A driver counts 21 other vehicles using 3 EB lanes on one section of I-80 between her rented car and an overpass ahead. It turned out to be 0.78 mile to the overpass from the point at which she started her vehicle count. The vehicles were moving at approximately 52 mph at the time. Traffic was distributed evenly over the three EB lanes.

Required:
a. Calculate the vehicle density per lane (excluding the driver's rental vehicle) on that stretch of EB I-80.
b. What was the flow rate for that section of I-80?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

vehicle density =  28.205 veh/mile

flow rate =  0.909 veh/hr

Explanation:

given data

count n = 21

distance = 0.78 miles

speed = 52 mph

solution

we get here vehicle density that is express as

vehicle density = n ÷ distance    ...............1

vehicle density = ( 21 + 1 )  ÷ 0.78

vehicle density  k =  28.205 veh/mile

and

now we get here flow rate that is express as

flow rate = k × vs    .................2

flow rate = 28.205 × ( 52 × 0.00062 ÷ 1m )

flow rate =  0.909 veh/hr

A brass alloy rod having a cross sectional area of 100 mm2 and a modulus of 110 GPa is subjected to a tensile load. Plastic deformation was observed to begin at a load of 39872 N. a. Determine the maximum stress that can be applied without plastic deformation. b. If the maximum length to which a specimen may be stretched without causing plastic deformation is 67.21 mm, what is the original specimen length

Answers

Answer:

a) the maximum stress that can be applied without plastic deformation is 398.72 N/mm²  

b) length of the specimen is 66.97 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) Determine the maximum stress that can be applied without plastic deformation

when know that; maximum stress σ[tex]_{max}[/tex]  = F / A

where F is the force in the rod ( 39872 N )

A is the cross-sectional area of the rod ( 100 mm² )

so we substitute;

σ[tex]_{max}[/tex]  = 39872 N / 100 mm²

σ[tex]_{max}[/tex]  = 398.72 N/mm²

Therefore, the maximum stress that can be applied without plastic deformation is 398.72 N/mm²  

b)  

strain in the members can be calculated using the expression

ε = σ / E

where σ is the stress in the rod

E is the module of elasticity (  110 GPa = 110000 N/mm² )

(Sl-L) / L = σ/E

where Sl-L is the change in length of the member

L is the original length of the specimen

so we substitute

(67.21 - L) / L = 398.72 / 110000

110000( 67.21 - L) = 398.72L

7393100 - 110000L = 398.72L

7393100 = 398.72L+ 110000L

7393100 = 110398.72L

L = 7393100 / 110398.72

L = 66.97 mm

Therefore; length of the specimen is 66.97 mm

 

A river has an average rate of water flow of 59.6 M3/s. This river has three tributaries, tributary A, B and C, which account for 36%, 47% and 17% of water flow respectively. How much water is discharged in 30 minutes from tributary B?

Answers

Answer:

50421.6 m³

Explanation:

The river has an average rate of water flow of 59.6 m³/s.

Tributary B accounts for 47% of the rate of water flow. Therefore the rate of water flow through tributary B is:

Flow rate of water through tributary B = 47% of 59.6 m³/s = 0.47 * 59.6 m³/s = 28.012 m³/s

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B = Flow rate of water through tributary B * time taken

time = 30 minutes = 30 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 1800 seconds

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B in 30 seconds = 28.012 m³/s * 1800 seconds = 50421.6 m³

What is the minimum thickness of styrofoam insulation (k 0.030 W/m K) that must be applied to the top and side walls to ensure a heat load of less than 500 W, when the inner and outer surfaces are 10 and 35 C

Answers

Answer:

30 mm is the minimum thickness that must be applied.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using Fourier's equation. the heat rate is  

q = kA(ΔT/Δx)

where

A is the surface area, we must consider all surfaces through which the heat can dissipate through

i.e 2×2 for one wall gives you 4m²,

there are 5 walls, so we will  have 20m² for surface area.

k is thermal conductivity of the styrofoam ( 0.030 W/m K)    

q is the heat loss (500 W  )

ΔT is the Temperature difference ( 35 - 10) = 25°C

Δx  = ?

So we substitute

500 = (0.030)(20)(25/Δx)

500 = 0.6 (25/Δx)

500 = 15 / Δx

Δx = 15 / 500

Δx = 0.03 m = 30 mm

Therefore, 30 mm is the minimum thickness that must be applied.


Drum brakes are usually designed so that the condition of the lining can be checked even if the drum has not been
removed.

Answers

Answer:

no it has to be removed

Explanation:

It is completely inappropriate to mention that the drum brakes are usually designed so that the condition of the lining can be checked even if the drum has not been removed. Therefore, the statement given above is false.

What is the significance of drum brakes?

Drum brakes can be referred to or considered as the types of brakes that are useful in application of brakes to an object, such as wheels, in motion. To understand better, it can be stated that the system of braking under drum brakes is completely in contrast to that of disc brakes.

Drum brakes have a hydraulic pressure, which means that if the condition of lining is to be checked, removal of drums becomes essential. If the drums are not removed, correction or alignment of wheels cannot be performed.

Therefore, the significance regarding drum brakes has been aforementioned, and the statement given above with respect to their removal also holds false.

64A geothermal pump is used to pump brine whose density is 1050 kg/m3at a rate of 0.3 m3/s from a depth of 200 m. For a pump efficiency of 74 percent, determine the required power input to the pump. Disregard frictional losses in the pipes, and assume the geothermal water at 200m depth to be exposed to the atmosphere.

