A 227 pound compressor is supported by four legs that contact the floor of a machine shop. At the bottom of each leg there is a

circular pad formed from a synthetic material to dampen vibration. The synthetic material will support up to a maximum pressure of 42 psi before deforming. What is the minimum diameter to avoid deforming the material?

Answer:

1.312 in

Explanation:

The details provided in the question are:

The weight of the compressor, W is 227 pounds.

It has 4 legs.

The maximum permissible pressure is 42 psi.

Let F represent the force exerted by each leg.

Thus,

W = 4F,

or

227 pounds = 4F,

implying that:

F = 56.75 pounds.

Furthermore,

Force = Pressure × Area,

therefore:

56.75 pounds = 42 psi × πr²  [ r signifies the radius of one leg]

Consequently, we find:

r² = 0.4301,

and thus:

r = 0.656;

resulting in a diameter equal to 2r = 2 × 0.656,

which equals 1.312 in.

At what forward voltage does a diode conduct a current equal to 10,000 Is ? In terms of Is , what current flows in the same diod
pantera1 [306]

Answer:a) The forward voltage is 0.23 V

b) The current that flows  

I_{d} = (1.45*10^{12}I_{s})A

Explanation:

The forward voltage refers to the minimum voltage required for a diode to start conducting. The formula used is given by:

a) At which forward voltage does a diode allow a current equal to 10,000 Is? In terms of Is

I_{d} = I_{s}(e^{\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }-1)

Where:

Id denotes the diode current = 10000Is,

Vd stands for the forward voltage at which conduction begins,

Is indicates the saturation current.

I_{d} = I_{s}(e^{\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }-1)

10000I_{s} = I_{s}(e^{\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }-1)

By dividing through by Is,

10000 = (e^{\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }-1)

10000 +1= e^{\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }

10001= e^{\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }

Taking the natural log of both sides,

ln(10001)= {\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }

9.21= {\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }

Multiplying through by 0.025 yields  

= 0.23 V

This indicates the forward voltage at which the diode conducts a current equal to 10,000 Is is 0.23 V

b) What current flows in the same diode when the forward voltage is 0.7 V?

I_{d} = I_{s}(e^{\frac{v_{f} }{0.025} }-1)

I_{d} = I_{s}(e^{\frac{0.7}{0.025} }-1)

I_{d} = I_{s}(1.45*10^{12} -1)

I_{d} = (1.45*10^{12}I_{s})A

Kisachek [356]

Answer:

ΔL = 1.68 mm

σ = 84 MPa

Explanation:

Thermal expansion can be calculated as:

ΔL = α ΔT L

And thermal stress is given by:

σ = α ΔT E

Provided values:

α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ /°C

E = 1.0×10⁵ MPa

ΔT = 80°C − 10°C = 70°C

L = 2 m

Thus, ΔL can be calculated as follows:

ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ /°C) (70°C) (2 m)

ΔL = 0.00168 m

ΔL = 1.68 mm

For the thermal stress:

σ = (1.2×10⁻⁵ /°C) (70°C) (1.0×10⁵ MPa)

σ = 84 MPa

mote1985 [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equilibrium vacancy concentration can be described by:

nv/N = exp(-ΔHv/KT),

where T is the temperature at which vacancies form,

K = Boltzmann's constant,

and ΔHv = enthalpy of vacancy formation.

Rearranging this equation to express temperature allows you to calculate it using the provided values. A detailed breakdown of the process is included in the attached file.

Daniel [329]
For Deterministic Quicksort, which operates by selecting the first element as the pivot, consider a scenario where the pivot consistently divides the array into segments of 1/3 and 2/3 for all recursive calls. (a) The runtime recurrence for this case needs to be determined. (b) Use a recursion tree to justify that this recurrence resolves to Theta(n log n). (c) Provide distinct sequences of 4 and 13 numbers that prompt this behavior.
