A minor road intersects a major 4-lane divided road with a design speed of 55mph and a median width of 8 feet. The intersection
is controlled with a stop sign on the minor road. If the design vehicle is a passenger car, determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road that will allow a stopped vehicle on the minor road to safely turn left if the approach grade on the minor road is 3%.
1 answer:
Answer:
stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters
Explanation:
The Design Speed =55 MPH(Miles per Hour)
1 miles per hour =0.447 meter pe second
then 55MPH=55*0.447=24.58 meter per second
Consider recation time =2.5 second
Consider Co efficinet friction is 0.35
As per the Stopping sight distance based on the Breaking distance+ Lag distance
SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2gf))
SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*0.35))
The total stopping sight distance is =150 meters
if we consider the Approaching garde on the minor road is 3%
SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2g(f-n/100))
SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*(0.35-3/100))
then stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters

Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain hydrocarbon in ricinoleic acid (a major component of the oil), offer several possibilities of transforming it into variety of materials. The oil is thus a potential alternative to petroleum-based starting chemicals for the production of materials with variety of properties. Despite this huge potential, very little has recently been reviewed on the use of castor oil as a bio-resource in the production of functional materials. This review therefore highlights the potential of castor oil in the production of these diverse materials with their projected global market potential. The review gives the background information of castor oil and its geographical availability, the properties and its uses as bio-based resource for synthesis of various materials. The review further highlights on the use of castor oil or ricinoleic acid as a green capping agent in the synthesis of nanomaterials.
