Answer:
P = 4.745 kips
Explanation:
Given
ΔL = 0.01 in
E = 29000 KSI
D = 1/2 in
LAB = LAC = L = 12 in
We get the area as follows
A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²
Then we use the formula
ΔL = P*L/(A*E)
For AB:
ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB
For AC:
ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC
Now, we use the condition
ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in
⇒ ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in
Knowing that PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P
we have
(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in
⇒ P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

Answer:
Space mean speed = 44 mi/h
Explanation:
Using Greenshield's linear model
q = Uf ( D - /Dj )
qcap = capacity flow that gives Dcap
Dcap = Dj/2
qcap = Uf. Dj/4
Where
U = space mean speed
Uf = free flow speed
D = density
Dj = jam density
now,
Dj = 4 × 3300/55
= 240v/h
q = Dj ( U - /Uf)
2100 = 240 ( U - /55)
Solve for U
U = 44m/h
