Answer:

The dimensions are 0.95 in

Explanation:

Given:

l = length = 64 in

lc/2 = 64/2 = 32 in

FOS = factor of safety = 3

E = 10.6x10⁶ psi

σ = 40000 psi

The square section is

I = a⁴/12

P=\frac{\pi^{2}*E*I  }{lc^{2} }\\6500=\frac{\pi ^{2}*10.6x10^{6}*a^{4}   }{12*32^{2} } \\a=0.95in

σallowable = σ/3 = 40000/3 = 13333.3 psi

Area = a² = 0.95² = 0.902 in²

σactual = 6500/0.902 = 7206.2 psi

like σactual < σallowable, the dimensions are 0.95 in

Answer: 0.95 inches

Explanation:

A direct load on a column is considered or referred to as an axial compressive load. A direct concentric load is considered axial. If the load is off center it is termed eccentric and is no longer axially applied.

The length= 64 inches

Ends are fixed Le= 64/2 = 32 inches

Factor Of Safety (FOS) = 3. 0

E= 10.6× 10^6 ps

σy= 4000ps

The square cross-section= ia^4/12

PE= π^2EI/Le^2

6500= 3.142^2 × 10^6 × a^4/12×32^2

a^4= 0.81 => a=0.81 inches => a=0.95 inches

Given σy= 4000ps

σallowable= σy/3= 40000/3= 13333. 33psi

Load acting= 6500

Area= a^2= 0.95 ×0.95= 0.9025

σactual=6500/0.9025

σ actual < σallowable

The dimension a= 0.95 inches

Base course aggregate has a target dry density of 119.7 Ib/cu ft in place. It will be laid down and compacted in a rectangular s
djyliett [7]

Answer:

total weight of aggregate =  5627528 lbs = 2814 tons  

Explanation:

we get  here volume of space to be filled with aggregate that is

volume = 2000 × 48 × 0.5

volume = 48000 ft³

now filling space with aggregate of the density that is

density = 0.95 × 119.7

density = 113.72 lb/ft³

and dry weight of this aggregate is

dry weight = 48000 × 113.72

dry weight = 5458320 lbs

we consider here percent moisture is by weigh

so weight of moisture in aggregate will be

weight of moisture = 0.031 × 5458320

weight of moisture = 169208 lbs

so here total weight of aggregate is

total weight of aggregate = 5458320 + 169208

total weight of aggregate =  5627528 lbs = 2814 tons

What Advantage does a voltmeter have over a noncontact voltage indicator when testing for voltage
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Obviously you shouldn't rely just on the meter for your safety. You'd disconnect wall fuses or kill main switches before you start, using the meter just gives you some extra protection: with the meter you might notice for example that you've disconnected the wrong fuse and the unit is still live.

Explanation:

Hope it helps! :)

6.28 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Assume Base free flow speed (BFFS) = 70 mph

Lane width = 10 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lane width, fLW = 6.6 mph

Lateral Clearance = 4 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lateral clearance, fLC = 0.8 mph

Interchanges/Ramps = 9/ 6 miles = 1.5 /mile

Reduction in speed corresponding to Interchanges/ramps, fID = 5 mph

No. of lanes = 3

Reduction in speed corresponding to number of lanes, fN = 3 mph

Free Flow Speed (FFS) = BFFS – fLW – fLC – fN – fID = 70 – 6.6 – 0.8 – 3 – 5 = 54.6 mph

Peak Flow, V = 2000 veh/hr

Peak 15-min flow = 600 veh

Peak-hour factor = 2000/ (4*600) = 0.83

Trucks and Buses = 12 %

RVs = 6 %

Rolling Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.12 (2.5-1) + 0.06 (2.0-1)) = 1/1.24 = 0.806

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = 2000/ (0.83*3*0.806*1.0) = 996.54 ~ 997 veh/hr/ln

Vp < (3400 – 30 FFS)

S = FFS

S = 54.6 mph

Density = Vp/S = (997) / (54.6) = 18.26 veh/mi/ln

A gas expands in a piston-cylinder assembly from p1 = 8 bar, V1 = 0.02 m3 to p2 = 2 bar. The relation between pressure and volum
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The heat transfer is 29.75 kJ

Explanation:

The process is a polytropic expansion process

General polytropic expansion process is given by PV^n = constant

Comparing PV^n = constant with PV^1.2 = constant

n = 1.2

(V2/V1)^n = P1/P2

(V2/0.02)^1.2 = 8/2

V2/0.02 = 4^(1/1.2)

V2 = 0.02 × 3.2 = 0.064 m^3

W = (P2V2 - P1V1)/1-n

P1 = 8 bar = 8×100 = 800 kPa

P2 = 2 bar = 2×100 = 200 kPa

V1 = 0.02 m^3

V2 = 0.064 m^3

1 - n = 1 - 1.2 = -0.2

W = (200×0.064 - 800×0.02)/-0.2 = -3.2/-0.2 = 16 kJ

∆U = 55 kJ/kg × 0.25 kg = 13.75 kJ

Heat transfer (Q) = ∆U + W = 13.75 + 16 = 29.75 kJ
