A contractor needs to excavate 50,000 yd3 of silty clay and haul it with Caterpillar 69C dump trucks. Each truck can carry 30.9

yd3 of soil per load, and operates on a 15-minute cycle. The job must be completed in five working days with the trucks working two 8-hour shifts per day. Using a bulking factor of 30%, how many trucks will be required

Answer:

Number of trucks required = 203

Explanation:

Calculate the amount of soil need to be excavated from the borrow site by using the following equation:

VF = Vf + (◇V/◇Vf) × Vf

Here,  ◇V is change in volume during grading, Vf  is the Volume of fill, and ◇V/◇Vf  is the bulkage factor

Substitute in the equation.

VF = 50000 + (30/100) 50000

VF = 50000 + 15000

VF = 65000yd^3

Number of trucks needed = (Truck cycle time / Excavator time ) × VF

Number of truck heeded= (15 / (16× 5 ×60) × 65000

Number of trucks = 975000/ 4800

Number of trucks = 203

A cylindrical specimen of a titanium alloy having an elastic modulus of 107 GPa (15.5 × 106 psi) and an original diameter of 3.7
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

the maximum length of specimen before deformation is found to be 235.6 mm

Explanation:

First, we need to find the stress on the cylinder.

Stress = σ = P/A

where,

P = Load = 2000 N

A = Cross-sectional area = πd²/4 = π(0.0037 m)²/4

A = 1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 2000 N/1.0752 x 10^-5 m²

σ = 186 MPa

Now, we find the strain (∈):

Elastic Modulus = Stress / Strain

E = σ / ∈

∈ = σ / E

∈ = 186 x 10^6 Pa/107 x 10^9 Pa

∈ = 1.74 x 10^-3 mm/mm

Now, we find the original length.

∈ = Elongation/Original Length

Original Length = Elongation/∈

Original Length = 0.41 mm/1.74 x 10^-3

<u>Original Length = 235.6 mm</u>

The electric motor exerts a torque of 800 N·m on the steel shaft ABCD when it is rotating at a constant speed. Design specificat
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

d= 4.079m ≈ 4.1m

Explanation:

calculate the shaft diameter from the torque,    \frac{τ}{r} = \frac{T}{J} = \frac{C . ∅}{l}

Where, τ = Torsional stress induced at the outer surface of the shaft (Maximum Shear stress).

r = Radius of the shaft.

T = Twisting Moment or Torque.

J = Polar moment of inertia.

C = Modulus of rigidity for the shaft material.

l = Length of the shaft.

θ = Angle of twist in radians on a length.  

Maximum Torque, ζ= τ ×  \frac{ π}{16} × d³

τ= 60 MPa

ζ= 800 N·m

800 = 60 ×  \frac{ π}{16} × d³

800= 11.78 ×  d³

d³= 800 ÷ 11.78

d³= 67.9

d= \sqrt[3]{} 67.9

d= 4.079m ≈ 4.1m
