Answer:

15 lbs

Explanation:

assuming you push from the end of the wrench (3ft)

torque = force(distance)

force = torque/distance

(45 ft·lb)/(3 ft)= 15 lbs

A fire hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.125 in. According to some fire codes, the nozzle must be capable of delivering at least 2

Furkat [3]

Answer:

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$

Explanation:

Let assume that changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. The fire hose nozzle is modelled by the Bernoulli's Principle:

$\frac{P_{1}}{\rho\cdot g} = \frac{P_{2}}{\rho \cdot g} + \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot g}$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = P_{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho v^{2}$

The speed at outlet is:

$v=\frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}}$

$v=\frac{(250\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot (\frac{3.785\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot(\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot [(1.125\,in)\cdot(\frac{0.0254\,m}{1\,in} )]^{2} }$

$v\approx 24.592\,\frac{m}{s}\,(80.682\,\frac{ft}{s} )$

The initial pressure is:

$P_{1} = 101.325\times 10^{3}\,Pa+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (24.592\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}$

$P_{1} = 403,708\,kPa\,(58.553\,psi)$

Mirror Radius (mm) Bending Failure Stress (MPa)

.603 225

.203 368

.162 442

answer : 191 mPa

Explanation:

Determine the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate

Bending stress ∝ 1 / ( mirror radius )^n ------ ( 1 )

at 0.603 bending stress = 225

at 0.203 bending stress = 368

at 0.162 bending stress = 442

applying equation 1 determine the value of n for several combinations

( 225 / 368 ) = ( 0.203 / 0.603 )^n

hence : n = 0.452

also

( 368/442 ) = ( 0.162 / 0.203 ) ^n

hence : n = 0.821

also

( 225 / 442 ) = ( 0.162 / 0.603 ) ^n

hence : n = 0.514

Next determine the average value of n

n ( mean value ) = ( 0.452 + 0.821 + 0.514 ) / 3 = 0.596

Calculate estimated stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate

= bending stress at x = 0.796 / bending stress at x = 0.603

= x / 225 = ( 0.603 / 0.796 ) ^ 0.596

therefore X ( stress present at the time of fracture of original plate )

= 225 * 0.84747

= 191 mPa

6.28 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Assume Base free flow speed (BFFS) = 70 mph

Lane width = 10 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lane width, fLW = 6.6 mph

Lateral Clearance = 4 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lateral clearance, fLC = 0.8 mph

Interchanges/Ramps = 9/ 6 miles = 1.5 /mile

Reduction in speed corresponding to Interchanges/ramps, fID = 5 mph

No. of lanes = 3

Reduction in speed corresponding to number of lanes, fN = 3 mph

Free Flow Speed (FFS) = BFFS – fLW – fLC – fN – fID = 70 – 6.6 – 0.8 – 3 – 5 = 54.6 mph

Peak Flow, V = 2000 veh/hr

Peak 15-min flow = 600 veh

Peak-hour factor = 2000/ (4*600) = 0.83

Trucks and Buses = 12 %

RVs = 6 %

Rolling Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.12 (2.5-1) + 0.06 (2.0-1)) = 1/1.24 = 0.806

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = 2000/ (0.83*3*0.806*1.0) = 996.54 ~ 997 veh/hr/ln

Vp < (3400 – 30 FFS)

S = FFS

S = 54.6 mph

Density = Vp/S = (997) / (54.6) = 18.26 veh/mi/ln

Kerosene flows through 3/4 standard type K drawn copper tube. The pressure drop measured at two points 50 m apart is 130 kPa. De

Anettt [7]

Answer:

$Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$

Explanation:

Given that

L= 50 m

Pressure drop = 130 KPa

For Copper tube is 3/4 standard type K drawn tube

Outside diameter=22.22 mm

Inside diameter=18.92 mm

Dynamic viscosity for kerosene

$\mu =0.00164\ Pa.s$

Pressure difference given as

$\Delta P=\dfrac{128\mu QL}{\pi d_i^4}$

Where

L is length of tube

μ is dynamic viscosity

Q is volume flow rate

d is inner diameter of tube

ΔP is pressure drop

Now by putting the values

$\Delta P=\dfrac{128\mu QL}{\pi d_i^4}$

$130\times 1000=\dfrac{128\times 0.00164\times 50\times Q}{\pi\times 0.0189^4}$

$Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$

So flow rate is $Q=4.98\times 10^{-3}\ m^3/s$
