Concept explainers
(a)
To explain:
Why the function giving the vertical factor V in terms of the nozzle diameter d (measured in inches) is linear.
(b)
To calculate:
A formula to express V as a linear function of d
(c)
To calculate:
The distance a vertical stream travel if the pressure is 50 pounds per square inch and the nozzle diameter is 1.75 inches.
(d)
To calculate:
Whether a vertical stream of water reach the fire when Firefighters have a nozzle with a diameter of 1.25 inches. The pumber generates a pressure of 70 pounds per square inch. From street level, they need to get on a fire 60 feet overhead.

- Electrical resistance The resistance of a wire varies directly as the length of the wire and inversely as the square of its diameter. A 1000-foot length of wire, 0.05 inch in diameter, has a resistance of 200 ohms. What would be the resistance of a 1500-foot length of wire that is 0.08 inch in diameter.arrow_forwardLeaf blower the intensity of the sound from a certain leaf blower is measured at 3.2102W/m2 .find the describe 1level .arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forward
- Express the given quantity in terms of the indicated variable. The total rent paid for an apartment if the rent is $795 a month; n=number of monthsarrow_forwardApplications Set up and solve the required proportion. Heat dissipation The power, in watts, dissipated as heat in a resistor varies directly with the square of the voltage and inversely with the resistance. If 20 volts are placed across a 20-ohm resistor, it will dissipate 20 watts. What voltage across a 10-ohm resistor will dissipate 40 watts?arrow_forwardThe force needed to break a board varies inversely with its length. Richard uses 24 pounds of pressure to break a 2-foot long board. a. Write the equation of variation. b. How many pounds of pressure is needed to break a 5-foot long board?arrow_forward
- Heart Disease In a certain country, the number of deaths due to heart disease decreased from 235 in one year to 221 in the next year. What percentage decrease in deaths due to heart disease does this represent?arrow_forwardFind the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meter if I0=14 and k=0.7. Round to two decimals.arrow_forward
