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 Approximately, 11 cfs of water is continuous withdrawn from thi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.

a metal coin has certain properties that can be measured.which property of a coin is different on the moon that is on earth?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Coins weigh less on the Moon.

Explanation:

Gravity is only 1/6th as strong on the Moon than it is on Earth. Where a nickle is about 5 grams on Earth, it is less than 1 gram on the Moon. Gravity is affected by the size of the planet or moon. The Moon is much less massive than the Earth.

The alignment readings for the front of a vehicle are shown above. Camber and toe are within specification, caster is not. Techn
dlinn [17]

Answer:

B. B only

Given Information:

1. Camber and toe are within specification

2. Caster is not within specification

Technician A says that with the current settings, the left front tire tread may wear on the inside edge.

Technician B says that with the current settings, the vehicle may pull to the left

Explanation:

Lets discuss the effects of Camber, toe and caster misalignment

Effects of Camber and Toe misalignment:

Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the fron tires and is used to distribute load across the tread. Any misalignment causes uneven loading on the tires which results in tire wear on one edge.

The most common cause of tire wear on the inside edge is due to the camber misalignment which results in premature tire wear.

Another reason is of tire wear is vehicle’s toe. A slight misalignment of the toe reduces the life of the tire.

Since it is given that camber settings and toe settings are within specification therefore, tire tread wear on the inside edge cannot happen if camber and toe are within specification.

Technician A cannot be right.

Effects of Caster misalignment:

Whenever there is a misalignment of the castor then the vehicle will not be able to go in straight line rather it will pull to either left or right side. Caster misalignment also causes heavy or light steering depending upon the positive or negative misalignment of caster.

Since it is given that caster settings are not within specification therefore, the vehicle may pull to the left due to the caster misalignment.

Technician B must be right.

Trade-offs can be necessary at any point in time during the life cycle of a project. It is quite possible, and probable, for the
anastassius [24]

Answer:

According to the Principles of Project management, the three factors which dominate the lifecycle of any project are:

  1. Time;
  2. Cost; and
  3. Performance.

The relationship between the three is usually governed by trade-offs.

Explanation:

In simple term, in executing a project, one must deal with the factors mentioned above.

It is always desirous for a project to be finished within a stipulated time. If the time required is reduced inconsiderably, it will most likely incur more cost and even impact performance.

On the other hand, if the project is cost-sensitive and is executed to a very minimalistic budget, performance will be impacted and it may take a protracted amount of time.

In addition to the above, if the principal decides to change the original design of the project, the performance expected is altered. This will attract additional time as well as cost.

It is possible for any of the above factors to be renegotiated and readjusted at any time during the project. It usually is a trade-off.. that is one for the other.

Cheers!
