For a maximum superelevation of 0.08 ft/ft and a degree of curve of 4o, calculate the maximum safe speed for the curve assuming

that the side friction factor is 0.13. Using ADOT tables determine the maximum design speed. Comment on why the two values are different.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Superelation= 0.08ft/ft

Given curve= u•

Curve junction factor= 0.13

DR= 5729.57795

R = 5729.57795/D

R = 5729.57795/4

R = 1432.4ft

c + f = V^2/gG

0.08 + 0.13 = V^2 / (32*1432.4)

V^2 = 9625.728 or V = 98 ft/sec

The designed speed for a project considered is a minimum value which means the highway design elements will meet or exceed the standards for the design speed. The maximum safe speed under normal condition is significantly greater than design speed

When a 70 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? Assume, for simplicity, that the stool
allochka39001 [22]

The diameter of one leg of the stool is missing and it's 2cm.

Answer:

(ΔL/L) = 0.00729%

Explanation:

If the Weight of the man is W, the weight will be distributed equally on the 3 legs and so the reactions for each leg will be W/3 or F/3.

Now, Youngs modulus(Y) of douglas fir wood is about 1.3 x 10^(10) N/m^2. Gotten from youngs modulus of common materials.

Now, weight of man is 70kg.

Now diameter of one leg is 2cm.so radius of one leg = 2/2 = 1cm = 1 x 10^(-2)m

Area for one leg is; π( 1 x 10^(-2)m)^2 = 3.14 x 10^(-4)m

Now as stated earlier, the force on one leg is; F/3.

Now F = mg = 70 x 9.81 = 686.7N

So, force on one leg = 686.7/3 = 228. 9N

Now we know youngs modulus(Y) = Stress/Strain.

Stress = F/A while Strain = ΔL/L

Therefore Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

And therefore, (ΔL/L) = F/(AY)

So (ΔL/L) = 228.9/(3.14 x 10^(-4))x(1.3 x 10^(10)) = 7. 29 x 10^(-5)

When expressed in percentage, it becomes 0.00729%

What is the force acting on a 10kg object that accelerates from 5 m/s to 20 m/s in 5s?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

v= u + at

20 = 5 + a(5)

15= a(5)

a= 3 m/s²

Force = mass × acceleration

= 10 × 3

= 30 N
