Chapter 12, Problem 1RQ
What is the purpose of sequence control?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Identify the purpose of sequence control.
Explanation of Solution
The purpose of sequence control is to maintain the predetermined order at which the motors are forced to start or stop. One motor cannot start unit its predecessor is in operation.
Machines that have high pressure pump operation like the hydraulic press or systems that requires a blower to be in operation before stating the compressor like the air-conditioning systems use the sequence control.

- 11.2 Boxes A and B are at rest on a conveyer belt that is initially at rest. The belt suddenly starts in an upward direction so that slipping instantly occurs between the belt and the boxes. The kinetic friction coefficients between the belt and the boxes are μk,A = 0.3 and μk,B = 0.32. Determine the initial acceleration of each box. Will the blocks stay together, or separate? 80 lb 100 lb A B 15° Hint: to see if the boxes stay together or separate, first assume they separate, and see if their resulting motion (acceleration) validates that assumption. If the their motion is not consistent with the assumption of separation, then they must stay together.arrow_forwardAn ideal gas is enclosed in a cylinder which has a movable piston.
