technician A says that in any circuit, electrical current takes the path of least resistance. technician B says that while this is true in a series circuit, it's not entirely true in a parallel circuit. who is correct?
Answer:
technician A is correct
Explanation:
Technician B has circuit topologies confused. In a series circuit, there is only one path for electrical current to take. In a parallel circuit, the current will divide between paths in proportion to the inverse of their resistance. The least resistance path will have the most current.
Technician A is mostly correct.

A DC servomotor has a torque constant of 0.075 N-m/A and a voltage constant of 0.12 V/(rad/sec). The armature resistance is 2.5 Ohm. A terminal voltage of 24 V is used to operate the motor. Determine:
a) the starting torque generated by the motor just as the voltage is applied.
b) the maximum speed at a torque of zero.
c) the operating point of the motor when it is connected to a load whose torque characteristic is proportional to speed with a constant of proportionality = 0.0125 N-m/(rad/sec).
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Given that:
[tex]k_t=torque\ constant=0.075\ Nm/A\\\\k_v=voltage\ constant=0.12\ V/(rad/sec)\\\\R_a=armature \ resistance=2.5 \Omega\\\\V_t=terminal\ voltage=24\ V\\\\a)The \ starting\ current\ I_a\ is\ given \ as:\\\\I_a=\frac{V_t}{R_a} =\frac{24}{2.5} =9.6\ A\\\\The \ starting\ torque(T)\ is:\\\\T=k_tI_a=0.075*9.6=0.72\ N.m[/tex]
b) The maximum speed occurs when the terminal voltage and back emf are equal to each other i.e.
[tex]V_t=e_b=k_v\omega\\\\\omega=\frac{V_t}{k_v}=\frac{24}{0.12} =200\ rad/s[/tex]
c) The load torque is given as:
[tex]T_L=0.0125\Omega\\\\The\ motor\ torque \ is:\\\\T=k_t(\frac{V_t-k_v\omega}{R_a} )\\\\but\ T = T_L,hence:\\\\0.0125\omega=0.075(\frac{24-0.12\omega}{2.5} )\\\\0.03125\omega=1.8-0.009\omega\\\\0.04025\omega=1.8\\\\\omega=44.72\ rad/sec\\\\N=\frac{60\omega}{2\pi} =\frac{60*44.72}{2\pi} =427\ rpm[/tex]
Estimate the chronic daily intake of toluene from exposure to a city water supply that contains a toluene concentration equal to the drinking water standard of 1 mg · L−1. Assume the exposed individual is an adult female who consumes water at the adult rate for 70 years, that she abhors swimming, and that she takes a long (20 minute) bath every day. Assume that the average air concentration of toluene during the bath is 1 µg · m−3. Assume the dermal uptake from water (PC) is 9.0 × 10−6 m · h−1 and that direct dermal absorption during bathing is no more than 80% of the available toluene because she is not completely submerged. Use the EPA lifetime exposure of 75 years.
Answer: the total chronic daily intake is 0.03296 mg/ kg.d
Explanation:
First of we have to determine the CDI due to ingestion of drinking water
so
CDI = (C x IR x EF x ED) / (BW x AT) let leave this as equation 1
where C is the concentration of the life time risk of drinking water(1.0mg/L)
ED is the risk dying per year((70),
EF is the number of days per year(365 day/year)
BW is the weight of body(65.4)kg
AT is the average tenure time of life(75years)
IR = 2.3 L/days
so we substitute
CDI₁ = (1(mg/L) x 2.3(L/day) x 365 x 70) / (65.4 x 365 x 75)
= 3.29 x 10⁻² mg/kg.d
next we determine the CDI due to dermal contact with water.
find the ingestion rate which is equal to the exposure time in hour/day.
