Crop damage due to frost is one of the many risks confronting farmers. The figure below shows a simple alarm circuit designed to warn of frost. The alarm circuit uses a device called a thermistor to sound a buzzer when the temperature drops below freezing. Thermistors are semiconductor devices that exhibit a temperature dependent resistance described by the equation
where R is the resistance, in Ω, at the temperature T, in °K, and R0 is the resistance, in Ω, at the temperature T0, in °K. β is a constant that depends on the material used to make the thermistor.
The circuit is designed so that the alarm will sound when
The thermistor used in the alarm circuit has R0 = 33,192 Ω at T0 = 40 °c, and β = 3,310 °K. (Notice that β has units of °K. The temperature in °K is obtained by adding 273° to the temperature in °C.) The resistors R2, R3, and R4 have a resistance of 156.3 kΩ = 156,300 Ω.

- (Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft). Eisthemodulesofelasticity( lbs/f t 2 ).Iisthesecondmomentofinertia( f t 4 ). For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forwardName: A parallel circuit has five ½ W (0.5W each) resistors with the following values: R1 = 1.8k ohms R2 = 2.2k ohms R3 = 3.3k ohms R4 = 3.9k ohms R5 = 4.7 k ohms As you increase the voltage across the parallel circuit, the total current slowly increases. Suddenly, the total current drops to a lower value. 1) Excluding a power supply failure, what happened? Include the schematic. 2) What is the maximum voltage you should have applied? Show all your work and formula. 3) Specifically, what must be done to repair the circuit and how can this situation be avoided in the future? 4) There are 250 mA in a parallel circuit with a total resistance of 1.5k Q. The current must be increased by 25%. How does the resistance need to be adjusted in the parallel to accomplish this?arrow_forward1Using Python use a numerical method find the minimum value for the bond distance of a molecule using the Lennard-Jones molecule by means of the Lennard-Jones potential.
