. A roadway is being designed capable of allowing 70 mph vehicle speed. The superelevation around one curve is 0.05 inches per i

nch and the coefficient of side friction is 0.09. (a) Determine the minimum radius of the curve to the vehicle to provide safe travel. (b) Suppose the radius of the curve to the center of the vehicle is only 1500 feet. What speed limit will need to be posted for safe travel through the curve

The minimum radius of the curve to the vehicle to provide safe travel is 2339.2 ft

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Speed allowed, v = 70mph

1 mph = 1.467 fps (feet per second)

Therefore, v = 70 X 1.467 fps

Superelevation, e = 0.05 inches/inch

Coefficient of side friction, fs = 0.09

Minimum radius of the curve, r = ?

We know,

r = v² / g ( fs + e/100 )

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity in feet

g = 32.2 lb.ft / lbf.s²

r = ( 70 X 1.467 )² / 32.2 ( 0.09 + 0.05 )

r = 2339.2 ft

Therefore, the minimum radius of the curve to the vehicle to provide safe travel is 2339.2 ft

Bulk wind shear is calculated by finding the vector difference between the winds at two different heights. Using the supercell w

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

2. 0-1 km shear value: taking winds at 1000mb and 850 mb

15 kts south easterly and 50 kts southerly

Vector difference 135/15 and 180/50 will be 170/61 or southerly 61 kts

3. 0-6 km shear value: taking winds at 1000 mb and 500 mb

15 kts south easterly and 40 kts westerly

Vector difference 135/15 and 270/40 will be 281/51 kts

A 500-km, 500-kV, 60-Hz, uncompensated three-phase line has a positivesequence series impedance. z = 5 0.03 1 + j 0.35 V/km and

Anni [7]

Answer:

A) 282.34 - j 12.08 Ω

B) 0.0266 + j 0.621 / unit

C)

A = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit

B = 164.6 < 85.42°Ω

C = 2.061 * 10^-3 < 90.32° s

D = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit

Explanation:

Given data :

Z ( impedance ) = 0.03 i + j 0.35 Ω/km

positive sequence shunt admittance ( Y ) = j4.4*10^-6 S/km

A) calculate Zc

Zc = $\sqrt{\frac{z}{y} }$ = $\sqrt{\frac{0.03 i + j 0.35}{j4.4*10^-6 } }$

= $\sqrt{79837.128< 4.899^o}$ = 282.6 < -2.45°

hence Zc = 282.34 - j 12.08 Ω

B) Calculate gl

gl = $\sqrt{zy} * d$

d = 500

z = 0.03 i + j 0.35

y = j4.4*10^-6 S/km

gl = $\sqrt{0.03 i + j 0.35* j4.4*10^-6} * 500$

= $\sqrt{1.5456*10^{-6} < 175.1^0} * 500$

= 0.622 < 87.55 °

gl = 0.0266 + j 0.621 / unit

C) exact ABCD parameters for this line

A = cos h (gl) . per unit = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit ( as calculated )

B = Zc sin h (gl) Ω = 164.6 < 85.42°Ω ( as calculated )

C = 1/Zc sin h (gl) s = 2.061 * 10^-3 < 90.32° s ( as calculated )

D = cos h (gl) . per unit = 0.812 < 1.09° per unit ( as calculated )

where : cos h (gl) = $\frac{e^{gl} + e^{-gl} }{2}$

sin h (gl) = $\frac{e^{gl}-e^{-gl} }{2}$

A sample of sand weighs 490 g in stock and 475 in Oven Dry (OD) condition, respectively. If absorption capability of the sand is

Ivahew [28]

The weight of the specimen in SSD condition is 373.3 cc

<u>Explanation</u>:

a) Apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

Where,

A = mass of oven dried test sample in air = 1034 g

B = saturated surface test sample in air = 1048.9 g

C = apparent mass of saturated test sample in water = 975.6 g

apparent specific gravity = $\frac{A}{A-C}$

= $\frac{1034}{1034-675 \cdot 6}$

Apparent specific gravity = 2.88

b) Bulk specific gravity $G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{A}{B-C}$

$G_{B}^{O D}=\frac{1034}{1048.9-675 \cdot 6}$

= 2.76

c) Bulk specific gravity (SSD):

$G_{B}^{S S D}=\frac{B}{B-C}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9}{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}$

$G_{B}^{S S D}$ = 2.80

d) Absorption% :

$=\frac{B-A}{A} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-1034}{1034} \times 100$

Absorption = 1.44 %

e) Bulk Volume :

$v_{b}=\frac{\text { weight of dispaced water }}{P \omega t}$

$=\frac{1048 \cdot 9-675 \cdot 6}{1}$

= $373.3 cc$

3) Explain how dc machines Can work as motor and generator

weeeeeb [17]

The working principle of a DC machine is when electric current flows through a coil within a magnetic field, and then the magnetic force generates a torque that rotates the dc motor. The DC machines are classified into two types such as DC generator as well as DC motor.
