A residential subdivision encompasses 1100 acres with a housing density of four houses per acre. Assume that a high-value reside

nce uses 800 g/day/house and has a fire flow requirement of 1000 gpm. If the water system has a daily peaking factor = 1.64 and an hourly peaking factor = 2.5, determine (a) the average daily demand of this subdivision and (b) the design-demand used to design the distribution system.

Answer:

(a). The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). The design-demand used to design the distribution system is 2444.44 gallon/min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 1100 acres

Number of house in 1 acres = 4

$\text{Number of house in 1100 acres} = 4\times1100$

$\text{Number of house in 1100 acres} = 4400$

Per house water demand = 800 g/day/house

(a). We need to calculate the average daily demand of this subdivision

Using formula for average daily demand

$\text{average daily demand}=house\times\text{Per house water demand}$

$\text{average daily demand}=4400\times800\ gallon/day$

$\text{average daily demand}=3520000\ gallon/day$

$\text{average daily demand}=\dfrac{3520000}{24\times60}\ gallon/min$

$\text{average daily demand}=2444.44\ gallon/min$

The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). We need to calculate the design-demand used to design the distribution system

Using formula for the design-demand

$\text{design demand}=(Q_{max})daily\times\text{fire flow}$

$\text{design demand}=1.64\times2444.4\times1000$

$\text{design demand}=4008816\ gallon/m$

Hence, (a). The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). The design-demand used to design the distribution system is 2444.44 gallon/min.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

Explanation:

For this exercise we must suppose a criterion when two light sources are considered separated, we use the most common criterion the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two light sources are separated census the central maximum of one of them coincides with the first minimum of the other source

Let's write the diffraction equation for a slit

a sin θ = m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, also field in these we experience the angles are very small, we can approximate the sin θ = θ

θ = λ / a

In our case, the pupil is circular, so the system must be solved in polar coordinates, so a numerical constant is introduced.

θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the diameter of the pupil

Let's apply this equation to our case

θ = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 0.460 10⁻²

θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

This is the angle separation to solve the two light sources

A brick falls to the ground. if the time for the collision of the brick and the ground is increased by a factor of 4, the force

melomori [17]

Answer:

By a factor of 1/4.

Explanation:

The impulse force that applies to an object undergoing rapid deceleration just before coming to a stop on the ground is given by the following formula,

$\\\begin{aligned}\\\small F &=\small \frac{\Delta (mV)}{\Delta T}\end{aligned}$

in which $\small \Delta (mV)$ , $\small \Delta t$ represent the change in momentum and the time taken for that change.

If one increases the time that is taken for the momentum change (which remains constant for this situation) by a factor 4 and if that new force is represented by $\small F_1$ , the following manipulation confirms the answer to this question.

$\begin{aligned}\\\small F_1 &=\small \frac{\Delta (mV)}{4\Delta t}\\\\&=\small \frac{1}{4}\times\bigg[\frac{\Delta (mV)}{\Delta t}\bigg]\\\\&=\small \frac{1}{4}F\end{aligned}$

Here $\small F$ is the force that was applied to the object previously.

Take a long look at the moon. What evidence do you see that indicates that it is NOT tectonically active Explain.

eduard

<span>Without plate tectonics, new mountain belts could not form. Earth would be a Waterworld with occasional shield volcanoes emerging briefly above the waves. If regular catastrophic convective overturn occurred, as on Venus, life would have a precarious foothold indeed.
