A maintenance crew is scheduled to overhaul a radar system. The procedure consists of three sequential phases: diagnostics taking 11 hour and 4545 minutes, component replacement taking 22 hours and 3030 minutes, and recalibration taking 5555 minutes. If the crew begins the overhaul at 09200920 hours, at what time will the entire procedure be completed?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 14301430 hours

Cevap

The entire procedure will be completed at 14301430 hours.
The total duration of the three phases is 310 minutes, which converts to exactly 5 hours and 10 minutes. When you add this elapsed time to the starting clock time of 0920 hours, the final completion time correctly evaluates to 1430 hours.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the duration of all three phases into minutes to standardize the units.
Phase 1: 1 hour 45 minutes = 105 minutes. Phase 2: 2 hours 30 minutes = 150 minutes. Phase 3: 55 minutes.
Converting all times to a single unit prevents base-60 addition errors across mixed units.
2
Calculate the total duration of the overhaul by summing the minutes.
105 + 150 + 55 = 310 minutes.
The total time required is the sum of all individual phases.
3
Convert the total duration back into hours and minutes.
310 minutes divided by 60 equals 5 hours with a remainder of 10 minutes (5 hours and 10 minutes).
You must express the total elapsed time in hours and minutes to add it directly to a clock time.
4
Add the total duration to the starting time of 0920 hours.
0920 + 5 hours = 1420 hours; 1420 hours + 10 minutes = 1430 hours.
Adding the elapsed time to the initial clock time determines the final completion time.

Anahtar Kavram

Calculating total elapsed time by converting between minutes and hours (using a base-60 system) and applying it to a 24-hour military clock.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of converting to minutes, you can group the hours and minutes separately: Add the whole hours (1 hour + 2 hours = 3 hours). Then add the minutes (45 + 30 + 55 = 130 minutes). Convert the 130 minutes to 2 hours and 10 minutes, and combine this with the 3 hours to get a total duration of 5 hours and 10 minutes.

Technicians were warned that a perfunctory inspection of the hydraulic seals was unacceptable; conversely, standard operating protocol required an exhaustive, in-depth diagnostic before authorizing flight clearance. In the sentence above, what is the meaning of the underlined word perfunctory?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Carried out with minimal effort or attention

Cevap

Carried out with minimal effort or attention
The sentence contrasts an unacceptable 'perfunctory' inspection with a mandatory 'exhaustive, in-depth diagnostic' using the transitional adverb 'conversely'. Because these two ideas represent opposing qualities, 'perfunctory' means careless, superficial, or executed with minimal effort.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the contrast transition marker and the opposing description.
The word 'conversely' signals that the condition in the second half ('exhaustive, in-depth diagnostic') is the opposite of a 'perfunctory' inspection.

The sudden electrical surge managed to render the vessel's primary navigation systems completely inoperative.
The jury conducted four days of rigorous deliberation before they could render a final verdict in the federal fraud trial.
During the joint humanitarian deployment, the field clinic was tasked to render emergency medical aid to displaced civilians.
Before raw animal hides could be cured into durable leather, the workshop crew had to render the remaining suet under high heat.

Eşleşmeler

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The sentence describing navigation failure matches 'To cause someone or something to be in a specified state or condition'; the jury sentence matches 'To formally submit, deliver, or declare an official legal judgment'; the field clinic sentence matches 'To provide, furnish, or administer a service or assistance'; and the leather workshop sentence matches 'To melt down and clarify animal fat by applying thermal heat'.
The polysemous verb 'render' shifts meaning across distinct technical and professional domains: the electrical context uses the causative sense of making something inoperative, the courtroom context uses the legal sense of delivering a formal verdict, the field clinic context denotes administering aid, and the hide-curing context uses the material processing sense of extracting fat with heat.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the contextual modifier 'completely inoperative' in the first sentence.
The equipment transitioned from functioning to non-functioning due to the surge.
This establishes that 'render' is functioning as a causative transitive verb meaning 'to cause to become'.
2
Examine the legal domain and object 'a final verdict' in the second sentence.
Juries deliver and formally pronounce findings of law and fact at the conclusion of deliberations.
In standard judicial terminology, to render a verdict is to formally pronounce or hand down a decision.
3
Evaluate the humanitarian scenario and direct object 'emergency medical aid' in the third sentence.
Medical units deliver, give, or administer support to individuals.
In formal and military registers, to 'render aid' or 'render assistance' means to furnish or provide service.
4
Assess the industrial/craft processing clues 'suet', 'hides', and 'high heat' in the fourth sentence.
Suet is hard animal fat that requires thermal extraction and purification.
In manufacturing, chemistry, and culinary domains, 'rendering' is the exact technical term for melting and purifying fat.

A cylindrical oil storage tank has a diameter of 20 feet20\text{ feet} and a height of 5 feet5\text{ feet}. Using 3.143.14 for π\pi, what is the total volume of the tank?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1,570 cubic feet1,570\text{ cubic feet}

Cevap

The total volume of the tank is 1,570 cubic feet1,570\text{ cubic feet}.
The correct answer is found by first halving the given diameter (20 feet) to get a radius of 10 feet. The radius is then squared (100) and multiplied by the height (5) and pi (3.14) according to the volume formula V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h. The calculation 3.14×100×53.14 \times 100 \times 5 equals 1,570 cubic feet1,570\text{ cubic feet}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the radius of the cylindrical tank.
r=d2=202=10 feetr = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10\text{ feet}
The volume formula for a cylinder requires the radius, not the diameter.
2
Set up the volume formula for a cylinder.
V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h
This is the standard geometric formula to find the volume of any cylinder.
3
Substitute the known values into the formula and solve.
V=3.14×(10)2×5=3.14×100×5=314×5=1,570 cubic feetV = 3.14 \times (10)^2 \times 5 = 3.14 \times 100 \times 5 = 314 \times 5 = 1,570\text{ cubic feet}
Squaring 10 gives 100, which moves the decimal point in 3.14 two places to the right, making the final multiplication straightforward.

An industrial steel cable is wrapped around a cylindrical hoisting drum that has a diameter of 2.52.5 feet. If the drum must complete exactly 4040 full rotations to completely unwind the cable, what is the total length of the cable? (Use π=3.14\pi = 3.14)

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 314314 feet

Cevap

The total length of the cable is 314314 feet.
The length of cable unwound in one rotation is exactly equal to the circumference of the drum. Using the formula C=π×dC = \pi \times d, the circumference is 3.14×2.5=7.853.14 \times 2.5 = 7.85 feet. Since the drum rotates 4040 times, the total cable length is 7.85 feet/rotation×40 rotations=3147.85 \text{ feet/rotation} \times 40 \text{ rotations} = 314 feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the circumference of the cylindrical drum.
C=π×d=3.14×2.5=7.85C = \pi \times d = 3.14 \times 2.5 = 7.85 feet.
One full rotation of the drum unwinds an amount of cable equal to the drum's circumference.
2
Multiply the circumference by the number of rotations to find the total length.
7.85×40=3147.85 \times 40 = 314 feet.
The drum completes 4040 rotations, meaning 4040 lengths of the circumference are unwound.

The military context regarding the garrison matches 'undergo or suffer a detrimental condition'. The business context regarding the startup matches 'supply with necessities for prolonged operation'.
Each sentence utilizes distinct contextual markers (legal, physical, detrimental, and operational) that isolate a specific definition of the polysemous word. Careful attention to the outcomes described in the sentences—such as the garrison taking damage versus the alloy holding up against pressure—reveals the precise semantic function being used.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the legal context in the first sentence.
