- The 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_forwardThe National Weather Service uses the following formula to calculate the wind chill:W = 35.74 + 0.6215 Ta − 35.75 V0.16 + 0.4275 Ta V0.16where W is the wind chill temperature in ◦F, Ta is the air temperature in ◦F, and V is thewind speed in miles per hour. Note that W is defined only for air temperatures at or lowerthan 50◦F and wind speeds above 3 miles per hour.(a) Suppose the air temperature is 42◦ and the wind speed is 7 miles per hour. Find thewind chill temperature. Round your answer to two decimal places.(b) Suppose the air temperature is 37◦F and the wind chill temperature is 30◦F. Find thewind speed. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardCalculate the value of “x” from the following figure.arrow_forward
- a is equal to 0.1arrow_forwardAn experiment is conducted on a container of gas that is kept at a constant temperature. When the pressure on the gas is 30 pounds per square inch, the volume is 120 cubic inches. When the pressure on the gas is 40 pounds per square inch, the volume is 90 cubic inches. Let p represent the pressure of gas. Let v represent the volume of gas. A.The volume of the gas varies inversely with the pressure because v=4p. B.The volume of the gas varies directly with the pressure because vp=3600. C.The volume of the gas varies inversely with the pressure because vp=3600. D.The volume of the gas varies directly with the pressure because v=4p.arrow_forwardT = -pi/2arrow_forward

- A severe storm has an average peak wave height of u=16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a reading of 38 waves showed an average weight height of x=16.9 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that o=3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is increasing above the severe rating?
