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%.

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

Answer:

Evaporator,Compressor,Condensor ,Expanding valve

Explanation:

Split air conditioning :

Split air conditioning means that, condensor unit or some time called outdoor unit is split from evaporator.It means that evaporator and condensor are placed at some distance.

The four component of split air conditioning system are as follows

1.Evaporator

It absorb heat from room and produces the cooling effect.

2.Compressor

It compresses the refrigerant which exits from evaporator.

3.Condensor

It rejects the heat and cool the evaporator.

4.Expanding valve

It allows to refrigerant to cool up to evaporator pressure.

compressors, the gas is often cooled while being compressed to reduce the power consumed by the compressor. explain how cooling

ASHA 777 [7]

The amount of work done by steady flow devices varies with the particular gas volume. The kinetic energy of gas particles decreases during cooling.

When the gas is subjected to intermediate cooling during compression, the gas specific volume is reduced, which lowers the compressor's power consumption. Compression is less adiabatic and more isothermal because the compressed gas must be cooled between stages since compression produces heat. The system's thermodynamic cycle's cold sink temperature is lowered by cooling the compressor coils. By increasing the temperature difference between the heat source and the cold sink, this improves efficiency.

A program is seeded with 30 faults. During testing, 21 faults are detected, 15 of which are seeded faults and 6 of which are ind

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Estimated number of indigenous faults remaining undetected is 6

Explanation:

The maximum likelihood estimate of indigenous faults is given by,

$N_F=n_F\times \frac{N_S}{n_S}$ here,

$n_F$ = the number of unseeded faults = 6

$N_S$ = number of seeded faults = 30

$n_s$ = number of seeded faults found = 15

So NF will be calculated as,

$N_F=6\times \frac{30}{15}=12$

And the estimate of faults remaining is $N_F-n_F$ = 12 - 6 = 6

A three-phase wye-connected synchronous generator supplies a network through a transmission line. The network can absorb or deli

Amanda [17]

Answer:

the graph and the answer can be found in the explanation section

Explanation:

Given:

Network rated voltage = 24 kV

Impedance of network = 0.07 + j0.5 Ω/mi, 8 mi

Rn = 0.07 * 8 = 0.56 Ω

Xn = 0.5 * 8 = 4 Ω

If the alternator terminal voltage is equal to network rated voltage will have

Vt = 24 kV/√3 = 13.85 kV/phase

The alternative current is

$I_{a} =\frac{40x10^{6} }{\sqrt{3}*24x10^{3} } =926.2A$

$X_{s} =0.85\frac{13.85}{926.2} =12.7ohm$

The impedance Zn is

$\sqrt{0.56^{2}+4^{2} } =4.03ohm$

The voltage drop is

$I_{a} *Z_{n} =926.2*4.03=3732.58V$

$r_{dc} =\frac{voltage}{2*current} =\frac{13.85}{2*926.2} =7.476ohm$

rac = 1.2rdc = 1.2 * 7.476 = 8.97 Ω

The effective armature resistance is

$Z_{s} =\sqrt{R_{a}^{2}+X_{s}^{2} } =\sqrt{8.97^{2}+12.7^{2} } =15.55ohm$

The induced voltage for leading power factor is

$E_{F} ^{2} =OB^{2} +(BC-CD)^{2}$

if cosθ = 0.5

$E_{F} =\sqrt{(13850*0.5)^{2}+(\frac{3741}{2}-926.2*12.7)^{2} } =11937.51V$

if cosθ= 0.6

EF = 12790.8 V

if cosθ = 0.7

EF = 13731.05 V

if cosθ = 0.8

EF = 14741.6 V

if cosθ = 0.9

EF = 15809.02 V

if cosθ = 1

EF = 13975.6 V

The voltage regulation is

$\frac{E_{F}-V_{t} }{V_{t} } *100$

For each value:

if cosθ = 0.5

voltage regulation = -13.8%

if cosθ = 0.6

voltage regulation = -7.6%

if cosθ = 0.7

voltage regulation = -0.85%

if cosθ = 0.8

voltage regulation = 6.4%

if cosθ = 0.9

voltage regulation = 14%

if cosθ = 1

voltage regulation = 0.9%

the graph is shown in the attached image

for 10% of regulation the power factor is 0.81

A tool chest has 650 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

erica [24]

Answer:

the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Explanation:

The first diagram attached below shows the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is sliding.

Let start out by calculating the friction force

$F_f= \mu N_2$

where :

$F_f =$ friction force

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$N_2$ = normal friction

Given that:

$\mu$ = 0.3

$F_f =$ 0.3 $N_2$

Using the equation of equilibrium along horizontal direction.

$\sum f_x = 0$

P - $F_f =$ 0

P = 0.3 $N_2$ ----- Equation (1)

To determine the moment about point B ; we have the expression

$\sum M_B = 0$

0 = $N_2*70-W*35-P*100$

where;

P = horizontal force

$N_2$ = normal force at support A

W = self- weight of tool chest

Replacing W = 650 N

0 = $N_2*70-650*35-100*P$

$P = \frac{70 N_2-22750}{100} ----- equation (2)$

Replacing $\frac{70 N_2-22750}{100}$ for P in equation (1)

$\frac{70N_2 -22750}{100} =0.3 N_2$

$N_2 = \frac{22750}{40}$ $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$

Plugging the value of $N_2 = 568.75 \ N$ in equation (2)

$P = \frac{70(568.75)-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{39812.5-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{17062.5}{100}$

P =170.625 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

b) From the second diagram attached the free body diagram; the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is tipping about point A is also shown below:

Taking the moments about point A:

$\sum M_A = 0$

-(P × 100)+ (W×35) = 0

P = $\frac{W*35}{100}$

Replacing 650 N for W

$P = \frac{650*35}{100}$

P = 227.5 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P, when the tool chest tipping about point A is 227.5 N

We conclude that the motion will be impending for the lowest value when P = 170.625 N and when P= 227.5 N

However; the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.
