The objective of this question is to give the missing
information about the reading of thermocouple type J.
The temperatures are in degrees Celsius.
The temperature is 100 degrees and the
reference is 50. The reading voltage is (mV)
Choose...
The temperature is 95 and the reference is
zero, so the voltage is (mV)
Choose...
The reference is 30 and the reading voltage
is 8.687 mV, The temperature is

Refer to the Worksheet shown, set up to calculate the displacement of a spring. Hooke's law states that the force (F, in newtons) applied to a spring is equal to the stiffness of the spring (k, in newtons per meter) times the displacement {x, in meters): F= kx.
;Chapter 10, Problem 161CA, Refer to the Worksheet shown, set up to calculate the displacement of a spring. Hooke's law states
Cell A3 contains a data validation list of springs. The stiffness (cell 83) and maximum displacement (cell C3) values are found using a VLOOKUP function linked to the table shown at the right side of the worksheet. These data are then used to determine the displacement of the spring at various mass values. A warning is issued if the displacement determined is greater than the maximum displacement for the spring. Use this information to determine the answers to the following questions.
Write the expression, in Excel notation, that you would type into cell 86 to determine the displacement of the spring.…
1–2. Figure C1.2 shows a mechanism that is typical in the
tank of a water closet. Note that flapper C is hollow
and filled with trapped air. Carefully examine the
configuration of the components in the mechanism.
Then answer the following leading questions to gain
insight into the operation of the mechanism.
1. As the handle A is rotated counterclockwise, what is
the motion of flapper C?
2. When flapper C is raised, what effect is seen?
3. When flapper C is lifted, it tends to remain in an
upward position for a period of time. What causes
this tendency to keep the flapper lifted?
4. When will this tendency (to keep flapper C lifted)
cease
