Inside and outside micrometers measure inside and outside:
diameters
Micrometers measure the diameter of cylindrical objects. Outside micrometers measure the external diameter of cylinders and inside micrometers measure the internal diameter of the cylinder's hole.
If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 24 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
You have 24 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{24}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{24 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{2400}{350} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.
What type of load acts on a relatively small area of a structure?
concentrated load
A concentrated load acts on a relatively small area of a structure, a static uniformly distributed load doesn't create specific stress points or vary with time, a dynamic load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement, an impact load is sudden and for a relatively short duration and a non-uniformly distributed load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure.
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 6 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{6}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{6 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{30}{100} \) = 0.3 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.3 = 4.7 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 4.7 = 84.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.
Which of the following allows encapsulating complex circuit designs for easier integration into electronic devices and machines?
integrated circuits
Circuits containing transistors are packaged into integrated circuit chips that allow encapsulating complex circuit designs (CPU, memory, I/O) for easier integration into electronic devices and machines.
Which of the following regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston?
camshaft
The camshaft is linked to the crankshaft through a timing belt and regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston. An engine designated OverHead Camshaft (OHC) locates the camshaft in the cylinder head. An engine with Double OverHead Camshaft (DOHC) has two camshafts, one to regulate the intake valves and one to regulate the exhaust valves.
This circuit component symbol represents a(n):
capacitor
Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.
Most digestion takes place where?
small intestine
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
