secondary full load amperage?
Answer:
The three phase full load secondary amperage is 2775.7 A
Explanation:
Following data is given,
S = Apparent Power = 1000 kVA
No. of phases = 3
Secondary Voltage: 208 V/120 V (Here 208 V is three phase voltage and 120 V is single phase voltage)
Since,
[tex]V_{1ph} =\frac{ V_{3ph}}{\sqrt{3} }\\V_{1ph) = \frac{208}{\sqrt{3} }\\[/tex]
[tex]V_{1ph} = 120 V[/tex]
The formula for apparent power in three phase system is given as:
[tex]S = \sqrt{3} VI[/tex]
Where:
S = Apparent Power
V = Line Voltage
I = Line Current
In order to calculate the Current on Secondary Side, substituting values in above formula,
[tex]1000 kVA = \sqrt{3} * (208) * (I)\\1000 * 1000 = \sqrt{3} * (208) * (I)\\I = \frac{1000 * 1000}{\sqrt{3} * (208) }\\ I = 2775.7 A[/tex]
Why is the contractor normally required to submit a bid bond when making a proposal to an owner on a competitively bid contract?
Answer:
It serves as a guarantee that the contractor who wins the bid will honor the terms of the bid after the contract is signed.
Explanation:
A bid bond is a type of construction bond that protects the obligee in a construction bidding process.
A bid bond typically involves three parties:
The obligee; the owner or developer of the construction project under bid. The principal; the bidder or proposed contractor.
The surety; the agency that issues the bid bond to the principal example insurance company or bank.
A bid bond generally serves as a guarantee that the contractor who wins the bid will honor the terms of the bid after the contract is signed.
Contractors are required to submit a bid bond to ensure they are financially able and willing to complete the project they bid on, preserving the integrity of the bidding process by preventing cost overruns, favoritism, and corruption.
Explanation:A contractor is normally required to submit a bid bond when making a proposal to an owner on a competitively bid contract to ensure that the contractor is serious and financially able to carry out the project. The bid bond is a form of guarantee that the contractor will enter into the contract at the bid price if awarded the project and provides a financial penalty if the contractor fails to do so. Municipalities and other entities require this bond to prevent situations where a contractor might win a bid and then refuse to complete the work or ask for additional funds to finish the project (“cost overruns”). This is significant in a competitive bidding environment where fairness and the avoidance of favoritism or corruption are essential, as it stops anyone from being favored over others and ensures the project will be completed at the bid price.
Tenders, which are bid documents that outline the project plan and cost, play a crucial role in the construction industry. A well-prepared tender demonstrates that the projected cost reflects a balance between safety, environmental friendliness, and profitability. In contrast, a sealed-bid auction often used in these processes, requires strategic bidding and is susceptible to collusion or bribery to uncover competitor's bid details. Hence, a bid bond safeguards the process by providing a financial deterrent against such unethical practices.
The concentration of carbon monoxide (co) in an exhaust gas is 1x10^4 ppmv. what is the concentration in mg/m^3 at 25 and 1 atm
Answer:
1.1451 x 104 (11451.13)mg/m3
Explanation:
1 ppmv is defined as one volume of a contaminant or solid(CO)(mL) in 1 x 106 volume of solvent/water.
1ppmv = 1mL/m3
Concentration in mg/m3 = volume in ppm x molecular weight x pressure(kPa)/( gas constant x temperature(K)
Molecular weight of CO = 12 + 16
= 28g/mol
Temperature = 273.15 + 25
= 298.15K
Pressure = 1 x 101.325kPa
= 101.325kPa
Ppmv = 1 x 10-4ppmv
Gas constant, R = 8.3144 L.kPa/mol.K
Concentration in mg/m3 = (1 x 104 * 28 * 101.325)/(8.3144 * 298)
= 1.1451 x 104mg/m3
= 11451.13 mg/m3
A hydraulic cylinder has a 125-mm diameter piston with hydraulic fluid inside the cylinder and an ambient pressure of 1 bar. Assuming standard gravity, find the piston mass that will create a pressure inside of 2500 kPa.

A=(π/4)D^2=(π/4)*0.125^2=0.01227m^2
Mp=(P-Po) A/g=(2500-100)*1000*0.01227/9.80665
Mp=3002.86kg.
