DC Theory, Lvl III Lesson 3: Working with Ratios and Proportion
The ratio of the speeds of pulleys is inversely proportional to the ratio of their diameters. The speed reduction required on a pulley and belt drive is 4 to 1. If the drive is 4 inches in diameter, what size would be required for the driven pulley?
16 Inches D^1/D^2=S^2/S^1 4/X=1/4 X=16
The weight of outlet boxes is proportional to the volume of boxes involved. If 400 boxes weigh 120 pounds, how much would 500 boxes weigh?
400/120 = 500/X 150 Pounds 400X=60,000 60,000/400=150 lbs.
If 50 feet of number 12 copper wire has a resistance of 1.2 ohms, what length of number 12 copper would have a resistance of 12 ohms?
500 Feet R^1/R^2=L^1/L^2 1.2/12=50/L^2 1.2L^2=600 600/1.2 L^2=500

In final form, how would a ratio of 3/2 be properly stated? I. 1.5 II. 2/3 III. 3 to 2 IV. 3:2
C. III and IV
What is the compression ratio for an engine if each cylinder has a maximum volume of 500 cubic centimeters and a minimum volume of 50 cubic centimeters? a. 1:1 b. 1:2 c. 5:1 d. 10:1
D. 10:1 500/50=10/1=10:1
A certain belt drive has a 10-inch pulley driving a 4-inch pulley. What is the ratio of the pulley diameter? a. 2.5:1 b. 2.5 to 1 c. 2.5/1 d. All of the above
D. All of the above
A number 10 AWG copper wire has a resistance of 0.9989 ohms per 1,000 feet and a cross sectional area of 10,380 CM. If the resistance of copper wire is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, what would be the resistance of 1,000 feet of Copper wire with a cross section of 5,178 CM? (Round the FINAL answer to four decimal places.)
D1/D2 = R2/R1 10380/5178 = R2/.9989 2.0024Ohm
An apprentice productively working a 40-hour week earns more wages and is worth considerably more to the local union and the industry than one who works only 30 hours per week. Consider two apprentices, A and B, working the same job at the same scale. Apprentice A works 40 hours and is paid $160.00 from which $4.80 is paid to the local union. Apprentice B only works 30 hours. How much will the local union receive in dues for the 30 hours work?
Da/Db = Ha/Hb 4.8/Db = 40/30 40Db=144.0 Db=3.60 $3.60 Dues
Direct proportion is two quantities related and dependent in such a way that as one increases the other decreases, and conversely, as one decreases the other increases. T/f
False
If the 10-inch pulley of Question 8 were turned at 1,000 RPM, what would be the speed of the 4-inch pulley?
RPM = 2500 10/4=X/1,000 4X=10,000 X=2,500 RPM
The rotational speed of a driven gear is inversely proportional to the number of teeth on a gear. You are replacing a gear having 200 teeth with one that has 50 teeth and turns 2,000 RPM. What was the RPM of the gear having 200 teeth?
RPM = 500 G^1/G^2=S^2/S^1 200/50=2,000/X 100,000=200X X=500 RPM
The following ratios are true for transformers. (T = number of turns)
Tp/Ts = Ep/Es 250/900 = 240V/Es =(240 x 900)/250 Es = 864V
The following ratios are true for transformers. (T = number of turns)
Tp/Ts = Is=Ip 250/900 = 6A/I =(6 x 900)/250= Ip=21.6A
By definition, a ratio initially takes on the form of a fraction.
True
An apprentice productively working a 40-hour week earns more wages and is worth considerably more to the local union and the industry than one who works only 30 hours per week. Consider two apprentices, A and B, working the same job at the same scale. Apprentice A works 40 hours and is paid $160.00 from which $4.80 is paid to the local union. Apprentice B only works 30 hours. How much money does Apprentice B get paid prior to any deductions?
Wa/Wb = Ha/Hb 160/Wb = 40/30 40Wb=4,800 Wb=120 $120
