an existing highway-railway at-grade crossing is being redesigned as grade separated to improve traffic operations. The railway

must remain at the same elevation. The highway is being reconstructed to travel under the railway. The underpass will be a sag curve that has an initial grade of -2% and a final grade of 2%. The PVI of the sag curve will be centered under the railway (a symmetrical alignment). The sag curve design speed is 45 mi/h. How many feet below the railway should the curve PVI be located

Consider an open loop 1-degree-of-freedom mass-spring damper system. The system has mass 4.2 kg, and spring stiffness of 85.9 N/
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Damping ratio  \zeta =0.0342

Explanation:

Given that

m=4.2 kg,K=85.9 N/m,C=1.3 N.s/m

We need to find damping ratio

We know that critical damping co-efficient

 C_c=2\sqrt {mk}

 C_c=2\sqrt {4.2\times 85.9}

 C_c=37.98 N.s/m

Damping ratio(\zeta) is the ratio of damping co-efficient to the critical damping co-efficient

So \zeta =\dfrac{C}{C_c}

\zeta =\dfrac{1.3}{37.98}

\zeta =0.0342

So damping ratio  \zeta =0.0342

A tensile test was made on a tensile specimen, with a cylindrical gage section which had a diameter of 10 mm, and a length of 40
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The answers are as follow:

a) 10 mm

b) 12.730 N/mm^{2}

c) 127.307 N/mm^{2}

d) 0.25

Explanation:

d1 = 10mm , L1 = 40 mm, L2 = 50 mm, reduction in area = 90% = 0.9

Force = F =1000 N

let us find initial area first, A1 = pi*r^{2} = 78.55 mm^{2}

using reduction in area formula : 0.9 = (A1 - A2 ) / A1

solving it will give,  A2 = 0.1 A1 = 7.855  mm^{2}

a) The specimen elongation is final length - initial length

50 - 40 = 10 mm

b) Engineering stress uses the original area for all stress calculations,

Engineering stress = force / original area  = F / A1 = 1000 / 78.55  

Engineering stress = 12.730 N / mm^{2}

c) True stress uses instantaneous area during stress calculations,

True fracture stress = force / final  area  = F / A2 = 1000 / 7.855

True Fracture stress = 127.30 N / mm^{2}

e) strain = change in length / original length

strain = 10 / 40  = 0.25

2.11 Consider a 400 mm × 400 mm window in an aircraft. For a temperature difference of 90°C from the inner to the outer surface
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The heat loss rate through one of the windows made of polycarbonate is 252W. If the window is made of aerogel, the heat loss rate is 16.8W. If the window is made of soda-lime glass, the heat loss rate is 1190.4W.

The cost associated with the heat loss through the windows for an 8-hour flight is:

For aerogel windows: $17.472 (most efficient)

For polycarbonate windows: $262.08

For soda-lime glass windows: $1,238.016 (least efficient)

Explanation:

To calculate the heat loss rate through the window, we can use a model of heat transmission by conduction throw flat wall. Using unidimensional Fourier law:

\frac{dQ}{dt}=\dot Q =-kS\nabla \vec{T}

In this case:

\dot Q =k\frac{S}{L} \Delta T

If we replace the data provided by the problem we get the heat loss rate through one of the windows of each material (we only have to change the thermal conductivities).

To obtain the thermal conductivity of the soda-lime glass we use the graphic attached to this answer (In this case for soda-lime glass k₃₀₀=0.992w/m·K).

To calculate the cost associated with the heat loss through the windows for an 8-hour flight we use this formula (using the heat loss rate calculated in each case):

Cost=C_{hc}\cdot \dot Q \cdot t \cdot n=1\frac{\$}{Kwh} \cdot \dot Q \cdot 8h \cdot 130

Q.13 In order to produce maximum starting torque in a split-phase motor, how many degrees out of phase should the start- and run
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

D. 90 degrees.

Explanation:

Torque is a rotational force which moves an object in other direction. There should be 90 degrees out of phase to start, run winding currents with each other. Torque is produced by the rotational motion of an object. The angle of the object must be 90 degrees set in order to create torque.

What pounds per square inch is required by a bubbler system to produce bubbles at a depth of 4 ft 7 in water?
Brut [27]
2.31 ft/psig

1.98 psig would equalize feet of head 4’7”

4.583/2.31 = 1.98. .583 is 7”/12”


So round off to 2.0 psig to get steady stream of bubbles
