Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a

cre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumps 1.7 in. of rain in 30 min on a town of area 29 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town?

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

The voltage across the terminals of an ac power supply varies with time according to V=V0cos(t). The voltage amplitude is V0 = 4
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

A) V_rms = 29 V

B) Vav = 0 V

Explanation:

A) We are told that;

V = V_o cos ωt

voltage amplitude; V = V_o = 41.0V

Now, the formula for the root-mean-square potential difference Vrms is given as;

V_rms = V/√2

Thus plugging in relevant values, we have;

V_rms = 41/√2

V_rms = 29 V

B) Due to the fact that the voltage is sinusoidal from the given V = V_o cos ωt, we can say that the average potential difference Vav between the two terminals of the power supply would be zero.

Thus; Vav = 0 V
