Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1TYC
To determine
To explain: The primary layers that make up our planet and what portion does the lithospheres include.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1TYC
The layers of the Earth include the dense inner core, outer mantle and the outermost layer called as the crust.
Explanation of Solution
Earth consists of land, water, rocky material, and air with gases like oxygen, and carbon-dioxide which are necessary for the survival of the human beings, animals, and plants. Earth consists of various minerals and metal elements like iron and nickel, in the rocky layers.
The primary layers of Earth include:
1) The center layer is called as the dense core layer consisting of the rocky material. The inner layer of this core is dense with solid material and outer layer is molten.
2) The outer layer is called as mantle. It contains soft rocks. There is tremendous heat in this zone which causes the formation of cyclic currents called as convection currents.
3) The outer most layer is the layer of crust. It contains thin rocks with low density. It is the outer-most layer of Earth.
The lithosphere includes the topmost part of mantle and the entire crust. The movement of the rocky material is caused by the high temperature which drags the plates of the lithosphere. These are called as plate tectonics. It is also called asthenosphere.

G(s)
The plant transfer function is given by
G(s) =

(s + 2)(s + 10)
You want the system to have a damping ratio of 0.3 for unit step response. What is the
value of K you need to choose to achieve the desired damping ratio? For that value of
K, find the steady-state error for ramp input and settling time for step input.
Hint: Sketch the root locus and find the point in the root locus that intersects with z =
0.3 line.

- Consider, M people (aka pax) who want to travel by car from O to D. They all start working at D at Q (e.g., Q-8am). If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time]. In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person arrived when departing at time t). Assume 0 < a < 1 < ß. Further assume the departure time choice problem under the equilibrium conditions. Prove that the arrival time of people who depart when most of the M people start their trips is equal to Q.arrow_forwardCreate the PLC ladder logic diagram for the logic gate circuit displayed in Figure 7-35.
