It is because in case of an electric discharge the fuel might catch the fire, so the loss is carefully grounded before connecting.

NEED HELP WITH cralrifying what a is asking, and solving b and cThe attenuation coefficient for ultrasound signals is sometimes described in terms of the reduction in sound intensity level for each cm thickness, as indicated in Table E1 (see attached). This is useful for sonographers because the reduction in sound intensity levels can easily be calculated using the coefficient and the total distance traveled by the signal. Both formats for reporting the attenuation coefficients for soft tissue as a function of the frequency are listed in Table E1 (see attached). a) Verify that the attenuation coefficient (in cm-1) values listed in Table E1 (see attached) correspond to the (dB/cm) values. Note: Since the attenuation coefficient can be expressed in multiple ways, use the units to distinguish between them.A practical way to determine the imaging depth for soft tissue (vtissue = 1540 m/s) for a particular frequency is 400 wavelengths. In other words, if a specific interface is located within 400 wavelengths of the transducer, it will have sufficient intensity upon return to the transducer so that it can be detected. Most medical ultrasound transducers can detect a signal that is 10-4 % of the original intensity. This corresponds to the equipment being sensitive to a level of 60 dB. b) Determine the imaging depth for each frequency and record it in the table. c) Determine the detected intensity level of a signal from an interface located at the imaging depth found in part b for each frequency. Frequency Attenuation (MHz) coefficient (dB/cm): Attenuation coefficient (cm-) Imaging depth (cm) Detected intensity level (dB) 2.0 1.0 0.12 3.0 1.5 2.5 3.8 0.18 5.0 7.5 0.29 0.44 9.0 4.5 0.52
