Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

For the component that are used to start are generally normally open as initially they have open contacts and as the component is turned on the contacts get closed and the circuit starts to work.

Consider the Figure 28-2 the start button here is used to start the operation of the circuit and the other start button here is used to start the operation of the circuit. Where the other start button is connected in parallel to the already existing start button. So any one of both the switches can energize the coil M. Thus, the energized coil changes the position of the M contacts of the circuit. The contacts between the line and the load is then closed and the work starts. As the start button is released, the parallel connected auxiliary contacts gets closed and the circuit operation continues.

Thus, the switch is of normally open type.

The 2-mass system shown below depicts a disk which rotates about its center and has rotational moment of inertia Jo and radius r. The angular displacement of the disk is given by 0. The spring with constant k₂ is attached to the disk at a distance from the center. The mass m has linear displacement & and is subject to an external force u. When the system is at equilibrium, the spring forces due to k₁ and k₂ are zero. Neglect gravity and aerodynamic drag in this problem. You may assume the small angle approximation which implies (i) that the springs and dampers remain in their horizontal / vertical configurations and (ii) that the linear displacement d of a point on the edge of the disk can be approximated by d≈re.

A linear system is one that satisfies the principle of superposition. In other words, if an input u₁ yields the output y₁, and an input u2 yields the output y2, the system is said to be linear if a com- bination of the inputs u = u₁ + u2 yield the sum of the outputs y = y1 + y2. Using this fact, determine the output y(t) of the following linear system: given the input: P(s) = = Y(s) U(s) = s+1 s+10 u(t) = e−2+ sin(t) =e
The manometer fluid in the figure given below is mercury where D = 3 in and h = 1 in. Estimate the volume flow in the tube (ft3/s) if the flowing fluid is gasoline at 20°C and 1 atm. The density of mercury and gasoline are 26.34 slug/ft3 and 1.32 slug/ft3 respectively. The gravitational force is 32.2 ft/s2.
