The peak of a ship refers to the uppermost part of the vessel's structure, particularly the highest point of the hull or the superstructure. It plays a crucial role in the ship's stability and seaworthiness, as it helps to distribute weight and manage the vessel's center of gravity. Additionally, the peak area may house equipment such as antennas or navigation systems, enhancing the ship's functionality. Overall, the peak contributes to the ship's performance and safety at sea.
No. He climbed the moutain named after him Pikes Peak.
The crow's nest is a lookout platform near the peak of a given mast.
Laffite's personal ship was named The Pride. Over his lifetime he had a whole fleet of ships under his command - around 97 at his peak.
The bulkhead on a ship is a structure that separates sections of the ship. This structure makes each section water tight and looks basically like a wall.
A: AC or our line voltage is sinusoidal in nature it goes up to a positive peak returns to zero and proceed to the negative peak. 120V AC is actually swinging from peak to peak. It is 120 volts but the peak is the 120 v times 1.41 or 169.2 volts and since it also go negative then the peak to peak 120 volts times 2.82 or 338.40 volts or twice the peak voltage
A 120V AC signal (such as at a power socket) is a sine-wave with a peak amplitude of about 170V and -170V or 340V peak-to-peak. A half-wave rectifier is basically a single diode which will clip off one half of the cycle leaving the other with a slight reduction in voltage. A silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about .7 (seven tenths) of a volt, so if the input signal is 170V peak (340V Peak-to-peak), the output would be about 169.3V peak.
Hi, I've just taken peak pressures on a 16 cylinder 10000 hp diesel engine used to provide electrcal power for a drilling ship. The average peak pressure in each cylinder was 177 bar.
What you are referring to is a "widow's walk", a place where one could watch for the return of a ship. A widow's peak is a hair term...the hairline descends to a point near the center of your forehead.
Peak to Peak Charter School was created in 1999.
Peak to Peak is the most positive peak to the negative peak value. Or find any peak value and multiply by 2.
The aft end of a ship, the stern, will usually have a steering gear for each rudder. There will usually be mooring equipment on deck. Many ships have free-fall lifeboat davits mounted on teh stern as well. There will usually be an aft peak ballast tank.
The amplitude of the function [ sin(x) ] is 1 peak and 2 peak-to-peak . The amplitude of 6 times that function is 6 peak and 12 peak-to-peak.
