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

Calculate the amount of current flowing through a 75-watt light bulb that is connected to a 120-volt circuit in your home.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

P=V\times I

I is the electric current

I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A

So, the current is 0.625 A.

A tensile test was operated to test some important mechanical properties. The specimen has a gage length = 1.8 in and diameter =
oee [108]

Answer:

a) 60000 psi

b) 1.11*10^6 psi

c) 112000 psi

d) 30.5%

e) 30%

Explanation:

The yield strength is the load applied when yielding behind divided by the section.

yield strength = Fyield / A

A = π/4 * D^2

A = 0.5 in^2

ys = Fy * A

y2 = 30000 * 0.5 = 60000 psi

The modulus of elasticity (E) is a material property that is related to the object property of stiffness (k).

k = E * L0 / A

And the stiffness is related to change of length:

Δx = F / k

Then:

Δx = F * A / (E * L0)

E = F * A / (Δx * L0)

When yielding began (approximately the end of the proportional peroid) the force was of 30000 lb and the change of length was

Δx = L - L0 = 1.8075 - 1.8 = 0.0075

Then:

E = 30000 * 0.5 / (0.0075 * 1.8) = 1.11*10^6 psi

Tensile strength is the strees at which the material breaks.

The maximum load was 56050 lb, so:

ts = 56050 / 0.5 = 112000 psi

The percent elongation is calculated as:

e = 100 * (L / L0)

e = 100 * (2.35 / 1.8 - 1) = 30.5 %

If it necked with and area of 0.35 in^2 the precent reduction in area was:

100 * (1 - A / A0)

100 * (1 - 0.35 / 0.5) = 30%