Answers

Answer:

835,175.68W

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the required power input to the pump

First step is to calculate the power needed

Using this formula

P=V*p*g*h

Where,

P represent power

V represent Volume flow rate =0.3 m³/s

p represent brine density=1050 kg/m³

g represent gravity=9.81m/s²

h represent height=200m

Let plug in the formula

P=0.3 m³/s *1050 kg/m³*9.81m/s² *200m

P=618,030 W

Now let calculate the required power input to the pump

Using this formula

Required power input=P/μ

Where,

P represent power=618,030 W

μ represent pump efficiency=74%

Let plug in the formula

Required power input=618,030W/0.74

Required power input=835,175.68W

Therefore the required power input to the pump will be 835,175.68W

Determine the voltage drop from the top terminal to the bottom terminal, vab, in the right hand branch and, vcd, in the left hand branch of the circuit. Determine each voltage drop based on the elements in the corresponding branch.

Answers

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing part of the question

answer ;

voltage drop in the Vcd branch = 30 V

Voltage drop in the middle branch = 40v - 30v = 10 volts

voltage drop in AB = 60 + ( -600 * 0.05 ) = 60 - 30 = 30 volts

Explanation:

Determine voltage drop from top terminal to bottom terminal ( Vab ) in the right hand branch and Vcd in left hand branch

40v and 50mA are in series hence;  Ix = 50mA

also Vcd = 30V

CD is parallel to AB hence; Vcd = Vab = 30 V

Vab = ∝*Ix + 60 v

 30v  = ∝ ( 50mA ) + 60

therefore ∝ = -600

voltage drop in the Vcd branch = 30 V

Voltage drop in the middle branch = 40v - 30v = 10 volts

voltage drop in AB = 60 + ( -600 * 0.05 ) = 60 - 30 = 30 volts

Explanation:

A Russian rocket engine (RD-110 with LOX-kerosene) consists of four thrust chambers supplied by a single turbopump. The exhaust from the turbine of the turbopump then is ducted to four vernier nozzles (which can be rotated to provide some control of the flight path). Using the information below, determine the thrust and mass flow rate of the four vernier gas nozzles. For individual thrust chambers (vacuum): F= 73.14 kN, c = 3279 m/sec Overall engine with verniers (vacuum): F= 297.93 kN, c = 3197 m/sec.

Answers

Answer:

- Vernier thrust is 5.37 kN

- mass flow rate of the four Vernier gas nozzles is 0.4048 kg/s

Explanation:  

Given that;

For individual thrust chambers (vacuum);

Fc = 73.14 kN ,  Cc = 3279 m/sec

For Overall engine with Vernier (vacuum);

Foa = 297.93 kN = ,  Coa = 3197 m/sec.

- determine the Vernier thrust

Vernier thrust Fv =  Foa - ( 4 × Fc )

Vernier thrust Fv  = 297.93 - ( 4 × 73.14)

Vernier thrust Fv  = 297.93 - 292.56

Vernier thrust Fv  = 5.37 kN

Therefore, Vernier thrust is 5.37 kN

-

Vernier mass flow rate;

we know that

[tex]Co_{a}[/tex] = Fc + Fv  / mc + mv

mv = Foa/Coa - Fc/Cc

we convert kilonewton to kilograms

1 kn = 102 kg

Fc = 73.14 kN = 73.14 × 102 = 7460.28 kg

Foa = 297.93 kN = 297.93 × 102 = 30388.86 kg

we substitute

mv = (30388.86 / 3197) - (( 4 × 7460.28) / 3279)

mv = 9.5054 - 9.1006

mv = 0.4048 kg/s

Therefore, mass flow rate of the four Vernier gas nozzles is 0.4048 kg/s

There are four people who want to cross a rickety bridge; they all begin on the same side. You have 17 minutes to get them all across to the other side. It is night, and they have one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross the bridge at one time. Any party that crosses, either one or two people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth; it cannot be thrown, for example. Person 1 takes 1 minute to cross the bridge, person 2 takes 2 minutes, person 3 takes 5 minutes, and person 4 takes 10 minutes. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower person’s pace.

Required:
What is the shortest time needed for all four of them to cross the bridge?

Answers

Answer:

The shortest time needed for all four of them to cross the bridge = 17 minutes

Explanation:

As given ,  to cross the bridge

Person 1 takes 1 minute,

Person 2 takes 2 minutes,

Person 3 takes 5 minutes, and

Person 4 takes 10 minutes.

For the first time ,

Person 1 and Person 2 will go to cross the bridge

As Person 2 takes 2 minutes

So, total time taken by Person 1 and person 2 together will be 2 minutes

Now,

Person 1 will come back with flashlight.

He takes 1 minutes.

So, Total time becomes 2 + 1 = 3 minutes

Then,

Person 3 and Person 4 will cross the bridge

As Person 4 takes 10 minutes

So, total time taken by Person 3 and person 4 together will be 10 minutes

So, Total time becomes 3 + 10 = 13 minutes

Now,

Person 2 will come back with flashlight.

He takes 2 minutes.

So, Total time becomes 13 + 2 = 15 minutes

Then,

Person 1 and Person 2 will cross the bridge

As Person 2 takes 2 minutes

So, total time taken by Person 1 and person 2 together will be 2 minutes

So, Total time becomes 15 + 2 = 17 minutes

∴ we get

The shortest time needed for all four of them to cross the bridge = 17 minutes
