Q.What is the basis of computation for automotive engine horsepower?Related Search:
Other - Cars & Transportation
 Automotive manufacturers indicate specific horsepower ratings for their engines/vehicles. How do they measure these? Is the weight of the vehicle relevant to the computation?
A.How do they measure these? [Link]  It's basically an imaginary number. All it is, is Torque, multiplied and divided. If you want to talk about a REAL unit of force, look at torque. Horsepower is great for advertising, but that's about it. Here's an example. Let's say you have Car A, advertised at 300 hp at 6,500rpm. And Car B at 210hp at 5000rpm. Which is the more powerful car? Impossible to say from that comparison, because you're not measuring the two cars at the same rpm. The 210hp car might actually make 350hp at 6500. And the 300hp car might only make 140hp at 5000. As a comparison, imagine one person says they run a mile in 6 minutes. Another says they run 1.5 miles in 9 minutes. Who's faster? Hard to say, since you're comparing different things. Is the weight of the vehicle relevant to the computation? Not in the slightest. But it is relevant to the vehicle's performance. So are things like gearing, traction, aerodynamics, etc. Simply saying a 300hp car, does not immediately mean it's faster than a 250hp car. Or that it's more powerful.
  

Q.How to covert the galvanometer to an ammeter and computation of shunt resistance?Related Search:
Engineering
 Also the conversion of galvanometer to an ammeter and the computation of series resistance. If the resistance of a galvanometer coil is 25.0 0, and the current required for full-scale deflection is 500/LA.
A.You have to arrange for some of the current to flow through the galvanometer, and some to flow through the shunt resistance (which is placed in parallel with it). Using Ohm's Law, you can work out what voltage will be across the galvanometer at full-scale deflection; and then, all the excess current must be flowing through the shunt resistance. Since you know the current (which is the amount you are trying to measure, minus the amount flowing through the galvanometer) and the voltage (remember, things which are in parallel with one another have the same voltage across them), you can work out the resistance.
  

Q.How can Wang tiles be used for computation?Related Search:
Mathematics
 I'm reading a book at the moment on DNA computation. One chapter is about self assembling computers using DNA crossover molecules that act as Wang tiles when computing. But the description in the book of how computation was carried out was very brief and after multiple re-readings I can't get my head around it. Can you help?
A.Hi, It has already been explained in the links below. Hope the links could help you. Kind regard, R

Q.Approximate the maximum possible error in the computation of the area?Related Search:
Mathematics
 A triangle is measured and two adjacent sides are found to be 3 inches and 4 inches long, with an included angle of π/4. The possible errors in measurement are 1/18 inch for the sides and 0.01 radian for the angle. Approximate the maximum possible error in the computation of the area. I got .33 cuz i did found dA but im not sure im doing it right can anybody help?
A.let a = 3, b = 4 and θ = π/2 be the measurements that you gave for the triangle. Then the area is: A = 0.5ab sin(θ) Find the partial derivatives. ∂A/∂a = 0.5b sin(θ) ∂A/∂b = 0.5a sin(θ) ∂A/∂θ = 0.5ab cos(θ) Approximate the error in the area due to each measurement by multiplying the partial derivative by the error in the variable that you took the derivative with respect to (substituting the known a, b, and θ into them also). Then add them all up to get the total error. I got an answer of 0.180 in^2 for the estimated error.

Q.DO you think its valuable for students to see more than one method of doing computation problems?Related Search:
Mathematics
 Do you think it is valuable for students to see more than one method of doing computation problems? Why or why not? Please help thanks.
A.Yes - depending on the situation, one way of doing it may be better than the other, and visa versa. So if you only know 1 way of solving something, it may not be the "best" one to use in certain situations. Someone knowing the alternate ways to solve the same problem will be able to find the answer faster, and be able to do other things in the time it takes for the first person to finish.

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856):

COMPUTATION counting, calculation. It is a reckoning or ascertaining the 
number of any thing. 
     2. It is sometimes used in the common law for the true reckoning or 
account of time. Time is computed in two ways; first, naturally, counting 
years, days and hours; and secondly, civilly, that is, that when the last 
part of the time has once commenced, it is considered as accomplished. 
Savig. Dr. Rom. Sec. 182. See Infant; Fraction. For the computation of a 
year, see Com. Dig. Ann; of a mouth, Com. Dig. Temps. A; 1 John. Cas. 100 15 
John. R. 120; 2 Mass. 170, n.; 4 Mass. 460; 4 Dall. 144; 3 S. & R. 169; of a

Salk. 625; 3 Wils. 274. 
     3. It is a general rule that when an act is to be done within a certain 
time, one day is to be taken inclusively, and one exclusively. Vide Lofft,
