For the following dimensional equation, find the base dimensions of the parameter h. It-1h...
 
h = It-1 = IN-1t-1       N
3
The power cord on an electric string trimmer carries a current of 5.2 A. How many milli- amperes...
 
There are 103 mA and 106 uA in 1 A. Thus, 5.2 A = 5.2 × 103 mA = 5.2 × 106uA
4
Write the voltage 0.00255 V using the appropriate SI unit prefix.
 
0.00255V =2.55×103 V= 2.55mV

A rock (p = 2300 kg/m3) is suspended by a single rope. Assuming the rock to be spherical with...
 
If the weight of the rope itself is neglected, the tension in the rope is equivalent to the...
7
A micro switch is an electrical switch that requires only a small force to operate it. If a...
 
0.25 oz × 1 lbf  × 1 N                ...
8
Standard incandescent light bulbs produce more heat than light. Assuming that a typical house...
 
0.9 × 20 × 60W × 3.4121Btu/h =             ...
9
A crane hoists a large pallet of materials from the ground to the top of a building. In hoisting...
 
Power is defined as the rate of doing work. Thus, the units for power in the SI system are J/s,...
10
A highway sign is supported by two posts as shown. The sign is constructed of a high- density...
 
The weight of the sign is W=mg= Vpg            = (2.5 m)(1.3...
11
The yield stress for structural steel is approximately 250 MPa. Convert this value to units of...
 
250 MPa × 145.04 psi = 3.63 × 104 psi           ...
12
The dimension moment, sometimes referred to as torque, is defined as a force multiplied by...
 
The quantities work, energy and heat are also expressed in SI units of Nm. One newton- meter...
13
A spherical tank with a radius of 0.25 m is filled with water (p = 1000 kg/m3). Calculate the...
 
The mass of the water is m = pV = p (4/3)pi•R3 = (1000 kg/m3)(4/3)pi(0.25 m)3 = 65.5...
14
A copper plate measuring 1.2 m × 0.8 m × 3 mm has a density of p = 8940 kg/m3. Find the mass...
 
The mass of the plate is m= pV= p(LWH) = (8940 kg/m3)(1.2 m)(0.8 m)(0.003 m) = 25.75 kg The...
