An excavation is at risk for cave-in and water accumulation because of the excess soil that has accumulated. What type of excava

tion protection will address this situation

3 0

Answer:

Among the different types of excavation protection system, as a way of preventing accidents against cave-ins, the sloping involves cutting back the trench wall at an angle inclined away from the excavation. Shoring requires installing aluminum hydraulic or other types of supports to prevent soil movement and cave-ins. Shielding protects workers by using trench boxes or other types of supports to prevent soil cave-ins (OSHA). In addition, the regulations do not allow employees to work on excavations where there is an accumulation of water. If this occurs, water on the site must be constantly removed by suitable equipment preventing water from accumulating. The entry of surface water into the excavations must also be prevented by means of diversion ditches, dam, or other suitable means.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The maximum power that can be generated is 127.788 kW

Explanation:

Using the steam table

Enthalpy at 20 bar = 2799 kJ/kg

Enthalpy at 2 bar = 2707 kJ/kg

Change in enthalpy = 2799 - 2707 = 92 kJ/kg

Mass flow rate of steam = 5000 kg/hr = 5000 kJ/hr × 1 hr/3600 s = 1.389 kg/s

Maximum power generated = change in enthalpy × mass flow rate = 92 kJ/kg × 1.389 kg/s = 127.788 kJ/s = 127.788 kW

Are routers better for internet connection rather than a WiFi modem?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Depends

Explanation:

The modem connects you to the Internet via ISP. Without a modem, your router will only allow you to connect to a LAN. A modem will provide connections for just a single wired device. If you want to go wireless you need a router.

A 1000 kg turbine has a rotating unbalance of 0.1 kg.m. The turbine operates at a speed between 500 to 750 rpm. What is the maxi
raketka [301]

Answer:

maximum isolator stiffness k =1764 kN-m

Explanation:

mean speed of rotation =\frac{N_1 +N_2}{2}

Nm = \frac{500+750}{2} = 625 rpm

w =\frac{2\pi Nm}{60}

  =65.44 rad/sec

F_T = mw^2 e

F_T = mew^2

       = 0.1*(65.44)^2

F_T =428.36 N

Transmission ratio =\frac{300}{428.36} = 0.7

also

transmission ratio = \frac{1}{[\frac{w}{w_n}]^{2} -1}

0.7 =\frac{1}{[\frac{65.44}{w_n}]^2 -1}

SOLVING FOR Wn

Wn = 42 rad/sec

Wn = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}

k = m*W^2_n

k = 1000*42^2 = 1764 kN-m

k =1764 kN-m

because not all substances react the same to temperature changes. If you heat a metal and an organic substance and you turn the temperature up, the organic substance like water will react (boil) while most metals need higher temperature to react.

An inventor claims to have developed a refrigerator that at steady state requires a net power input of 1.1 horsepower to remove
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The inventor's claim is false in the sense that no thermal machine can violate the first thermodynamic law.

Explanation:

The inventor's claim could not be possible as no thermal machine can transfer more heat than the input work consumed. If we expose the thermal efficiency:

n=Q out / W in

Where Q and W both must be in the same power unit, so we will convert the remove heat from BTU/hr to hp:

12000 BTU/hr = 4.72 hp

Therefore by comparing, we notice that the removing heat of 4.75 hp is large than the delivered work of 1.11 hp. By evaluating the efficiency:

[tex]n=4.75 hp / 1.1 hp  = 4.3 > 1[/tex]