What is the peak runoff discharge for a 1.3 in/hr storm event from a 9.4-acre concrete-paved parking lot (C
Answer:
331809.5gallon/hr or 92.16gallon/s
Explanation:
What is the peak runoff discharge for a 1.3 in/hr storm event from a 9.4-acre concrete-paved parking lot (C
convert 9.4 acre to inches we have=5.896*10^7
How to calculate Peak runoff discharge
1. take the dimension of the roof
2. multiply the dimension by the n umber of inches of rainfall
3. Divide by 231 to get gallon equivalence (because 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches)
5.896*10^7*1.3
7.66*10^7 cubic inches/hr
1 gallon=231 cubic inches
7.66*10^7 cubic inches=331809.5gallon/hr or 92.16gallon/s
this is gotten by converting 1 hr to seconds
331809.5gallon/hr /3600s=92.16gallon/s
The real power delivered by a source to two impedances, ????1=4+????5Ω and ????2=10Ω connected in parallel, is 1000 W. Determine (a) the real power absorbed by each of the impedances and (b) the source current.
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the complete question
"The real power delivered by a source to two impedance, Z1=4+j5Ω and Z2=10Ω connected in parallel, is 1000 W. Determine (a) the real power absorbed by each of the impedances and (b) the source current."
answer:
a. 615W, 384.4W
b. 17.4A
Explanation:
To determine the real power absorbed by the impedance, we need to find first the equivalent admittance for each impedance.
recall that the symbol for admittance is Y and express as
[tex]Y=\frac{1}{Z}[/tex]
Hence for each we have,
[tex]Y_{1} =1/Zx_{1}\\Y_{1} =\frac{1}{4+j5}\\converting to polar \\ Y_{1} =\frac{1}{6.4\leq 51.3}\\ Y_{1} =(0.16 \leq -51.3)S[/tex]
for the second impedance we have
[tex]Y_{2}=\frac{1}{10}\\Y_{2}=0.1S[/tex]
we also determine the voltage cross the impedance,
P=V^2(Y1 +Y2)
[tex]V=\sqrt{\frac{P}{Y_{1}+Y_{2}}}\\[/tex]
[tex]V=\sqrt{\frac{1000}{0.16+0.1}}\\ V=62v[/tex]
The real power in the impedance is calculated as
[tex]P_{1}=v^{2}G_{1}\\P_{1}=62*62*0.16\\ P_{1}=615W[/tex]
for the second impedance
[tex]P_{2}=v^{2}*G_{2}\\ P_{2}=62*62*0.1\\384.4w[/tex]
b. We determine the equivalent admittance
[tex]Y_{total}=Y_{1}+Y_{2}\\Y_{total}=(0.16\leq -51.3 )+0.1\\Y_{total}=(0.16-j1.0)+0.1\\Y_{total}=0.26-J1.0\\[/tex]
We convert the equivalent admittance back into the polar form
[tex]Y_{total}=0.28\leq -19.65\\[/tex]
the source current flows is
[tex]I_{s}=VY_{total}\\I_{s}=62*0.28\\I_{s}=17.4A[/tex]
Using Pascal’s Law and a hydraulic jack, you want to lift a 4,000 lbm rock. The large cylinder has a diameter of 6 inches.
a. What would the diameter of the small cylinder need to be if the amount of forceyou could apply was limited to your weight (120 lbf) ? (neglect the leveragegained by using a handle)
Answer:
a diameter of D₂ = 0.183 inches would be required
Explanation:
appyling pascal's law
P applied to the hydraulic jack = P required to lift the rock
F₁*A₁ = F₂*A₂
since A₁= π*D₁²/4 , A₂= π*D₂²/4
F₁*π*D₁²/4 = F₂* π*D₂²/4
F₁*D₁²=F₂*D₂²
D₂ = D₁ *√(F₁/F₂)
replacing values
D₂ = D₁ *√(F₁/F₂) = 6 in * √(120 lbf/(4000 lbm * 32.174 (lbf/lbm)) = 0.183 inches

The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x = t3 – 6t2 + 9t + 3, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine When the velocity is zero The position, acceleration and total distance traveled when t= 5 sec
The displacement of a particle when its velocity is zero can be found by differentiating the displacement function to get the velocity function, then determining when this velocity is zero. By substituting the corresponding time back into the displacement equation, we calculate the displacement at that time. Additionally, for acceleration, we can integrate to find velocity and displacement with given initial conditions.
