Concept explainers
Earlier in the course, we worked with two equations for converting temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
Let’s start with the formula that calculates F in terms of C, and see if we can solve for C.
First, subtract _______ from both sides. Fill in the blank, then perform that step on the equation.

- For each of the following problems, substitute the given values in the formula and solve for the unknown. Check. A sheet metal formula used in computing the size of a stretch-out is L.S.=4s+W. Determine W when s=3 inches and L.S.=1218 inches.arrow_forwardFor each of the following problems, substitute the given values in the formula and solve for the unknown. Check each answer. In mechanical energy applications, force (F) in pounds equals work (W) in foot-pounds divided by distance (D) in feet, F=WD . Determine W when F=150.0 pounds and D=7.500 feet.arrow_forwardSolve the following exercises based on Principles 11-14, although an exercise may require the application of two or more of any of the principles. Round the answers to 3 decimal places where necessary unless otherwise stated. a. If radius x = 7.500" and y = 4.500", find PM. b. If radius x = 8.000" and y = 4.800", find PM.arrow_forward
- For each of the following problems, substitute the given values in the formula and solve for the unknown. Check each answer. Round the answers to 2 decimal places. The length of cut (L) in inches of a workpiece in a lathe is equal to the product of the cutting time (T) in minutes, the tool feed (F) in inches per revolution, and the number of revolutions per minute (N) of the workpiece: L=TFN. Determine N when L=9.50 inches, T=3.00 minutes, and F=0.050 inch per revolution.arrow_forwardCompute the following problems. Express the answers to the nearer whole number. Use C=3.1416DN12 or DN12 for customary units and C=3.1416DN1000 or DN1000 for metric units. A 312 inch diameter high-speed steel cutter, running at 55 rpm, is used to rough mill a steel casting. What is the Cutting speed?arrow_forwardThe solution of the following problems requires more than one formula and the rearrangement of formulas. Use C=3.1416DN12 or DN12 for customary units and C=3.1416DN1000 or DN1000 for metric units. N=12C3.1416D or 12CD for customary units and N=1000C3.1416D or 1000CD for metric units. T=LFN A carbide milling cutter is used for machining a 560.00-millimeter length of stainless steel. The cutting time is 11.95 minutes, the cutting speed is 60.000 meters per minute, and the feed is0.250 millimeter per revolution. What is the diameter of the carbide milling cutter? Round the answer to 1 decimal place.arrow_forward
