A supplementary grounding electrode is required when the only grounding electrode available is a metal underground water pipe.
What is grounding electrode?
A grounding electrode is a device or conductor that provides a direct electrical connection to the earth. It is used as a reference point for electrical systems to establish a zero potential, or ground, and provide a path for electrical current in the event of a fault.
Examples of grounding electrodes include metal underground water pipes, driven rods, plates, and underground networks of electrodes. These are required for safety and protection of electrical equipment and to limit the voltage to ground during normal operation and fault conditions.

A group of students launches a model rocket in the vertical direction. Based on tracking data, they determine that the altitude of the rocket was 89.6 ft at the end of the powered portion of the flight and that the rocket landed 16.5 s later. The descent parachute failed to deploy so that the rocket fell freely to the ground after reaching its maximum altitude. Assume that g = 32.2 ft/s2.
Determine
(a) the speed v1 of the rocket at the end of powered flight,
(b) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket.
Answer:
[tex]u = 260.22m/s[/tex]
[tex]S_{max} = 1141.07ft[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]S_0 = 89.6ft[/tex] --- Initial altitude
[tex]S_{16.5} = 0ft[/tex] -- Altitude after 16.5 seconds
[tex]a = -g = -32.2ft/s^2[/tex] --- Acceleration (It is negative because it is an upward movement i.e. against gravity)
Solving (a): Final Speed of the rocket
To do this, we make use of:
[tex]S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
The final altitude after 16.5 seconds is represented as:
[tex]S_{16.5} = S_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Substitute the following values:
[tex]S_0 = 89.6ft[/tex] [tex]S_{16.5} = 0ft[/tex] [tex]a = -g = -32.2ft/s^2[/tex] and [tex]t = 16.5[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]0 = 89.6 + u * 16.5 - \frac{1}{2} * 32.2 * 16.5^2[/tex]
[tex]0 = 89.6 + u * 16.5 - \frac{1}{2} * 8766.45[/tex]
[tex]0 = 89.6 + 16.5u- 4383.225[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]16.5u = -89.6 +4383.225[/tex]
[tex]16.5u = 4293.625[/tex]
Make u the subject
[tex]u = \frac{4293.625}{16.5}[/tex]
[tex]u = 260.21969697[/tex]
[tex]u = 260.22m/s[/tex]
Solving (b): The maximum height attained
First, we calculate the time taken to attain the maximum height.
Using:
[tex]v=u + at[/tex]
At the maximum height:
[tex]v =0[/tex] --- The final velocity
[tex]u = 260.22m/s[/tex]
[tex]a = -g = -32.2ft/s^2[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]0 = 260.22 - 32.2t[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]32.2t = 260.22[/tex]
Make t the subject
[tex]t = \frac{260.22}{ 32.2}[/tex]
[tex]t = 8.08s[/tex]
The maximum height is then calculated as:
[tex]S_{max} = S_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]S_{max} = 89.6 + 260.22 * 8.08 - \frac{1}{2} * 32.2 * 8.08^2[/tex]
[tex]S_{max} = 89.6 + 260.22 * 8.08 - \frac{1}{2} * 2102.22[/tex]
[tex]S_{max} = 89.6 + 260.22 * 8.08 - 1051.11[/tex]
[tex]S_{max} = 1141.0676[/tex]
[tex]S_{max} = 1141.07ft[/tex]
Hence, the maximum height is 1141.07ft

Explanation:
A cylindrical bar of metal having a diameter of 15.7 mm and a length of 178 mm is deformed elastically in tension with a force of 49100 N. Given that the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the metal are 67.1 GPa and 0.34 respectively, Determine the following:(a) The amount by which this specimen will elongate (in mm) in the direction of the applied stress. The entry field with incorrect answer now contains modified data.(b) The change in diameter of the specimen (in mm). Indicate an increase in diameter with a positive number and a decrease with a negative number.
Answer:
0.6727
-0.02017
Explanation:
diameter = 15.7
l = 178
E =elastic modulus = 67.1 Gpa
poisson ratio = 0.34
p = force = 49100N
first we calculate the area of the cross section
[tex]A=\frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac{\pi }{4} (15.7)^{2} \\A = \frac{774.683}{4} \\[/tex]
A = 193.6mm²
1. Change in directon of the applied stress
[tex]= \frac{pl}{AE}[/tex]
= 49100*178/193.6*67.1*10³
= [tex]=\frac{8739800}{12990560}[/tex]
δl = 0.6727 mm
2. change in diameter of the specimen
equation for poisson distribution =
m = -(δd/d) / (δl/l)
0.34 = (δd/15.7) / (0.6727/178)
0.34 = (-δd * 178) / 15.7 * 0.6727
0.34 = -178δd / 10.56139
we cross multiply
10.56139*0.34 =-178δd
3.5908726 = -178δd
δd = 3.5908726/-178
δd = -0.02017 mm
the change in dimeter has a negative sign. it decreases

