    Engineering Convert NPN to PNP Signal - Simple Circuit Diagrams

    Basically, the NPN sensor has three wires coming out of it and the gauge had an input of three wires, however, the gauge requires PNP not NPN, so i need to convet the NPN to output PNP

    How to Calculate Volume of a Lake Using Different Approximation Methods?

    I am given a table of values to calculate the volume of water in a lake. X(m) 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Y(m) 10.2 39.1 56.9 43.2 28.5 17.7 9.8 Where X is intervals across the lake Where Y is depth of the lake in meters The aim is to work out the volume using a range of...

    How can we use calculus to find volumes of revolution?

    Thanks All, But how to we actually get from A=πy2 δx to ∫πf(x)2dx How does the area become the volume?

    How can we use calculus to find volumes of revolution?

    As part of an assignment on Approximating Areas and Volume I am asked to derive the equation shown in the image attached. The question reads: "It can be shown that if y = f(x) is revolved around the x-axis to form a solid between x=a and x=b then the volume of the solid is give by the...

    How Can You Source Ball Bearings of Different Diameters but Identical Mass?

    Hello All, I have been giving a practical assignment to calculate how terminal velocity changes as the diamter of ball bears increase. I have chosed to use stokes law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes%27_law to assist me with the prac. I required different sized ball bearing but must...

    Charge A High Voltage Capacitor

    Is it possible to use a dc powersupply instead? and by safely I was referring to use any AC powerpoints as although i have a safety switch and a self made fuse box to ensure safety for myself and the mains i would prefer using a transformer
