Toyota Corolla 2009 Electrical Power Steering Issue?
I had some issues over the past couple of days with my EPS. It would occasionally go off, after all the indicator lights would flash momentarily. This only happens at low speeds, under 10 mph, and as soon as I got it up to speed the power steering would come back on.
I took my car into the mechanic and he told me my battery needed to be replaced, its the original, and my rear hub and bearing assembly is corroded and there is electrical damage back there.
I'm not an expert or even proficient with cars, but the rear hub and bearing sound like crap to me. I'm sure there is rust, but would that cause EPS issues? My car is front wheel drive too so I'm not sure what electronics are in my rear hub and bearing.
I have a feeling it's only the battery and they are trying to find things wrong with my car, but I don't know enough to say so. I don't want to pay the $1875.00 to repair the hub and bearing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
1 AnswerToyota7 years agoHow Does the Swivel Mechanism Work on a Stool?
I am an engineering student and have to recreate a stool using pro-e. I know that the swivel mechanism for a flat swivel involves two equal sized plates, and that ball bearings are what make it swivel but I am unsure on how exactly the mechanism works. If anyone could please help explain exactly how these plates/bearings/other parts interact to make the swivel work I would greatly appreciate it. The stool has a flat, 360 degree swivel action.

I was diagnosed with mono last saturday. My acute symptoms are already clearly up: my throat is feeling better and my neck isn't as stiff. My girlfriend is coming to visit me on friday, and I was wondering is there a good chance she could catch it just by sharing my bed with me. No kissing, or intimate contact...etc. I will also obviously wash my sheets and pillowcases the day of her visit. Thanks.

I'm good at calculus and DE, not stats. He was under the the wrong impression
In a survey of 703 randomly selected workers, 15.93% got their jobs through newspaper ads. Test the claim that less than 20% of them got their current employment using the newspaper. Use a 0.05 significance level and support your findings with a confidence interval.
Complete the following problems using the P-Value method only for credit. Partial credit is given. Make sure each answer has the following parts: 1. Hypothesis statement in words and in symbols with original claim marked. 2. Data gathered together. 3. Determine type of test and list criteria that determined which test to use. 4. Decision criteria 5. Make your decision and form your conclusion. 6. Calculate your confidence interval. (If none mentioned use 0.05 level of significance). 7. Answer the question asked at the conclusion of the claim.
1 AnswerMathematics1 decade ago5 True or False Questions about Synchronous Motors (electrical engineering)?
1. The power factor of a synchronous machine cannot be controlled through the rotor field excitation.
2. Speed of a synchronous motor can only be controlled by varying the frequency of the applied AC power to it.
3. In large synchronous motors, the torque producing conductors are places on the rotor and field poles are mounted on the stator.
4. Synchronous machine produces maximum torque at zero speed [stand still].
5. A 48 pole synchronous motor, when powered from a 60 Hz power source, would run at 480 rpm.

1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoSimple C++ program how would i type this?
1. Create a file called data.txt with the following data, which are the lengths of the sides of an irregular pentagon in order going clockwise (a, b, c, d, and e). The data file should only contain these five numbers.
45 105 45 90 90
2. Write a C++ program that does the following.
a. Reads the data from the file using 5 separate variable names (e.g. a, b, c, d and e).
b. Assuming the angles between sides a and b as well as b and c are 90 degrees, the program then calculates the remaining three angles of the pentagon.
c. Prints a table to the screen as neatly as possible of the sides and their included angle.
d. In the fourth column of the table, the program prints the word "greater" if the angle is greater than 90 degrees, "less" if the angle is less than 90 degrees and "equal" if the angle is equal to 90 degrees.
Note that the program must be able to run with any data file of five numbers (when a and c are equal and d and e are equal and the angles between a and b and b and c are always 90), not just this set of five. Also, always assume that the pentagon is convex (meaning it points out, not inward).

7 AnswersEthnic Cuisine1 decade agoRunning Injuries Please Help?
I have had what is most likely Achilles tendinitis since november. I was able to run on it as long as it was on an indoor track or treadmill. But then in late January I tweaked my knee so I just decided to rest completely to let everything heal. I have seen a doctor and he gave me a heal lift for my Achilles about a month ago and it does feel better. I decided to run outside last week for two days. My achilles and knee became both noticeably sore again so I have since stopped. My question is how long may it take to have my achilles heal; it is not in pain but sort of tight and was a little sore after I tried to run. My other question, what could possibly be wrong with my knee that it is still hurts from January. Both injuries are on my left leg. How long would you recommend taking off. It seems like I can run but I'm a road runner and put in 40 miles a week and I know I could not handle that now.This is a lot but I am really hoping to be able to run by the summer. Thanks!

1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoHow to treat achilles tendonitis?
I am 18 years and and a long distance runner. This is the first time I have had an injury that I would consider serious. Recently this past november I felt pain in what I assume, and am almost sure, is my achilles. I took a break for almost two weeks and began to run on a carpeted indoor track for a week with no problems. I then decided to run outside and the pain came back, so this continued for a while: I would take some time off, feel fine comeback and get hurt again, I don't learn fast. Then at the beginning of the new year i started using a treadmill which actually made my achilles feel better. But i could still feel tension in my achilles. I am worried that as soon as i try to run outside i will just hurt it again. As of right now i decided to take atleast a month off to let my achilles heal, and some other nagging injuries. It has been about a week and my achilles is not noticeably any better. After that long description my main question is this: What can I do to make sure that this problem goes away? I am hoping to start marathon training in march or april. Any advice would be appreciated greatly!!