Explanation:Finding the Displacement When Velocity is ZeroThe question involves determining the displacement of a particle when its velocity is zero. Since velocity is the derivative of displacement with respect to time, we first need to find the velocity function by differentiating the displacement function x = t3
- 6t2 + 9t + 3. Once we have the velocity function, we can locate the time t at which the velocity is zero. The displacement at this time will be our required value. Similarly, if given an acceleration function, a(t) = t - 1, and initial conditions for velocity and position, we integrate the acceleration to find the velocity, and again to find the displacement.
To address the specific question of the student regarding the particle's position, acceleration, and total distance traveled at t = 5 seconds, we would substitute t into our established functions for position and acceleration accordingly.
If the initial acceleration of a particle is to be calculated from the provided differential equation dv(t)/dt = 6.0 - 3v(t), with the initial condition of the particle being at rest, we would substitute t = 0 into this equation to find the initial acceleration.

The speed of an aircraft is given to be 260 m/s in air. If the speed of sound at that location is 330 m/s, the flight of the aircraft is _____.
Answer:
[tex]Ma=\frac{260}{330} \\Ma=0.7878[/tex]
So, Ma < 1 Flow is Subsonic
Explanation:
Mach Number:
Mach Number is the ratio of speed of the object to the speed of the sound. It is used to categorize the speed of the object on the basis of mach number as sonic, supersonic and hyper sonic. (It is a unit less quantity)
Mach < 1 Subsonic
Mach > 1 Supersonic
Ma= Speed of the object/Speed of the sound
[tex]Ma=\frac{260}{330} \\Ma=0.7878[/tex]
So, Ma < 1 Flow is Subsonic
Assess the capabilities of a hydroelectric power plant from the following field data: Estimated water flow rate, 40 m3/s River inlet at 1 atm, 10 oC Discharge at 1 atm, 10.2 oC, 200 m below the intake?
Answer:
This hydroelectric power plant has the capability of producing around 78.4 MW of electric energy.
Explanation:
First, we calculate the pressure the water exerts or gains when it travels 200 m below the intake. W have the data:
Density of water = ρ = 1000 kg/m^3
Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²
Height lost = h = 200 m
Volume flow rate = 40 m^3/s
The pressure difference, is now given as:
ΔP = ρgh
ΔP = (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s²)(200 m)
ΔP = 1960000 Pa = 1.96 MPa
Now, we calculate the power capacity of this flow:
Power = ΔP(Volume flow rate)
Power = (1960000 N/m²)(40 m^3/s)
Power = 78400000 Watt
Power = 78.4 MW
Thus, this plant can produce at max 78.4 MW. The actual power produced will be slightly less than this due of the losses and efficiency of turbine system used.
Assume that the number of seeds a plant produces is proportional to its aboveground biomass. Find an equation that relates number of seeds and above ground biomass if a plant that weighs 225 g has 26 seeds. Use the variables s for number of seeds and w for weight in grams.
Answer:
s= 0.1156 * w or
s= 0.115*(q+p) in terms of Top Biomass and Root Biomass
Explanation:
Since s (number of seeds) is proportional to biomass (w), and above ground biomass also increases with total plant biomass.
s α w
s= 26
w= 225
k= constant
Thus s = k * w
s/w= k
26/225= k
0.1156= k
The equation showing the relationship between seeds and plant biomass is:
s= 0.1156 * w
Assume q= Top Biomass, and p= Root Biomass
w= q+p
Our equation now becomes
s= 0.115*(q+p)

The displacement of an oscillating mass is 0.004*sin(7t) meters. What is the peak amplitude of its velocity in meters/second?
Answer:
The peak amplitude velocity is found to be 0.028 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that the displacement of an oscillating mass is:
Displacement = x = 0.004 Sin(7t)
Now, to find out the velocity of this particle, me have to take derivative of 'x' with respect to 't'.
Velocity = V = dx/dt = (7)(0.004)Cos (7t)
V = 0.028 Cos (7t)
Now, for the maximum displacement, the value of the Cos function must be maximum. And we know that the maximum value of Cos function is 1. Thus, to get maximum displacement, we set the value of Cos (7t) to be equal to 1.