IR = ET
(20 min/day) / (60 min/hour)
= 0.333 h/day
now lets substitute for CD1₂
1.0 mg/L for C , 0.333 h/day for m , 365 day/year for EF, 70 year for ED, 65.4 kg for Bw , and 75 year for AT
0.8 for submergence and 1.69m² for area of skin of adult female in our equation 1
CDI₂ = [(1 mg/1) × (1.69 m²) × (9.0 x 10⁻⁶(m/h)) × 0.333(h/day) x 365 x 70)) / (65.4 x 365 x 75)] × ( 0.8 x 10³ L/m³)
CDI₂ = 5.41 x 10⁻⁵ mg/kg.d
now we find the CDI due to inhalation during bath
we substitute 1.0 mg/L for C, 11.3m³/day for IR , 365 day/year for EF , 70 year for ED. 65.4 kg for BW , and 75 year for AT in our equation 1
CDI₃ = [( 1ug/m³ × 1mg/10³ug) x (11.3m³/day x 1day/24 hr) x 365 x 70)] / (65.4 kg x 365 x 75 )
= 6.71 x 10⁻⁶ mg/kg.d
finally we Calculate the total chronic daily intake value
CDI_total = CDI₁ + CDI₂ + CDI₃
we substitute
CDI_total = 3.29 x 10⁻² + 5.41 x 10⁻⁵ + 6.71 x 10⁻⁶
= 0.03296 mg/kg.d
so the total chronic daily intake is 0.03296 mg/ kg.d

Assignment 1: Structural Design of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beams for Bending
Perform structural design of a rectangular reinforced concrete beam for bending. The beam is simply supported and has a span L=20 feet. In addition to its own weight the beam should support a superimposed dead load of 0.50 k/ft and a live load of 0.65 k/ft. Use a beam width of 12 inches. The depth of the beam should satisfy the ACI stipulations for minimum depth and be proportioned for economy. Concrete compressive strength f’c = 4,000 psi and yield stress of reinforcing bars fy = 60,000 psi. Size of stirrups should be chosen based on the size of the reinforcing bars. The beam is neither exposed to weather nor in contact with the ground, meaning it is subjected to interior exposure.
• Use the reference on "Practical Considerations for Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beams"
• Include references to ACI code – see slides from second class
• Include references to Tables from Appendix A
• Draw a sketch of the reinforced concrete beam showing all dimensions, number and size of rebars, including stirrups.
Answer:
Beam of 25" depth and 12" width is sufficient.
I've attached a detailed section of the beam.
Explanation:
We are given;
Beam Span; L = 20 ft
Dead load; DL = 0.50 k/ft
Live load; LL = 0.65 k/ft.
Beam width; b = 12 inches
From ACI code, ultimate load is given as;
W_u = 1.2DL + 1.6LL
Thus;
W_u = 1.2(0.5) + 1.6(0.65)
W_u = 1.64 k/ft
Now, ultimate moment is given by the formula;
M_u = (W_u × L²)/8
M_u = (1.64 × 20²)/8
M_u = 82 k-ft
Since span is 20 ft, it's a bit larger than the average span beams, thus, let's try a depth of d = 25 inches.
Effective depth of a beam is given by the formula;
d_eff = d - clear cover - stirrup diameter - ½Main bar diameter
Now, let's adopt the following;
Clear cover = 1.5"
Stirrup diameter = 0.5"
Main bar diameter = 1"
Thus;
d_eff = 25" - 1.5" - 0.5" - ½(1")
d_eff = 22.5"
Now, let's find steel ratio(ρ) ;
ρ = Total A_s/(b × d_eff)
Now, A_s = ½ × area of main diameter bar
Thus, A_s = ½ × π × 1² = 0.785 in²
Let's use Nominal number of 3 bars as our main diameter bars.
Thus, total A_s = 3 × 0.785
Total A_s = 2.355 in²
Hence;
ρ = 2.355/(22.5 × 12)
ρ = 0.008722
Design moment Capacity is given;
M_n = Φ * ρ * Fy * b * d²[1 – (0.59ρfy/fc’)]/12
Φ is 0.9
f’c = 4,000 psi = 4 kpsi
fy = 60,000 psi = 60 kpsi
M_n = 0.9 × 0.008722 × 60 × 12 × 22.5²[1 - (0.59 × 0.008722 × 60/4)]/12
M_n = 220.03 k-ft
Thus: M_n > M_u
Thus, the beam of 25" depth and 12" width is sufficient.
A compressible fluid flows through a compressor that increases the density from 1 kg/m3 to 5 kg/m3. The cross-sectional area of the inlet pipe is 3 m2 and that of the discharge pipe is 1 m2. The relation between the discharge volume flow rate and the inlet volume flow rate is
Answer:
The relation between the discharge volume flow rate and the inlet volume flow rate is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].
