A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the

right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles, and the peak hour factor is 0.90. Determine the hourly volume for these conditions.

Answer:

4.071 veh/h.

Explanation:

Step one: calculate the estimated free flow speed by using the formula below;

= 75.4 - F(L) - F(C) - 3.22T^ 0.84.

The value of F(L) = 1.9 m/h and F(C) = 0.8 m/h.

Hence,

free flow speed = 75.4 - 1.9 - 0.8 - 3.22(3/6)^0.84.

free flow speed= 75.4 - 1.9 - 0.8 - 1.799

free flow speed= 70.901 mi/h = 70 mi/h.

Step two: determine the adjustment factor by using the formula below;

The adjustment factor = 1/ [1 + Pm (Em - 1) + Pn (En - 1)].

The adjustment factor = 1/[ 1+ 10/100 ( 2.5 - 1) + 0(2.0 - 1] = 0.869.

Step three;

Calculate the hourly volume;

The value corresponding to the LOS C conditions and free flow speed at 70 mi/h is 1735.

Therefore,

hourly volume, V = 1735 × 0.9 × 0.869 × 3.

Hourly volume, V = 4.071 veh/h.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

All machines have three fundamental hazards: moving parts, point of operation, and the power transmission.

Explanation:

The unit that supplies power to the machine is a critical hazard due to high energy sources being potential fatal if proper protocols are not followed. This is why lockout tagout (LOTO) measures are put in place in order to protect people while they work on equipment.

A cylindrical rod 100 mm long and having a diameter of 10.0 mm is to be deformed using a tensile load of 27,500 N. It must not e
mash [69]

Answer:

The steel is a candidate.

Explanation:

Given

P = 27,500 N

d₀ = 10.0 mm = 0.01 m

Δd = 7.5×10 ⁻³ mm (maximum value)

This problem asks that we assess the four alloys relative to the two criteria presented. The first  criterion is that the material not experience plastic deformation when the tensile load of 27,500 N is  applied; this means that the stress corresponding to this load not exceed the yield strength of the material.

Upon computing the stress

σ = P/A₀ ⇒ σ = P/(π*d₀²/4) = 27,500 N/(π*(0.01 m)²/4) = 350*10⁶ N/m²

⇒ σ = 350 MPa

Of the alloys listed, the Ti and steel alloys have yield strengths greater than 350 MPa.

Relative to the second criterion, (i.e., that Δd be less than 7.5 × 10 ⁻³  mm), it is necessary to  calculate the change in diameter Δd for these four alloys.

Then we use the equation   υ = - εx / εz = - (Δd/d₀)/(σ/E)

⇒  υ = - (E*Δd)/(σ*d₀)

Now, solving for ∆d from this expression,

∆d = - υ*σ*d₀/E

For the Aluminum alloy

∆d = - (0.33)*(350 MPa)*(10 mm)/(70*10³MPa) = - 0.0165 mm

0.0165 mm > 7.5×10 ⁻³ mm

Hence, the Aluminum alloy is not a candidate.

For the Brass alloy

∆d = - (0.34)*(350 MPa)*(10 mm)/(101*10³MPa) = - 0.0118 mm

0.0118 mm > 7.5×10 ⁻³ mm

Hence, the Brass alloy is not a candidate.

For the Steel alloy

∆d = - (0.3)*(350 MPa)*(10 mm)/(207*10³MPa) = - 0.005 mm

0.005 mm < 7.5×10 ⁻³ mm

Therefore, the steel is a candidate.

For the Titanium alloy

∆d = - (0.34)*(350 MPa)*(10 mm)/(107*10³MPa) = - 0.0111 mm

0.0111 mm > 7.5×10 ⁻³ mm

Hence, the Titanium alloy is not a candidate.