Vmax = 0.028(1)
Vmax = 0.028 m/s (Peak Amplitude of Velocity)
A branched molecular structure is stronger in the solid-state and more viscous in the molten state than a linear structure for the same polymer.
True or False?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Many car companies are performing research on collision avoidance systems. A small prototype applies engine braking that decelerates the vehicle according to the relationship a = − k √ t , where a and t are expressed in m/s² and seconds, respectively.
The vehicle is traveling at 20 m/s when its radar sensors detect a stationary obstacle. Knowing that it takes the prototype vehicle 4 seconds to stop, determine; (a) expressions for its velocity and position as a function of time, (b) how far the vehicle traveled before it stopped.
Answer:
[tex]v(t)=-\frac{5}{2}\sqrt{t^3}+20\\s(t)=-\sqrt{t^5}+20t[/tex]
[tex]s(t=4)=48\text{ m}[/tex]
Explanation:
In this case acceleration is defined as:
[tex]a(t)=-k\sqrt{t}[/tex] ,
where k is a constant to be found.
To find the expressions for velocity and position as a function of time you must integrate the expression above for acceleration two times.
Initial conditions and boundary conditions are defined with the rest of the data as:
[tex]v(t=0)=20\text{ m/s}\\v(t=4)=0\text{ m/s}\\s(t=0)=0\text{ m}[/tex]
First integration is equal to:
[tex]a'(t)=v(t)=-k\int\sqrt{t}dt=-\frac{2}{3}k\sqrt{t^3}+C_1[/tex]
The boundary condition and initial condition can be used to calculate [tex]k[/tex] and [tex]C_1[/tex]:
[tex]C_1=20\\k=\frac{15}{4}[/tex]
With this expression for velocity is defined as:
[tex]v(t)=-\frac{5}{2}\sqrt{t^3}+20[/tex]
The same can be done to get to expression for position:
[tex]s(t)=-\sqrt{t^5}+20[/tex]
To get the total distance traveled you can integrate the velocity expression from time=0 sec to time=4 sec:
[tex]s_{tot}=\int_0^4(-\frac{5}{2}\sqrt{t^3}+20)dt=48\text{ m}[/tex]
A 4.60 L vessel contains 24.5 g of PCl3 and 3.00 g of O2 at 15.0 ⁰C. The vessel is heated to 195 ⁰C, and the contents react to give POCl3.What is the final pressure in the vessel,assuming that the reaction goes to completion and that all reactants and products are in the gas phase?
Answer:
The final pressure in the vessel is 2.270atm
Explanation:
Mass of PCl3 = 24.5g, MW of PCl3 = 137.5g/mole, number of moles of PCl3 = 24.5/137.5 = 0.178mole
Mass of O2 = 3g, MW of O2 = 32g/mole, number of moles of O2 = 3/32 = 0.094moles
Total moles of rectant (n) = 0.178mole + 0.094mole = 0.272mole
From ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
P (pressure of reactants) = nRT/V
n = 0.272mole, R = 82.057cm^3.atm/gmol.K, T = 15°C = 15+273K = 288K, V = 4.6L = 4.6×1000cm^3 = 4600cm^3
P = 0.272×82.057×288/4600 = 1.397atm
From pressure law
P1/T1 = P2/T2
P2 (final pressure in the vessel) = P1T2/T1
P1 = 1.397atm, T1 = 288K, T2 = 195°C = 195+273K = 468K
P2 = 1.397×468/288 = 2.270atm

Calculate the resulting power factor if a synchronous motor rated at 500 hp with 90% efficiency operating at rated load and at unity power factor is added to the plant instead of the capacitor.
Assume constant voltage (1 hp = 0.746 kW).
Answer:
The question is incomplete. Below is the complete question
"An industrial plant consisting primarily of induction motor loads absorbs 500 kW at 0.6 power factor lagging. (a) Compute the required kVA rating of a shunt capacitor to improve the power factor to 0.9 lagging. (b) Calculate the resulting power factor if a synchronous motor rated 500 hp with 90% efficiency operating at rated load and at unity power factor is added to the plant instead of the capacitor. Assume constant voltage. (1 hp = 0.746 kW)"
Answer:
a. 424.5KVA
b. 0.808 lagging.
