Explanation

Hard solder is the correct answer because it is commonly used in the repair of thermocouple wiring. Hard solder has a higher melting point compared to soft solder, making it more suitable for high-temperature applications like thermocouples. It provides a strong and durable joint that can withstand the harsh conditions and maintain accurate temperature readings. Zinc and tin solders have lower melting points and are typically used for low-temperature applications, so they would not be suitable for repairing thermocouple wiring.

73. Drag is produced by friction and

Explanation

Drag is a force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid, such as air or water. It is produced by the friction between the fluid and the surface of the object, as well as the turbulence created in the fluid flow. Turbulence refers to the chaotic and irregular motion of the fluid, which can cause fluctuations in pressure and velocity. These fluctuations contribute to the generation of drag. Therefore, turbulence is a significant factor in the production of drag.
