Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

The value of normal temperature of a human body can varies from 97°F to 99°F. It can be vary based the person’s age and weather temperature. When the body temperature rises greater than the normal range then it considered as illness. The normal temperature of human body is different in children to adults. It is also varies due to the seasons winter, summer and spring to balance the temperature of the human body.

The normal temperature of human body also changes due the muscle metabolism while doing daily exercises.

The normal temperature of a human body can varies from 97°F to 99°F.

Explanation of Solution

The normal temperature of a human body can varies from 97°F to 99°F. The body temperature more than normal temperature is considered as an illness. The temperature range in adults is about 99.7°F, for children’s is about 100.6°F of the armpit temperature.

Using the knowledge of the temperature ranges of human body it easy to identify the illness and health condition and also it is easy to provide proper medication for the affected person.

Explanation of Solution

The normal surface temperature (skin temperature ) of a human body is exists between 97.7°F to 99.5°F. It is not a constant value at all the times; it varies based on human organs efficiency, temperature change in weather, and due to body metabolism.

Generally, in humans pregnant ladies have the high surface temperature due increased blood pressure. Children’s skin temperature is a bit higher than the adults.

d.

To determine

State the comfortable room temperature, and explain significance in terms of human thermal comfort. Explain the role of humidity.

Explanation of Solution

According to the standards of the WHO (worlds health organization) the normal comfortable room temperature is 68°Fto72°F. The comfortable room temperature oh the human is varies by the age and status of the health.

Generally for healthy adults comfortable room temperature is 64°F, if the person has illness they are highly recommended the normal room temperature 61°F. In case of the children and the old age persons the normal room temperature is little bit higher than the adults that is 68°F.

The water vapor percentage in the air is known as humidity or humidity factor. It is the environmental factor that affects the human thermal comfort

For example, the comfortable room temperature for human body is 40 to 50% of relative humidity and 70°F of average temperature.

Humidity increases the body temperature because of overheat, and increases the moisture in the air. Humidity might cause for the dangerous health issues.

If a person doing some exercise, that person can feel more comfortable in a room that has lower than 70°F of temperature due to the body metabolism can produce the heat over the skin.

e.

To determine

Investigate the value of operating temperature range of the freezer in a household temperature.

Explanation of Solution

The household refrigerator temperature is about or below the 40°F that is equals to 4°C. The frozen temperature of the refrigerator is 0°F equals to 17.9°C18°C. The frozen temperature is the safe temperature level to store the frozen food.

The frozen food is that which requires keep storing in cool place under frozen temperatures from its prepared time to eaten.

Thus, the temperature of the freezer of a household refrigerator is 18°C0°F.

Procedure: 1- Define your Cartesian system. 2- Identify the structure's supports and the type of structure (2D) or 3D 3- If the structure has more than one element dismember the structure and draw free body diagram (show all actions and reactions) on each element independently. Tip: Pulley is a member Rope is not an element because it is flexible, but it shows the force (substitute it with a force) If the Structure has one element draw free body diagram for the element. Tips to show forces on the free body diagram: 3.1- Determine the type of the supports 3.2- Show the unknown support reactions with any assumed direction, BUT you cannot change the assumed force direction once you decide. 3.3- In a common joint, you can decide on the force direction in one element, however, in the other one you need to follow the Newton's 3rd law and show the opposite direction. 3.4- If you have multiple action forces in the system, find force components for each force independently.