Explanation:
Let's first determine the real power, reactive and the apparent power delivered.
Ql= Ptan(the real power angle)
Ql=500*tan53.13°
Ql=666.7 Kvar
The reactive angle is
Arccos(0.9)=25.84°
Now we calculate the reactive power
Qs=Ptan25. 84°
Qs=242.4KVAR
Hence the apparent power is
Qc=Ql-Qs
Qc=666.7-242.2
Qc=424.5KVAR
The required KVA rating of the shunt capacitor is 424.5KVA
b. To calculate the resulting power factor we first determine the power absorbs by the synchronous motor.
Pm=(500*0.746)/0.9
Pm=414.4KW
The total reactive power is
Ps=P+Pm
Ps=414.4+500=914.4KW
Hence we compute the source power factor as
PF=cos[arctan(Qs/Ps)]
PF=cos[arctan(666.7/914.4)
From careful calculation, we arrive at
PF=0.808.
Note this power factor will be lagging.
You are provided with a fuel cell that is designed to operate at j = 3 A∕cm2 and P = 1.5 W∕cm2. How much fuel cell active area (in cm2) is required to deliver 2 kW of electrical power? (This is approximately enough to provide power to the average American home.)
(a) 296.3 cm2
(b) 1333.3 cm2
(c) 444.4cm2
(d) 666.6 cm2
To provide 2 kW of electrical power, the fuel cell requires an active area of approximately 1333.3 cm2, calculated by dividing the total power required by the fuel cell's power density.
Explanation:The question involves calculating the area of a fuel cell required to deliver a specific power output, given its operational parameters. This problem is grounded in the principles of electrochemical engineering and requires an understanding of how power density influences the design and performance of fuel cells. Given that the fuel cell operates at a current density (j) of 3 A/cm2 and a power density (P) of 1.5 W/cm2, we are tasked with determining the active area needed to supply 2 kW of electrical power.
The formula to calculate the area is straightforward:
Start by identifying the total power output required, which is 2 kW or 2000 W.Use the provided power density of the fuel cell, 1.5 W/cm2.Calculate the area by dividing the total power by the power density: Area = 2000 W / 1.5 W/cm2 = 1333.3 cm2.Therefore, to deliver 2 kW of electrical power, a fuel cell with an active area of approximately 1333.3 cm2 is required.
A car starts at rest and moves along a perfectly straight highway with an acceleration of α1 = 10 m/s2 for a certain amount of time t1. It then moves with constant speed (zero acceleration) for a time t2 and finally decelerates with an acceleration α2= -10 m/s2 for a time t3 until it comes to a complete stop. The total time of motion is t1 +t2+t3=25 s. The total distance travelled by the car is 1 km. Find t2 Hints: (i) Recognize that each segment of the journey is at constant acceleration! (ii) What is the relationship between the quantities t1, t2, and t3? Use this to help simplify the set of equations that you obtain during the solution process
Answer:
t1 = t3 = 5 seconds
t2 = 15 seconds
Explanation:
For t = t1
a = 10 m/s^2
v(t) = 10*t
s(t) = 5*t^2
Distance traveled = 5*t1^2
For t = t2
a = 0 m/s^2
v(t) = 10*t1
s(t) = 10*t1*t
Distance traveled = 10*t1*t2
For t = t3
a = -10 m/s^2
v(t) = -10*t
s(t) = - 5t^2
Distance traveled = 5t3^2
Sum of all distances = 5*t1^2 + 10*t1*(t2) + 5t3^2
1000 = 5t1^2 + 10t1t2 + 5t3^2 + 10*t1*t2 ....... Eq 1
Distance traveled in first and last segments are the same:
t1 = t3 ..... Eq 2
Given: t1+t2+t3 = 25 .... Eq 3
Solving Equations simultaneously:
Subs Eq 2 into Eq 3 & Eq 1
1000 = 5t1^2 + 10*t1*t2 + 5*t1^2
100 = t1^2 + t1*t2 ..... Eq 4
2t1 + t2 = 25
t2 = 25 - 2t1 .... Eq 5
Subs Eq 5 into Eq 4
100 = t1^2 + t1*(25 - 2t1)
t1^2 -25t1 + 100 = 0
Solve for t1
t1 = 5 , 20 Hence, t1 = 5 sec is selected
t1 = t3 = 5 sec
t2 = 15 sec
Use the laws of propositional logic to prove that each statement is a tautology. (p n q) rightarrow (p V r) p rightarrow (r rightarrow p) (8 points each for a total of 16, zyBook section 1.5, exercise 1.5.3(a, b))

Explanation:
If the statement is a tautology is true for all the possible combinations
Part a
[tex] (p \land q) \Rightarrow (p \lor r)[/tex] lets call this condition (1)
[tex](p \land q) [/tex] condition (2) and [tex](p \lor r)[/tex] condition (3)
We can create a table like this one:
p q r (2) (3) (1)
T T T T T T
T T F T T T
T F T F T T
T F F F T T
F T T F T T
F T F F F T
F F T F T T

So as we can see we have a tautology.
