Chapter 19, Problem 1RQ
What is the function of a proximity detector?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The function of a proximity detector.
Explanation of Solution
Proximity sensors or detectors are used to sense an object's presence without touching it directly. It stops the detector from wearing and allows it to handle hot red metals. Proximity detectors work on different principles. Many metal detectors detect only iron metals, while others could sense all types of metals.

The stepped rod in sketch is subjected to a tensile
force that varies between 4000 and 7000 lb. The
rod has a machined surface finish everywhere except
the shoulder area,
where a grinding operation has
been performed to improve the fatigue resistance
of the rod. Using a 99% probability of survival,
determine the safety factor for infinite life if
the rod is made of AISI 1080 steel, quenched
and tempered at 800°c Use the Goodman line.

Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 120m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8.25 m/s. Taking the overall efficiency of thewind turbine to be 33 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, determine the electric powergenerated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8.25 m/s during a 24-h period,determine the amount of electric energy and the revenue generated per day for a unit price of$0.08/kWh for electricity.arrow_forwardThe basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building.