A single crystal of a metal that has the FCC crystal structure is oriented such that a tensile stress is applied parallel to the [100] direction. If the critical resolved shear stress for this material is 2.00 MPa, calculate the magnitude of applied stress necessary to cause slip to occur on the (111) plane in the direction.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
The equation for applied stress can be expressed as:
[tex]\sigma_{app} = \dfrac{\tau_{CRSS}}{cos \phi \ cos \lambda}[/tex]
where;
[tex]\phi[/tex] = angle between the applied stress [100] and [111]
To determine the [tex]\phi[/tex] and [tex]\lambda[/tex] for the system
Using the equation:
[tex]\phi= cos^{-1}\Big [\dfrac{l_1l_2+m_1m_2+n_1n_2}{\sqrt{(l_1^2+m_1^2+n_1^2)(l_2^2+m_2^2+n_2^2)}}\Big][/tex]
for [100]
[tex]l_1 = 1, m_1 = 0, n_1 = 0[/tex]
for [111]
[tex]l_1 = 1 , m_1 = 1, n_1 = 1[/tex]
Thus;
[tex]\phi= cos^{-1}\Big [\dfrac{1*1+0*1+0*1}{\sqrt{(1^2+0^2+0^2)(1^2+1^2+1^2)}}\Big][/tex]
[tex]\phi= cos^{-1}\Big [\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(3)}}\Big][/tex]
[tex]\phi= 54.74^0[/tex]
To determine [tex]\lambda[/tex] for [tex][1 \overline 1 0][/tex]
where;
for [100]
[tex]l_1 = 1, m_1 = 0, n_1 = 0[/tex]
for [tex][1 \overline 1 0][/tex]
[tex]l_1 = 1 , m_1 = -1, n_1 = 0[/tex]
Thus;
[tex]\lambda= cos^{-1}\Big [\dfrac{1*1+0*1+0*0}{\sqrt{(1^2+0^2+0^2)(1^2+(-1)^2+0^2)}}\Big][/tex]
[tex]\phi= cos^{-1}\Big [\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(2)}}\Big][/tex]
[tex]\phi= 45^0[/tex]
Thus, the magnitude of the applied stress can be computed as:
[tex]\sigma_{app} = \dfrac{\tau_{CRSS}}{cos \phi \ cos \lambda }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{app} = \dfrac{2.00}{cos (54.74) \ cos (45) }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\sigma_{app} =4.89 \ MPa}[/tex]

a. parameter criteria, double criteria
b. function criteria, IF criteria
c. simple criteria, complex criteria
d. OR criteria, AND criteria
Answer:
d
Explanation:
OR criteria, AND criteria
In an OR criteria, it doesn't need all the records to be true. Just one record is enough and all other criterion becomes true.
In an AND criteria, it's unlike the OR criteria and works in opposite. It needs every member of the record to be true to be able to adjudge the whole record as true.
And as such, we have
With OR criteria, only one criterion must evaluate true in order for a record to be selected and with AND criteria, all criteria must be evaluate true in order for a record to be selected.

If the sum of the two numbers is 4 and the sum of their squares minus three times their product is 76,find the number
Answer:
-2 and 6
Explanation:
Let "x" and "y" be 2 numbers.
The sum of the two numbers is 4. The mathematical expression is:
x + y = 4
y = 4 - x [1]
The sum of their squares minus three times their product is 76. The mathematical expression is:
x² + y² - 3 x y = 76 [2]
If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:
x² + (4 - x)² - 3 x (4 - x) = 76
x² + 16 - 8 x + x² - 12 x + 3 x² = 76
5 x² - 20 x - 60 = 0
We apply the solving formula for second order equations and we get x₁ = 6 and x₂ = -2.
If we replace these x values in [1], we get:
y₁ = 4 - x₁ = 4 - 6 = -2
y₂ = 4 - x₂ = 4 - (-2) = 6
As a consequence, one of the numbers is 6 and the other is -2.

