A concrete pump of 120-cy/hr max. output is used to place 250 cy of concrete. It is supplied by 8 cy transit-mix trucks arriving

to the site every 15 mins. Barring interruptions how many hours will the operation require, considering 80% efficiency factor.

Answer:

Completing the operation will require 9.765625 hours.

Explanation:

First, let's check which of the stages will be the process limitation:

Regarding the pump, it can perform up to 120 cy/h. The trucks will deliver 8 cy every 15 min, i.e., 32 cy/h, then this is the smaller capacity within the whole process.

Now, let's establish a simple relation:

Placement speed x Efficiency = Placed quantity / time,

solving for time. we have

t = \frac{q}{\epsilon s} = \frac{250 cy}{0.8\times 32\frac{cy}{h}} = \mathbf{9.765625 h}.

Name the forces acting on a plastic bucket container water held above ground level in your hand. Discuss why the forces acting o
SashulF [63]

There are two forces at play:

  • The gravitational force acting downward due to the mass of the bucket and the water that it contains.
  • The upward force that your hand exerts on the bucket.

If the magnitude of the force your hand exerts on the bucket equals the magnitude of the gravitational force, the bucket is in static equilibrium. That means the bucket is not moving and the forces acting on it balance each other out, making the net force 0.

Having 0 net force means the bucket doesn't undergo any acceleration, or change in motion.

Science Seminar Question: Why did Vehicle 2 fall off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene but Vehicle 2 did not fal
asambeis [7]

Complete Question:

Check the file attached to get the complete question

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, Weight_{vehicle 1} < Weight_{vehicle 2} but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because Weight_{vehicle 1} \geq Weight_{vehicle 2}

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff.  In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.

On a horizontal surface is located
Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N)   →   <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N)   →   <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)
