    How Can I Design a Temperature Control Unit Using Light?

    hi everybody i need to design a temperature control unit that works in acordance to light, ie: when there is minimal light then the heating element must come on, and when there is lots of light the heating element must go off... these are the following specs of the design: -555 timer must...

    Sound Intensity of a workplace

    My attempt: β_1=90.0 dB,β_2=92.0 dB B2-B1= 10log(I1/I0)-10log(I2/I0) =10log(I2/I0/I1/I0) =10log(I2/I1) 0.2 =log(I2/I1) Therefore: I2/I1=10^(0.2)= 1.58 32 machines/1.58 ≈20 The number of machines that must be removed is 32-20=12 Is that right?

    Sound Intensity of a workplace

    Accoding to US government regulations, the maximum sound intensity levels in the workplace is 90,0 dB. Within one factory, 32 ihdentical machines produce a sound intensity level of 92,0 dB. How many machines must be removed to bring the factory into compliance with the regulation? Possible...

    Expressing a function as Heaviside function

    I have a question: given a piecewise function, f(t)= {t when t<=0 ,0 when 0<t<=1, 1-t when t>1. How do express it as a Heaviside function? I have tried to do the solution which is : f(t)= (1-t)*H(t-1)+t*H(t). Here I have considered two non-zero portions of f(t), which are t and 1-t. Is that...

    How Do You Sketch and Transform a Piecewise-Defined Function?

    Hi HallsofIvy, I understand now, but the last graph isn't supposed to be (2,1) because when t=2 ,y=1...I think you made a little error. I tried to plot the f(t) using Derive6, here is my sketch below: I'm not sure with the transformations, h(t) and k(t). Please help. Thanks

    Quadratic & simultaneous equations

    Thanks a lot CompuChip for your quick reply. And you're right: a scientist is not a person who gives the correct answers, but he's the one who asks the right questions correctly. Keep it up.
