Shalnov [3]2 years ago

Steel can support a lot of weight and is nearly five times as robust as concrete. A steel staircase may be constructed with a lot less material than a concrete one and is stronger than a concrete one.

Concrete has a high compression strength, which means it can withstand being forced together with force. The most common material used to build a stairway is concrete because of its exceptional ability to be shaped into any complex design. Timber will always be susceptible to damage from the elements and wood-eating insects, regardless of how much chemical treatment it receives. Rain and snow can quickly deteriorate a wooden staircase if it is outside.

A BOD test is to be run on a sample of wastewater that has a five-day BOD of 230 mg/L. If the initial DO of a mix of distilled w
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Distribution factor P = =38.33

V = 7.826 ml

Explanation:

given details:

BOD =230 mg/l

DO inital = 8.0mg/l

DO final = 2.0mg/l

we know

BOD = [DO inital -DO final] * distribution factor

230 = [8 - 2] D.F

Distribution factor P = \frac{230}{6}

Distribution factor P = =38.33

THE RANGE OF WASTE WATER VOLUME IN 300 ml bottle is

distribution factor = \frac{300}{V}

V = \frac{300}{38.33}

V = 7.826 ml

An offshore oil rig will drill into the ocean floor which is located 1 mile below the water surface. Determine the pressure at t
Luden [163]

Answer:

15.65 MPa 150 times of human body internal pressure

Explanation:

Given:

- Depth of the ocean for offshore drilling d = 1 mile

Find:

Determine the pressure at that location

What would happen to an unprotected, exposed person at that depth?

Solution:

- The pressure at a certain depth of a fluid can be calculated with:

                                       P = p_w*g*d

Where, P is the pressure , p_w is the density of water ( 997 kg / m^3 ).

- Hence @ d = 1.0 mile = 1.6 km = 1600 m:

                                       P = 997*9.81*1600

                                       P = 15.65 MPa

- Whereas the pressure inside a human body is 101 KPa, Pressure under ocean @  1 mile of depth is 150 times in magnitude, enough to crush the human body!

A wastewater is to be disinfected using ultraviolet (UV) light. Batch experiments find that the bacterial concentration decays u
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

k = 0.1118 per min

Explanation:

Assume;

Initial number of bacteria = N0

Number of bacteria IN 'T' time = Nt

So,

Nt=N0e^{-kt}\\\\in\ 6.2 min\\\\\\frac{N0}{2}= N0e^{-k(6.2)}\\\\ln\frac{1}{2} = -k[6.2]

k = 0.1118 per min

The uniform beam is supported by two rods AB and CD that have crosssectional areas of 10 mm2 and 15 mm2 , respectively. Determin
ddd [48]

Answer:

w=2.25

Explanation:

It is necessary to determine the maximum w so that the normal stress in the AB and CD rods does not exceed the permitted normal stress.  

The surface of the cross-section of the stapes was determined:  

A_ab= 10 mm^2

A-cd=  15 mm^2

The maximum load is determined from the condition that the normal stresses is not higher than the permitted normal stress σ_allow.

σ_ab = F_ab/A_ab\leqσ_allow

σ_cd =  F_cd/A_cd\leqσ_allow

In the next step we will determine the static size: Picture b).  

We apply the conditions of equilibrium:  

∑F_x=0

∑F_y=0

  ∑M=0

∑M_a=0 ==> -w*6*0.5*6*0.75*F_cd*6 =0

              ==> F_cd = 2*w*k*N

∑F_y=0 ==> F_cd+F_ab - 6*w*0.5 ==>2*w+F_ab -6*w*0.5 =0

              ==> F_ab = w*k*N

Now we determine the load w  

<u>Sector AB:  </u>

σ_ab = F_ab/A_ab\leq σ_allow=300 KPa

         = w/10*10^-6\leq σ_allow=300 KPa

w_ab = 3*10^-3 kN/m

<u>Sector CD:  </u>

σ_cd = F_cd/A_cd\leq σ_allow=300 KPa

         = 2*w/15*10^-6\leq σ_allow=300 KPa

w_cd = 2.25*10^-3 kN/m

w=min{w_ab;w_cd} ==> w=min{3*10^-3;2.25*10^-3}

                                ==> w=2.25 * 10^-3 kN/m

<u>The solution is:  </u>

                                w=2.25 N/m
