Describe briefly the basic principle of the following
instruments for making temperature measurements and state in one
sentence the special usefulness of each instrument: constant-volume
gas thermometer and Thermocouple thermometer.
One of the
aspects of the uncertainty principle, is that in making
measurements, one changes the system being measured. Give an
example of this in your everyday existence.
Briefly explain the following items, and state whether the item
falls under accounting principle or assumption
Economic entity
Accrual basis accounting
Historical cost of an asset
Going concern
State if each of the following salts is acidic, basic, or
neutral. Briefly, give your reason for each choice.
BaI2, LiBr, NH4Br,
CH3NH3CN, and
Ca3(PO4)2
Is there some kind of trick or way to find the answer?
Using words and
visuals, briefly describe the temperature dependence of stiffness
for the following classes of polymers. Explain how the structure
and bonding in these materials contributes to the observed
temperature-dependent properties (structure-property
connections).
Amorphous and
semi-crystalline thermoplastics
Elastomers
Thermosets
Describe briefly the principle of the Rational method and the
limitation of this method for runoff estimation. A sub-catchment of
area 0.1km2 is built on gently sloping land. The average
slope of the land is 0.001. The length of the longest natural flow
path L is 276.3m. The flow time tf in the drainage
system is 3min. Determine the 50yr design discharge for the
subdivision using the rational method, given that the average
runoff coefficient of the subdivision is C=0.7....
Which of the following is not a basic principle of cash
management?
Increase the speed of collection on receivables.
Maintain idle cash.
Keep inventory levels low.
Delay payment of liabilities.
