. 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

You’ve experienced convection cooling if you’ve ever extended your hand out the window of a moving vehicle or into a flowing wat
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Condition A

Heat flux is 1400 W/M^2

Condition B

Heat flux is 12800 w/m^2

Explanation:

Given that:

T_s is given as  30 degree celcius

condition A

Air temperature =  - 5 degree c

convection coefficient h = 40 w/m^2. k

heat\ flux = \frac{Q}{a}= h\Delta = 40{30 - (-5)} = 1400 w/m^2

condition A

water temperature  = 10 degree c

convection coefficient = 800 w/m^2.k

heat\ flux = \frac{Q}{A} = H(\Delta} = 800\times (30-14) = 12800w/m^2

A carbon resistor has a resistance of 976 ohms at 0 degrees C. Determine its resistance at 89 degrees C​
nignag [31]

Answer:

1028.1184 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Initial resistance, Ro = 976 Ohms
  • Initial temperature, T1 = 0°C
  • Final temperature, T2 = 89°C

Assuming the temperature coefficient of resistance for carbon at 0°C is equal to 0.0006 per degree Celsius.

To find determine its new resistance, we would use the mathematical expression for linear resistivity;

R_{89} = R_{0} + R_{0}(\alpha T)

Substituting into the equation, we have;

R_{89} = 976 + 976*(0.0006*89)

R_{89} = 976 + 976*(0.0534)

R_{89} = 976 + 52.1184

R_{89} = 1028.1184 \ Ohms

Why might construction crews want to install pipes before the foundation is poured
Crazy boy [7]

The answer is choice C

Explanation:

As during construction ,the site is cleared for all debris before laying out the foundation. Even the sewer lines are dug out .

So it will be useful for the construction crews to  connect the pipes to the sewer lines before the foundation is poured.

But usually the steps take in construction activity is:- first the site is cleared for the foundation to be poured  and once the foundation wall is set , then all utilities , including plumbing and electrical activities are done.,

After this process is over, the city inspector comes to check whether the foundation has been laid down as per the code of construction.

Only after that the rest of the construction activity follows through.

Problem 2: Sieve Analysis and Soil Gradation
Marina CMI [18]

<u>Explanation:</u>

% Gravel = 100 - 72% = 28%

% Sand = 100 - 28 - 15 = 57%

% Fires = 100 - 0 - 28 - 57 = 15%

\begin{aligned}&D_{n} \cdot 0.03 \quad ; \quad D_{x}=1.1 \quad ; \quad D_{0}=3.3\\&C_{u}=\frac{D_{60}}{D_{10}}=\frac{3.3}{0.03}=110\\&C_{c}=\frac{D_{30}^{2}}{D_{0} \cdot D_{0}}=\frac{1.1^{2}}{3.3 \times 0.03}=12.22\end{aligned}

The soil is poorly graded soil.
