Answer:

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/s

Explanation:

As per given figure let say the tip of the shadow is at distance "x" from the base of the lamp

so here we have

\frac{x}{15} = \frac{x - y}{6}

so we have

6x = 15 x - 15 y

15 y = 9 x

now we have

5\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\frac{dx}{dt}

5(4) = 2\frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/s

Help with this question please.
mr Goodwill [35]

There are 4 hydrogens on the right side (2\mathrm H_2=4\mathrm H), and 2 hydrogens on the left per molecule of \mathrm H_2. To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.

(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since 2\mathrm H_2\mathrm O contributes 2 oxygens, and so does \mathrm O_2.)

An aquifer pump test was conducted in a confined aquifer where the initial piezometric surface was at elevation 12.45 m, and wel
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

T = 0.0088 m²/s

Explanation:

given,

initial piezometric elevation = 12.5 m

thickness of aquifer = 14 m

discharge = 28.24 L/s = 0.02824 m³/s

we know                              

k = \dfrac{qln(\dfrac{R_2}{R_1})}{2\pi D(H_2-H_1)}

k = \dfrac{0.02824 \times ln(\dfrac{75}{25})}{2\pi \times 14 (11.45-10.89)}                                                                        

k = 0.629 mm/sec

Transmissibilty

T = k × H                          

T = 0.629 × 14 × 10⁻³

T = 0.0088 m²/s
