The size of Carvins Cove water reservoir is 3.2 billion gallons. Approximately, 11 cfs of water is continuous withdrawn from thi

s reservoir to support residents of Roanoke County. This reservoir is filled with water from the Roanoke River. During a severe drought, inflow into this reservoir can drop to 0.5 cfs. If the drought persists, how long (days) until this reservoir dry-up? (

Answer:

471 days

Explanation:

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir = 3.2 billion gallons i.e. 3.2 x 10˄9 gallons

As,

1 gallon = 0.133 cubic feet (cf)

Therefore,

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir in cf = 3.2 x 10˄9 x 0.133

= 4.28 x 10˄8

Applying Mass balance i.e

Accumulation = Mass In - Mass out (Eq. 01)

Here

Mass In = 0.5 cfs

Mass out = 11 cfs

Putting values in (Eq. 01)

Accumulation = 0.5 - 11

= - 10.5 cfs

Negative accumulation shows that reservoir is depleting i.e. at a rate of 10.5 cubic feet per second.

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per hour = 10.5 x 3600

= 37,800

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per day = 37, 800 x 24

= 907,200

i.e. 907,200 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1 day

1 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1/907,200 day

4.28 x 10˄8 cubic feet volume will deplete in days = (4.28 x 10˄8) x 1/907,200

= 471 Days.

Hence in case of continuous drought reservoir will last for 471 days before dry-up.

The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8 What is the probability of observing

Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Explanation:

When we only have the mean, we use the Poisson distribution.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8.

This means that $\mu = 0.8$

What is the probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Either we observe 4 or less errors, or we observe more than 4. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

We want P(X > 4). Then

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)$

In which

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.4493$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3595$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1438$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0383$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0077$

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.4493 + 0.3595 + 0.1438 + 0.0383 + 0.0077 = 0.9986$

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.9986 = 0.0014$

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Amanda [17]

Question in order:

A silicon carbide plate fractures in bending when a blunt load was applied to the plate center. The distance between the fracture origin and the mirror/mist boundary on the fracture surface was 0.796 mm. To determine the stress used to break the plate, three samples of the same material were tested and produced the following. What is the estimate of the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate?

Mirror Radius (mm) Bending Failure Stress (MPa)

0.603 225

0.203 368

0.162 442

Answer:

191 MPa

Explanation:

Failure stress of bending is Inversely proportional to the mirror radius

$Bending Stress = \frac{1}{(Mirror Radius)^{n}}$

At mirror radius 1 = 0.603 mm Bending stress 1 = 225 Mpa..............(1)

At mirror radius 2 = 0.203 mm Bending stress 2 = 368 Mpa...............(2)

At mirror radius 3 = 0.162 mm Bending stress 3 = 442 Mpa...............(3)

comparing case 1 and 2 using the above equation

$\frac{Stress 1}{Stress 2} = ({\frac{Radius 2}{Radius 1}})^{n_1}$

$\frac{225}{368} = ({\frac{0.203}{0.603}})^{n_1}$

$0.6114 = (0.3366)^{n_1}$

Taking the natural logarithm of both side

ln(0.6114) = n ln(0.3366)

n₁ = ln(0.6114)/ln(0.3366)

n₁ = 0.452

comparing case 2 and 3 using the above equation

$\frac{Stress 2}{Stress 3} = ({\frac{Radius 3}{Radius 2}})^{n_2}$

$\frac{368}{442} = ({\frac{0.162}{0.203}})^{n_2}$

$0.8326 = (0.7980)^{n_2}$

Taking the natural logarithm of both side

ln(0.8326) = n ln(0.7980)

n₂ = ln(0.8326)/ln(0.7980)

n₂ = 0.821

comparing case 1 and 3 using the above equation

$\frac{Stress 1}{Stress 3} = ({\frac{Radius 3}{Radius 1}})^{n_3}$

$\frac{225}{442} = ({\frac{0.162}{0.603}})^{n_3}$

$0.5090 = (0.2687)^{n_3}$

Taking the natural logarithm of both side

ln(0.5090) = n ln(0.2687)

n₃ = ln(0.5090)/ln(0.2687)

n₃ = 0.514

average for n

$n = \frac{n_1 + n_2 + n_3}{3}$

$n = \frac{0.452 +0.821 + 0.514}{3}$

n = 0.596

Hence to get bending stress x at mirror radius 0.796

$\frac{Stress x}{Stress 3} = ({\frac{Radius 3}{Radius x}})^{0.596}$

$\frac{Stress x}{225} = ({\frac{0.603}{0.796}})^{0.596}$

$\frac{Stress x}{225} = 0.8475$

stress x = 191 MPa
