ade of concrete (n equals 0.013) and has a longitudinal slope of 1 percent sign. If the flow rate on a particular day is 125 space f t cubed divided by s, determine the depth of flow in the channel. Assume steady uniform flow.

Answer:

d = 3.25 ft

Explanation:

n = 0.013

side slope, m = 1

Flow rate, Q = 125 ft³/s

Width, w = 3 ft

Longitudinal slope, S = 1% = 0.01

Let the depth = d

Area, A = wd = 3d

The equation for the flow rate can be given as:

$Q = \frac{1.49}{n} AR_{h} ^{2/3} S^{1/2}$ ...........................(1)

$R_{h} = \frac{Area}{Perimeter} \\R_{h} = \frac{3d}{3 + 2d}\\$

Substituting all appropriate values into equation (1)

$125 = \frac{1.49}{0.013} *3d*(\frac{3d}{3+2d})^{2/3} * 0.01^{1/2}$

$125 = \frac{71.52d^{5/3} }{(3+2d)^{2/3} } \\1.75(3+2d)^{2/3} = d^{5/3}\\(3+2d)^{2/3} = 0.57d^{5/3}\\3+2d = (0.57d^{5/3})^{3/2} \\3+2d = 0.43d^{5/2}\\(3+2d)^{2} = 0.187d^{5} \\9 + 6d + 4d^{2} = 0.187d^{5}\\ 0.187d^{5}- 4d^{2}-6d -9 = 0\\d^{5}-21.39d^{2}-32.09d -48.13 = 0\\$

On solving the equation above

d = 3.25 ft

Burn rate can be affected by: A. Variations in chamber pressure B. Variations in initial grain temperature C. Gas flow velocity

Digiron [165]

Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Burn rate can be affected by all of the above reasons as, variation in chamber pressure because the pressure are dependence on the burn rate and temperature variation in initial gain can affect the rate of the chemical reactions and initial gain in the temperature increased the burning rate. As, gas flow velocity also influenced to increasing the burn rate as it flowing parallel to the surface burning. Burn rate is also known as erosive burning because of the variation in flow velocity and chamber pressure.

E total kinetic energy of a 2500 lbm car when it is moving at 80 mph (in BTU)?

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

KE= 687.21 BTU

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of car = 2500 lbm

We know that 1 lb=0.45 kg

So the mass of car m =1133.98 kg

Velocity of car= 80 mph

We know that 1 mph =0.44 m/s

So velocity of car = 35.76 m/s

As we know that kinetic energy (KE) is given as follows

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Now by putting the values

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1133.98\times 35.76^2$

KE=725.05 KJ

We know that 1 KJ = 0.94 BTU

So KE= 687.21 BTU

The wires each have a diameter of 12 mm, length of 0.6 m, and are made from 304 stainless steel. Determine the magnitude of forc

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Magnitude of force P = 25715.1517 N

Explanation:

Given - The wires each have a diameter of 12 mm, length of 0.6 m, and are made from 304 stainless steel.

To find - Determine the magnitude of force P so that the rigid beam tilts 0.015∘.

Proof -

Given that,

Diameter = 12 mm = 0.012 m

Length = 0.6 m

$\theta$ = 0.015°

Youngs modulus of elasticity of 34 stainless steel is 193 GPa

Now,

By applying the conditions of equilibrium, we have

∑fₓ = 0, ∑ $f_{y}$ = 0, ∑M = 0

If ∑ $M_{A}$ = 0

⇒ $F_{BC}$ ×0.9 - P × 0.6 = 0

⇒ $F_{BC}$ ×3 - P × 2 = 0

⇒ $F_{BC}$ = $\frac{2P}{3}$

If ∑ $M_{B}$ = 0

⇒ $F_{AD}$ ×0.9 = P × 0.3

⇒ $F_{AD}$ ×3 = P

⇒ $F_{AD}$ = $\frac{P}{3}$

Now,

Area, A = $\frac{\pi }{4} X (0.012)^{2}$ = 1.3097 × 10⁻⁴ m²

We know that,

Change in Length , $\delta$ = $\frac{P l}{A E}$

Now,

$\delta_{AD} = \frac{P(0.6)}{3(1.3097)(10^{-4}) (193)(10^{9} }$ = 9.1626 × 10⁻⁹ P

$\delta_{BC} = \frac{2P(0.6)}{3(1.3097)(10^{-4}) (193)(10^{9} }$ = 1.83253 × 10⁻⁸ P

Given that,

$\theta$ = 0.015°

⇒ $\theta$ = 2.618 × 10⁻⁴ rad

So,

$\theta = \frac{\delta_{BC} - \delta_{AD}}{0.9}$

⇒2.618 × 10⁻⁴ = ( 1.83253 × 10⁻⁸ P - 9.1626 × 10⁻⁹ P) / 0.9

⇒P = 25715.1517 N

∴ we get

Magnitude of force P = 25715.1517 N

An escalator handles a steady load of 26 people per minute in elevating them from the first to the second floor through a vertic

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$\eta = 70.711\,\%$

Explanation:

The power needed to make the escalator working is obtained by means of the Work-Energy Theorem:

$\dot W = \dot U_{g}$

$\dot W = \dot n \cdot m_{p}\cdot g \cdot \Delta y$

$\dot W = \left(26\,\frac{persons}{min}\right)\cdot (124\,lbm)\cdot \left(32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,lbf}{32.174\,\frac{lbm\cdot ft}{s^{2}} } \right)\cdot (27.5\,ft)$

$\dot W = 88660\,\frac{lbf\cdot ft}{min}\,\left(2.687\,hp\right)$

The mechanical efficiency of the escalator is:

$\eta = \frac{2.687\,hp}{3.8\,hp}\times 100\,\%$

$\eta = 70.711\,\%$