Explanation:
No matter if fluid is compressible or not, mass throughout compressor, a device that works at steady state, must be conserved according to Principle of Mass Conservation:
[tex]\dot m_{in}-\dot m_{out} = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1)
Where [tex]\dot m_{in}[/tex] and [tex]\dot m_{out}[/tex] are mass flows at inlet and outlet, measured in kilograms per second.
After applying Dimensional analysis, we expand the equation above as follows:
[tex]\rho_{in}\cdot \dot V_{in} - \rho_{out}\cdot \dot V_{out} = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)
Where:
[tex]\rho_{in}[/tex], [tex]\rho_{out}[/tex] - Fluid densities at inlet and outlet, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.
[tex]\dot V_{in}[/tex], [tex]\dot V_{out}[/tex] - Volume flow rates at inlet and outlet, measured in cubic meters per second.
After some algebraic handling, we find the following relationship:
[tex]\rho_{out}\cdot \dot V_{out} = \rho_{in}\cdot \dot V_{in}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\dot V_{out}}{V_{in}} = \frac{\rho_{in}}{\rho_{out}}[/tex] (Eq. 3)
If we know that [tex]\rho_{in} = 1\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}[/tex] and [tex]\rho_{out} = 5\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}[/tex], then the relation between the discharge volume flow rate and the inlet volume flow rate is:
[tex]\frac{\dot V_{out}}{\dot V_{in}} = \frac{1\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}} }{5\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\dot V_{out}}{\dot V_{in}} = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
The relation between the discharge volume flow rate and the inlet volume flow rate is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

What must be done before you change the polarity on a welding machine?
ur answer
Answer:
Usually it can be changed by flipping a switch. If your machine does not have one, then you just need to exchange the cables to the electrode holder and ground clamp.
Explanation:
The things that must be done before you change the polarity on a welding machine are coarse and fine adjustment.
What is a welding machine?The heated tool assembly, with two exposed surfaces, and two fixtures for holding the component parts to be welded. The tooling is for bringing the component parts into contact with the heated tool and bringing the molten joint surfaces together to form the weld. And displacement stops on the platen and holding fixtures make up a heated tool welding machine.
Polarity refers to the fact that the electrical circuit formed when you turn on the welder contains a negative and a positive pole. When welding, polarity is crucial, since the weld's strength and quality are affected by the choice of polarity.
Therefore, before changing the polarity of welding equipment, coarse and fine adjustments must be made.

Large wind turbines with blade span diameters of over 100 m are available for electric power generation. Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 100 m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8 m/s. Taking the overall efficiency of the wind turbine to be 32 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3 , determine the electric power generated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8 m/s during a 24-hour period, determine the amount of electric energy and the revenue generated per day for a unit price of $0.09/kWh for electricity
Answer:
The wind turbine generates [tex]19297.222[/tex] kilowatt-hours of electricity daily.
The wind turbine makes a daily revenue of 1736.75 US dollars.
Explanation:
First, we have to determine the stored energy of wind ([tex]E_{wind}[/tex]), measured in Joules, by means of definition of Kinetic Energy:
[tex]E_{wind} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \dot m_{wind}\cdot \Delta t \cdot v_{wind}^{2}[/tex] (Eq. 1)
Where:
[tex]\dot m_{wind}[/tex] - Mass flow of wind, measured in kilograms per second.
[tex]\Delta t[/tex] - Time in which wind acts in a day, measured in seconds.
[tex]v_{wind}[/tex] - Steady wind speed, measured in meters per second.
By assuming constant mass flow and volume flows and using definitions of mass and volume flows, we expand the expression above:
[tex]E_{wind} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot \dot V_{air} \cdot \Delta t \cdot v_{wind}^{2}[/tex] (Eq. 1b)
Where:
[tex]\rho_{air}[/tex] - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.
[tex]\dot V_{air}[/tex] - Volume flow of air through wind turbine, measured in cubic meters per second.
[tex]E_{wind} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot A_{c}\cdot \Delta t\cdot v_{wind}^{3}[/tex] (Eq. 2)
Where [tex]A_{c}[/tex] is the area of the wind flow crossing the turbine, measured in square meters. This area is determined by the following equation:
[tex]A_{c} = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}[/tex] (Eq. 3)
Where [tex]D[/tex] is the diameter of the wind turbine blade, measured in meters.
