Answer:
Part (a) The flow rate per unit width of the aquifer is 1.0875 m³/day
Part (b) The specific discharge of the flow is 0.0363 m/day
Part (c) The average linear velocity of the flow is 0.242 m/day
Part (d) The time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells is 4132.23 days = 99173.52 hours
Explanation:
Part (a) the flow rate per unit width of the aquifer
From Darcy's law;
where;
q is the flow rate
K is the permeability or conductivity of the aquifer = 25 m/day
b is the aquifer thickness
dh is the change in th vertical hight = 50.9m - 52.35m = -1.45 m
dl is the change in the horizontal hight = 1000 m
q = -(25*30)*(-1.45/1000)
q = 1.0875 m³/day
Part (b) the specific discharge of the flow
V = 0.0363 m/day
Part (c) the average linear velocity of the flow assuming steady unidirectional flow
Va = V/Φ
Φ is the porosity = 0.15
Va = 0.0363 / 0.15
Va = 0.242 m/day
Part (d) the time taken for a tracer to travel the distance between the observation wells
The distance between the two wells = 1000 m
average linear velocity = 0.242 m/day
Time = distance / speed
Time = (1000 m) / (0.242 m/day)
Time = 4132.23 days
Answer:
T=26.03 N
Explanation:
Given that
Distance between poles = 12 m
Mass of block m= 4 kg
Sag distance = 5 m
Lets take tension in the clothesline is T.
The component of tension in vertical direction will be T cosθ.
By force balancing
2 T cosθ = 40
here
θ=39.80°
2 T cos39.8 = 40
T=26.03 N
