Chapter 41, Problem 1RQ
To answer the following questions refer to the circuit in Figure 41–6.
The pressure switch is shown as:
- a. Normally open
- b. Normally closed
- c. Normally open held closed
- d. Normally closed held open
Expert Solution & Answer

To determine
The state of the pressure switch used in the circuit shown in Figure 41-6.
Explanation of Solution
Refer text book Figure 41-6.
The pressure switch shown in the circuit has its movable contact above the fixed contact. Hence, the pressure switch is normally closed and kept open for the circuitry purpose. This switch is called a “normally closed held open switch”. The schematic of normally closed held open pressure switch is shown in Figure 1 below:
Thus, the correct answer is “option d. normally closed held open”.

This problem studies the response of two single degree of freedom bridge systems shown in Figure 1 under three loading cases. The problem has two parts. Part A and Part B use the same loading cases but the system is modified. Assume the following three loading cases in both Part A and Part B: (a) Harmonic wind load acting on the bridge deck pw(t) = powsin(ωwt) with amplitude pow and forcing circular frequency ωw. (b) Harmonic displacement base excitation acting at the base of the bridge pier ug(t) = ugosin(ωgt) with amplitude ugo and displacement circular frequency ωg. (c) Rectangular pulse load acting on the bridge deck with amplitude pop and pulse duration td.
Part A The system includes part of a bridge deck and a bridge pier shown in Figure 1(a). For each loading case find the symbolic expression of the peak shear force in the bridge pier assuming the following: • The bridge deck is rigid and it has a mass m. • The bridge deck is rigidly connected with the bridge pier (i.e.,…