If we know that [tex]\rho_{air} = 1.25\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}[/tex], [tex]D = 100\,m[/tex], [tex]\Delta t = 86400\,s[/tex] and [tex]v_{wind} = 8\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], the stored energy of the wind in a day is:
[tex]A_{c} = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (100\,m)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A_{c} \approx 7853.982\,m^{2}[/tex]
[tex]E_{wind} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(1.25\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right) \cdot (7853.982\,m^{2})\cdot (86400\,s)\cdot \left(8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{3}[/tex]
[tex]E_{wind} = 2.171\times 10^{11}\,J[/tex]
Now, we proceed to determine the quantity of energy from wind being used by the wind turbine in a day ([tex]E_{turbine}[/tex]), measured in joules, with the help of the definition of efficiency:
[tex]E_{turbine} = \eta\cdot E_{wind}[/tex] (Eq. 4)
Where [tex]\eta[/tex] is the overall efficiency of the wind turbine, dimensionless.
If we get that [tex]E_{wind} = 2.171\times 10^{11}\,J[/tex] and [tex]\eta = 0.32[/tex], then the energy is:
[tex]E_{turbine} = 0.32\cdot (2.171\times 10^{11}\,J)[/tex]
[tex]E_{turbine} = 6.947\times 10^{10}\,J[/tex]
The wind turbine generates [tex]6.947\times 10^{10}[/tex] joules of electricity daily.
A kilowatt-hours equals 3.6 million joules. We calculate the equivalent amount of energy generated by wind turbine in kilowatt-hours:
[tex]E_{turbine} = 6.947\times 10^{10}\,J\times\frac{1\,kWh}{3.6\times 10^{6}\,J}[/tex]
[tex]E_{turbine} = 19297.222\,kWh[/tex]
The wind turbine generates [tex]19297.222[/tex] kilowatt-hours of electricity daily.
Lastly, the revenue generated per day can be found by employing the following:
[tex]C_{rev} = c\cdot E_{turbine}[/tex] (Eq. 5)
Where:
[tex]c[/tex] - Unit price, measured in US dollars per kilowatt-hour.
[tex]C_{rev}[/tex] - Revenue generated by the wind turbine in a day, measured in US dollars.
If we know that [tex]c = 0.09\,\frac{USD}{kWh}[/tex] and [tex]E_{turbine} = 19297.222\,kWh[/tex], then the revenue is:
[tex]C_{rev} = \left(0.09\,\frac{USD}{kWh} \right)\cdot (19297.222\,kWh)[/tex]
[tex]C_{rev} = 1736.75\,USD[/tex]
The wind turbine makes a daily revenue of 1736.75 US dollars.
The site earthwork in Phase III of Four Hills Landfill project included a 3.0 ft deep cut across an entire 2.5-acre site. Soil was excavated from within the proposed Phase III footprint. The average unit weight of this soil is 118 lb/ft3, and the average moisture content is 9.6%. It also has a maximum dry unit weight of 122 lb/ft3 and an optimum moisture content of 11.1%, based on the modified Proctor test. The excavated soil will be placed on a nearby site and compacted to an average relative compaction of 93%. Compute the volume of fill that will be produced and express your answer in cubic yards.
Answer: 11470.4 cubic yards
Explanation:
first we calculate the volume of the site;
V1 = Area × depth
V1 = 2.5 acre × (43560 ft² / 1 acre )×3ft
V1 = 326700 ft
next we is the relative compaction
RC = [γd(field) / γdmax(laboratory)] × 100
so we substitute
93 = [γd(field) / 122 lb/ft³)] × 100
γd(field) = 113.46 lb/ft³
then the dry unit weight of the site
γday1 = γavg / ( 1 + w)
= 118 lb/ft³ / ( 1 + (9.6/100))
= 118 lb/ft³ /1.096
= 107.664 lb/ft³
finally we find the fill volume of the site
V2/V1 = γd / γd(field)
we substitute
V2/326700 = 107.664 / 113.46
V2 = 310010.83 ft³
we convert to cubic yards
= 310010.83 ft³ × (0.037 cubic yard / 1 ft³)
= 11470.4 cubic yards