[tex]\sigma_{r2}=K(\varepsilon_{r2})^n[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\sigma_{r1}}{[\In \frac{I_{il}}{I_{01}}]^n} \times [\In \frac{I_{i2}}{I_{02}}]^n\\\\=\frac{399 \ MPa}{[In \frac{54.4}{47.7}]^{0.2}} \times [In \frac{57.8}{47.7}]^{0.2}\\\\ =\frac{399 \ MPa}{[ In (1.14046122)]^{0.2}} \times [In (1.21174004)]^{0.2}\\\\ =\frac{399 \ MPa}{[ In (1.02663509)]} \times [In 1.03915873]\\\\=\frac{399 \ MPa}{0.0114161042} \times 0.0166818905\\\\= 399 \ MPa \times 1.46125948\\\\=583.042533\ \ MPa[/tex]
During a shrinkage limit test, a 19.3 cm3 saturated clay sample with a mass of 37 g was placed in a porcelain dish and dried in the oven. The oven-dried sample had a mass of 28 g with a final volume of 16 cm3 . Determine the shrinkage limit and the shrinkage ratio.
Answer:
shrinkae limit = 20.35%
shrinkage ratio = 1.45
Explanation:
1. to get the shrinkage limit we would first calculate the moisture content w.
w = (37-28)/28
= 9/28
= 0.3214
then the formula for shrinkage limit is
[tex][w-\frac{(V-Vd}{wd} ]*100[/tex]
w = 0.3214
V = 19.3
Vd = 16
Wd = 28
when we put these values into the formula:
[tex][0.3214-\frac{(19.3-16)}{28} ]*100\\[/tex]
= 20.35%
2. the shrinkage limit = Wd/V
= 28/19.3
= 1.45
What current works best when the operator
encounters magnetic arc blow?
•DCEP
•ACEN
•CC
•AC
Answer:
AC
Explanation:
One situation when alternating current would work better than direct current is if the operator is encountering magnetic arc blow.
Current works best when the operator encounters magnetic arc blow is AC
Magnetic arc blow is simply defined as the arc deflection due to the warping of the magnetic field that is produced by electric arc current.
This is caused as a result of the following;
- if the material being welded has residual magnetism at an intolerable level
- When the weld root is being made, and the welding current is direct current which indicates constant direction and maintains constant polarity (either positive or negative).
Since it is caused by DC(Direct Current) which means constant polarity , it means the opposite will be better which is AC(alternating current) because it means that electricity direction will be switching to and fro and as such the polarity will also be revered in response to this back and forth switch manner.Thus, Current works best when the operator encounters magnetic arc blow is AC

Explanation:
Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. On the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year. On the second site, the wind blows steadily at 10 m/s for 2000 hours per year. The density of air on the both sites is 1.25 kg/m3 . Assuming the wind power generation is negligible during other times.Calculate the maximum power of wind on each site per unit area, in kW/m2 .
Solution :
Given :
[tex]$V_1 = 7 \ m/s$[/tex]
Operation time, [tex]$T_1$[/tex] = 3000 hours per year
[tex]$V_2 = 10 \ m/s$[/tex]
Operation time, [tex]$T_2$[/tex] = 2000 hours per year
The density, ρ = [tex]$1.25 \ kg/m^3$[/tex]
The wind blows steadily. So, the K.E. = [tex]$(0.5 \dot{m} V^2)$[/tex]
[tex]$= \dot{m} \times 0.5 V^2$[/tex]
The power generation is the time rate of the kinetic energy which can be calculated as follows:
Power = [tex]$\Delta \ \dot{K.E.} = \dot{m} \frac{V^2}{2}$[/tex]
Regarding that [tex]$\dot m \propto V$[/tex]. Then,
Power [tex]$ \propto V^3$[/tex] → Power = constant x [tex]$V^3$[/tex]
Since, [tex]$\rho_a$[/tex] is constant for both the sites and the area is the same as same winf turbine is used.
For the first site,
Power, [tex]$P_1= \text{const.} \times V_1^3$[/tex]
[tex]$P_1 = \text{const.} \times 343 \ W$[/tex]
For the second site,
Power, [tex]$P_2 = \text{const.} \times V_2^3 \ W$[/tex]
[tex]$P_2 = \text{const.} \times 1000 \ W$[/tex]

