What does WMAP measure? The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) mission reveals conditions as they existed in the early universe by measuring the properties of the cosmic microwave background radiation over the full sky. This microwave radiation was released approximately 375,000 years after the birth of the universe. What is the significance of the small […]
What causes drum brakes to drag?
What causes drum brakes to drag? Brake dragging is commonly caused by broken or weak springs on the drum brakes. It can also be due to a corroded or jammed caliper piston or a caliper that has corroded bushings or mounting pins. Additionally, brake dragging can also be caused by frozen emergency brake cables as […]

What forces act on a satellite orbiting Earth?
What is vapor compression cycle of a refrigeration system?
What is vapor compression cycle of a refrigeration system? Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air-conditioning of buildings and automobiles. What cycle does a refrigerator work on? Air cycle refrigeration works on […]
What are all the 4 sided shapes?
What are all the 4 sided shapes? A quadrilateral is a four-sided two-dimensional shape. The following 2D shapes are all quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezium, parallelogram and kite. What shapes are quadrilaterals and parallelograms? Quadrilaterals: Classification A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles, so all […]
What is the function of super heater in the boiler?
What is the function of super heater in the boiler? In a steam engine, the superheater re-heats the steam generated by the boiler, increasing its thermal energy and decreasing the likelihood that it will condense inside the engine. Superheaters increase the thermal efficiency of the steam engine, and have been widely adopted. How many methods […]
When should a valve spring be replaced?
When should a valve spring be replaced? Valve springs can last a long time, but they do wear. On higher mileage engines with 100,000 miles or more, it is not uncommon for the valve springs to lose tension. Springs that have lost more than 10% of their tension should be replaced. What should valve springs […]
Do ladders need to be inspected?
Do ladders need to be inspected? In most cases, ladders should be replaced rather than repaired. They must be inspected regularly to ensure that they are in safe condition. Why ladders must be visually inspected before can be used? Always visually inspect ladder feet to ensure that foot pads and feet assembly are present and […]
How do you find the cross-sectional area of copper wire?
How do you find the cross-sectional area of copper wire? ρ=RAl. The cross-sectional area of the wire A is the area of a circle of radius r, or of diameter d = 2r: A=πr2=π(d2)2. How do you calculate cross-sectional resistance? resistivity = resistance × area / length b) A wire made of a copper alloy […]
