It can vary greatly depending on the crane design and size.


What are two effects that joint design has on the completed weld?

I am not sure but I would assume two things about joint design and its effect on the weld and visa versa: penetration and overall strength of the weld would depend greatly on what grove you are welding in or on and the amount of distortion would vary greatly depending on how large of root opening and weld size etc.


How does hydraulic pressure create a mechanical advantage in a simple hydraulic jack?

to understand this answer we have to assume the following as givin fact. fluids do not compress, that out of the way, the hydraulic piston you push is a smaller diameter than the piston that does the work. for example lets say that you are using a 1 square inch piston as the one you are pressing, and you are using a 100 square inch piston as the one doing work. these numbers are greatly exaggerated but will work for the example if you put 10 pounds of pressure on the 1 inch cylinder, you will have 10 psi of pressure. when this is routed to the 100 square inch cylinder you will still have 10 psi of pressure, but now it is acting on 100 square inches (10 pounds per square inch times 100 square inches) this would calculate to 1000 pounds. it would be the same as a 1001 inch lever with the fulcrum being 1 inch in from one end, only you would exert force on the larger lever to gain a mechanical advantage. hydraulics used in this way are known as liquid levers


Differences between centrifugal compressors and centrifugal pump?

centrifugal pump uses centrifugal action while reciprocati pump operates on resiprocating motion of pistonA centrifugal pump will typically give you a higher flow rate but a lower pressure, where a piston pump will give you more pressure but a lower flow rate.


What is Central tendecy?

There are three statistical measures of "central tendency" - mean, median and mode. Combined, they give a picture of how close the data values cluster around a single "average" value. Normally, when someone talks of AVERAGE they are talking about the MEAN - where you add all the values and divide by the number of data points. But that value can be greatly affected by extreme values (e.g., the Mean of the following numbers: 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 3, 27, 4, and 4 would be skewed by that one value that is not close to most of the others). The MODE of the numbers I gave, however, is the value that occurs most frequently - 4. The MEDIAN, the point where half the values are higher and half are lower, would also be 4. So, you see, the Central Tendency would be toward the value 4 and there is a strong Central tendency in this set of values. You could have a different set of numbers (e.g., 3, 27, 118, 11, 2, 963, 48) and while you could calculate an arithmetic mean, you could see that it wouldn't be too useful since there is no real Central Tendency of the data.
