Answer:

308 acre-ft of water

Explanation:

Given:

Area of the watershed = 22 square miles

Depth of Rainfall = 0.75 in = $\frac{\textup{0.75}}{\textup{12}}$ =0.0625 ft

Percentage rainfall falling in reservoir as runoff = 35%

Now,

1 square mile = 640 acre

Thus,

22 square miles = 22 × 640 = 14,080 acres

Thus,

The total volume of rainfall = Area of watershed × Depth of the rainfall

The total volume of rainfall = 14,080 acres × 0.0625 ft = 880 acre-ft

also,

only 35% of the total rainfall is contributing as runoff

thus,

Runoff = 0.35 × 880 acre-ft = 308 acre-ft of water

Explanation:

Note: For equations refer the attached document!

The net upward pressure force per unit height p*D must be balanced by the downward tensile force per unit height 2T, a force that can also be expressed as a stress, σhoop, times area 2t. Equating and solving for σh gives:

Eq 1

Similarly, the axial stress σaxial can be calculated by dividing the total force on the end of the can, pA=pπ(D/2)2 by the cross sectional area of the wall, πDt, giving:

Eq 2

For a flat sheet in biaxial tension, the strain in a given direction such as the ‘hoop’ tangential direction is given by the following constitutive relation - with Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio ν:

Eq 3

Finally, solving for unknown pressure as a function of hoop strain:

Eq 4

Resistance of a conductor of length L, cross-sectional area A, and resistivity ρ is

Eq 5

Consequently, a small differential change in ΔR/R can be expressed as

Eq 6

Where ΔL/L is longitudinal strain ε, and ΔA/A is –2νε where ν is the Poisson’s ratio of the resistive material. Substitution and factoring out ε from the right hand side leaves

Eq 7

Where Δρ/ρε can be considered nearly constant, and thus the parenthetical term effectively becomes a single constant, the gage factor, GF

Eq 8

For Wheat stone bridge:

Eq 9

Given that R1=R3=R4=Ro, and R2 (the strain gage) = Ro + ΔR, substituting into equation above:

Eq9

Substituting e with respective stress-strain relation

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

B.29

Explanation:

In general purpose acme thread:

Nominal depth of thread=0.5 $ltimes Pitch$

Included angle =29 degrees

Generally Acme thread are following types

1.General purpose(G) Acme

2.Centralizing(C) Acme

3. Stub Acme

Centralizing(C) Acme threads have tighter tolerance during manufacturing as compare to General purpose(G) Acme threads.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Geological engineers can help determine if the soil and structural stability in the building's location are satisfactory.

Explanation:

Geologic Engineering refers to a job which applies geology to engineering. This type of job focuses on the investigation of sites in response to soil, rock and groundwater. They help design the major structures for engineering works, thus, it is also their role to know whether the building's soil and structural stability are satisfactory. They determine how much of the structure is a safe load for the soil it is standing upon. They also test the strength of both rock and soil at different depths. This will help them know whether the location will be suitable for the skyscraper.
