Answer:

Grade is 10.32%

Explanation:

Given data:

stopping side distance is 800ft

t = 2.5 sec

design speed v = 65 miles/hr

a/g value is 0.35

stopping side distance is SSD

SSD = 1.47 vt + \frac{v^2}{30(a/g - G}

plugging all value for G

800 = 1.47 \times 65\times 2.4 + \frac{65^2}{30(0.35 -G)}

800 - 229.32 = \frac{65^2}{30(0.35 -G)}

570.68 = \frac{65^2}{30(0.35 -G)}

G = 0.1032

Grade is 10.32%

Determine the hydraulic radius for the following rectangular open channel width =23m water depth =3m
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

2.379m

Explanation:

The width = 23m

The depth = 3m

The radius is denoted as R

The wetted area is = A

The perimeter perimeter = P

Hydraulic radius

R = A/P

The area of a rectangular channel

= Width multiplied by Depth

A = 23x3

A = 69m²

Perimeter = (2x3)+23

P = 6+23

P= 29

Hydraulic radius R = 69/29

= 2.379m

This answers the question

Thank you!

The 150-lb man sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 3 lb>ft. Determine t
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

M = 281.25 lb*ft

Explanation:

Given

W<em>man</em> = 150 lb

Weight per linear foot of the boat: q = 3 lb/ft

L = 15.00 m

M<em>max</em> = ?

Initially, we have to calculate the Buoyant Force per linear foot (due to the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat):

∑ Fy = 0  (+↑)     ⇒    q'*L - W - q*L = 0

⇒       q' = (W + q*L) / L

⇒       q' = (150 lb + 3 lb/ft*15 ft) / 15 ft

⇒       q' = 13 lb/ft   (+↑)

The free body diagram of the boat is shown in the pic.

Then, we apply the following equation

q(x) = (13 - 3) = 10   (+↑)

V(x) = ∫q(x) dx = ∫10 dx = 10x   (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

M(x) = ∫10x dx = 5x²  (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

The maximum internal bending moment occurs when x = 7.5 ft

then

M(7.5) = 5(7.5)² = 281.25 lb*ft

The lattice constant of a simple cubic lattice is a0.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

A)The sketches for the required planes were drawn in the first attachment.

B)The sketches for the required directions were drawn in the second attachment.

To draw a plane in a simple cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- the cube has 3 main directions called "a", "b" and "c" (as shown in the first attachment)

2- The coordinates of that plane are written as: π:(1/a₀ 1/b₀ 1/c₀) (if one of the coordinates is 0, for example (1 1 0), c₀ is ∞, therefore that plane never cross the direction c).

3- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ at the plane that crosses this main directions and point them in the cubic cell.

4- Join the points.

To draw a direction in a simple cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ in the cubic cell.

2- Draw the direction as a vector-like (a₀ b₀ c₀).
