2. Let D be a relation on the natural numbers N defined by D = {(m,n) : m | n} (i.e., D(m,n) is true when n is divisible by m. For this problem, you’ll be proving that D is a partial order. This means that you’ll need to prove that it is reflexive, anti-symmetric, and transitive. (a) Prove that D is reflexive. (Yes, you already did this problem on one of the minihomework assignments. You don’t have to redo the...

extra credit1 A 2-source dipole system has two in-phase sound sources located at (0, d/2) and (0, -d/2).  Given a sound detector using displacement pressure detection principle, basically a force vector measurement perpendicular to the propagation wave vector of a single sound source, find the total signal intensity expression as a function of distance along the x-axis at large distances, >> wavelength, >> d, when a 1-source system would generate displacement (b/r)sin(k(r - vt)) . Use the binomial expansion to find...

a power plant treats 2 ML/d of feedwater to remove total organic carbon (TOC). The source water contains 30 mg/L of TOC. The treatment system consists of a square coagulation and flocculation tank that with a removal efficiency of 30% TOC (because organic matter sticks to floc). The coagulation tank is followed by a long (20 m), narrow(2 m) ozonation channel of 100,000 L with TOC degradation rate of 1.73/hour by reaction with ozone. What is the TOC concentration at...

A.The area of the primary coil (the current source) is 3*10^-4 m^2. The period for the AC power current oscillation is 1.6*10^-2 seconds, thus, the voltage goes from zero to the root mean square voltage in 0.4*10^-2 seconds. Calculate the root mean square voltage of the AC power supply B.What is the root mean square voltage for the secondary coil (pickup coil) if there is one loop for the primary coil (current source coil) and one loop for the secondary...