Explanation:
An air heater may be fabricated by coiling Nichrome wire and passing air in cross flow over the wire. Consider a heater fabricated from wire of diameter D=1 mm, electrical resistivity rhoe=10−6Ω⋅m, thermal conductivity k=25W/m⋅K, and emissivity ε=0.20. The heater is designed to deliver air at a temperature of T[infinity]=50∘C under flow conditions that provide a convection coefficient of h=250W/m2⋅K for the wire. The temperature of the housing that encloses the wire and through which the air flows is Tsur=50∘C. If the maximum allowable temperature of the wire is Tmax=1200∘C, what is the maximum allowable electric current I? If the maximum available voltage is ΔE=110V, what is the corresponding length L of wire that may be used in the heater and the power rating of the heater? Hint: In your solution, assume negligible temperature variations within the wire, but after obtaining the desired results, assess the validity of this assumption.
Solution :
Assuming that the wire has an uniform temperature, the equivalent convective heat transfer coefficient is given as :
[tex]$h_T= \epsilon \sigma (T_s+T_{surr})(T_s^2 +T^2_{surr})$[/tex]
[tex]$h_T= 0.20 \times 5.67 \times 10^{-8} (1473+323)(1473^2 +323^2)$[/tex]
[tex]$h_T=46.3 \ W/m^2 .K$[/tex]
The total heat transfer coefficient will be :
[tex]$h_T=(250+46.3) \ W/m^2 .K$[/tex]
[tex]$=296.3 \ W/m^2 .K$[/tex]
Now calculating the maximum volumetric heat generation :
[tex]$\dot {q}_{max}=\frac{2h_t}{r_0}(T_s-T_{\infty})$[/tex]
[tex]$\dot {q}_{max}=\frac{2\times 296.3}{0.0005}(1200-50)$[/tex]
[tex]$= 1.362 \times 10^{9} \ W/m^3$[/tex]
The heat generation inside the wire is given as :
[tex]$\dot{q} = \frac{I^2R}{V}$[/tex]
Here, R is the resistance of the wire
V is the volume of the wire
∴ [tex]$\dot{q} = \frac{I^2\left( \rho \times \frac{L}{A} \right)}{A \times L}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{I^2 \rho}{\left(\frac{\pi}{4}D^2 \right)}$[/tex]
where, ρ is the resistivity.
[tex]$I_{max}= \left(\frac{\dot{q}_{max}}{\rho} \right)^{1/2} \times \frac{\pi}{4}D^2$[/tex]
[tex]$I_{max}= \left(\frac{1.36 \times 10^9}{10^{-6}} \right)^{1/2} \times \frac{3.14}{4}(1 \times 10^{-3})^2$[/tex]
= 28.96 A
Now considering the relation for the current flow through the finite potential difference.
[tex]$E=I_{max} \times R$[/tex]
[tex]$E=I_{max} \times \rho \times \frac{L}{A}$[/tex]
[tex]$L=\frac{AE}{I_{max} \ \rho}$[/tex]
[tex]$L=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4} \times (1 \times 10^{-3})^2 \times 110}{28.96 \times 10^{-6}}$[/tex]
= 2.983 m
Now calculating the power rating of the heater:
[tex]$P= E \times I_{max}$[/tex]
[tex]$P= 110 \times 28.96}$[/tex]
= 3185.6 W
= 3.1856 kW

Here, [tex]$q_u$[/tex] is the unconfined compression strength of the soil;
[tex]$c = \frac{800}{2}$[/tex]
= 400 psf
∴ The cohesion value is greater than 0
So the use of the angle of internal friction is 0
Referring to the table relation between bearing capacity factors and angle of internal friction.
For the angle of inter friction [tex]$0^\circ$[/tex]
[tex]$N_c = 5.14$[/tex]
[tex]$N_q = 1.0$[/tex]
[tex]$N_r = 0$[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]$q_{ult} = (400 \times 5.14 )+(110 \times 3 \times 1.0)+(0.5 \times 100 \times 13 \times 0)$[/tex]
= 2386 psf
∴ Allowable bearing capacity [tex]$q_{a} = \frac{Q_{allow}}{A}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{30}{B^2}$[/tex]
∴ [tex]$q_a = \frac{q_{ult}}{F.O.S}$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{30}{B^2} = \frac{2386}{3}$[/tex]
∴ B = 0.2 ft
Therefore, the dimension of the square footing is 0.2 ft x 0.2 ft
[tex]$=0.04 \ ft^2$[/tex]