Part b
[tex] p \Rightarrow (r \Rightarrow p)[/tex] lt's call this condition 1
And [tex] (r \Rightarrow p)[/tex] condition 2
We can create the following table:
p r (2) (1)
T T T T
T F T T
F T F T
F F T T
So is also a tautology.
Real resistors can only be manufactured to a specific tolerance, so that in effect the value of the resistance is uncertain. For example, a 1Ω resistor specified as 5% tolerance could in practice be found to have a value anywhere in the range of 0.95 to 1.05Ω. Calculate the potential voltage range across a 2.2 kΩ 10% tolerance resistor if the current flowing through the element is 4 sin 44t mA.
Answer:
The potential voltage range across a 2.2 kΩ 10% tolerance resistor when current of 4 sin 44t mA is flowing through the element is between a range of 7.92sin44t and 9.68sin44t volts.
Explanation:
Given that there is 10% tolerance for the 2.2 kΩ resistor, this implies that the resistance would range between 2,200 — 10% of 2,200 and 2,200 + 10% of 2,200, which is:
(i) 2,200 — 10% of 2,200 = 2,200 — 220 = 1,980 Ω, and
(ii) 2,200 + 10% of 2,200 = 2,200 + 220 = 2,420 Ω
Therefore, we will calculate the potential voltage for 1,980 Ω and 2,420 Ω if the current flowing through the element is 4sin44t mA:
(a) The potential voltage for a resistance of 1,980 Ω: we will use the formula: potential voltage v = i × R
Where i = 4sin44t mA = 0.004sin44t A, and R = 1,980 Ω
The potential voltage = v = 1,980 × 0.004sin44t = 7.92sin44t (in volts)
(b) The potential voltage for a resistance of 2,420 Ω: we will use the formula: potential voltage v = i × R
Where i = 4sin44t mA = 0.004sin44t A, and R = 2,420 Ω
The potential voltage = v = 2,420 × 0.004sin44t = 9.68sin44t (in volts)
5) A 80-kg man has a total foot imprint area of 480 cm2. Determine the pressure this man exerts on the ground if (a) he stands on both feet and (b) he stands on one foot.
Answer:
The pressure exerted by this man on ground
(a) if he stands on both feet is 8.17 KPa
(b) if he stands on one foot is 16.33 KPa
Explanation:
(a)
When the man stand on both feet, the weight of his body is uniformly distributed around the foot imprint of both feet. Thus, total area in this case will be:
Area = A = 2 x 480 cm²
A = 960 cm²
A = 0.096 m²
The force exerted by man on his area will be equal to his weight.
Force = F = Weight
F = mg
F = (80 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
F = 784 N
Now, the pressure exerted by man on ground will be:
Pressure = P = F/A
P = 784 N/0.096 m²
P = 8166.67 Pa = 8.17 KPa
(b)
When the man stand on one foot, the weight of his body is uniformly distributed around the foot imprint of that foot only. Thus, total area in this case will be:
Area = A = 480 cm²
A = 0.048 m²
The force exerted by man on his area will be equal to his weight, in this case, as well.
Force = F = Weight
F = mg
F = (80 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
F = 784 N
Now, the pressure exerted by man on ground will be:
Pressure = P = F/A
P = 784 N/0.048 m²
P = 16333.33 Pa = 16.33 KPa
