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

The first thing you should do is develop a <u>budget</u> to determine what vehicle you can afford.

<h3>What is an automobile?</h3>

An automobile is also referred to as a vehicle, car or motorcar and it can be defined as a four-wheeled vehicle that is designed and developed to be propelled by an internal-combustion (gasoline) engine, especially for the purpose of transportation from one location to another.

<h3>What is a budget?</h3>

A budget can be defined as a financial plan that is typically used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, business organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the first thing anyone should do is to develop a <u>budget</u> in order to determine what vehicle they can afford.

A hypothetical metal alloy has a grain diameter of 2.4 × 10−2 mm. After a heat treatment at 575°C for 500 min, the grain diamete
Alex

Answer:

The time required is 10.078 hours or 605 min

Explanation:

The formula to apply here is ;

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t

where t is time in hours

d is grain diameter to be achieved after heating in mm

d₀ is the grain diameter before heating in mm

Given

d=5.5 × 10^-2 mm

d₀=2.4 × 10^-2 mm

t₁= 500 min = 500/60 =25/3 hrs

t₂=?

n=2.2

First find K

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t₁

K={ (5.1 × 10^-2 mm)²-(2.4 × 10−2 mm)² }/ 25/3

K=(0.051²-0.024²) ÷25/2

K=0.000243 mm²/h

Re-arrange equation for K ,to get the equation for d as;

d=√(d₀²+ Kt)  where now t=t₂

d=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243*t} \\\\0.055=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243t} \\\\0.055^2=0.024^2+0.000243t\\\\0.055^2-0.024^2=0.000243t\\\\0.002449=0.000243t\\\\0.002449/0.000243=t\\\\10.078=t\\\\t=605min

Let “w” and “L” be the width and length of the rectangle. “p” and “a” are perimeter and area
For python,
w=int(input(“width”))
l=int(input(“length”))
a= w*l
p=2*w+2*l

What does this middle button on the middle of my Chevrolet equinox steering wheel mean?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Depending on how new your vehicle is, to me it looks like some sort of turn on button for forward collision safety feature, but i'm not an expert with this particular vehicle. If you want a better answer, I strongly suggest looking at the owner's manual under which should be located in the front dash compartment on the passengers side. Once you have the manual, look in the appendix until you find controls (or something similar) then go to that page and read about your vehicles control buttons. Your answer should be in the manual.

Something that all automobile owners should do right after purchasing a new vehicle, is reading the owners manual. As boring as it may seem, reading the owner's manual will help you get used to your new car quicker and give you instructions on how to take care of your car so that it lasts.

Have a great day, and I wish you safe traveling for now and forever! :)

What was the role of the rotors in the enigma machine?.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Implements a reordering of the letters of the alphabet.

Explanation: GIVE ME 5 STARS AND a HEART!!!                                      Those contacts are wired across the rotor so that each contact on the left connects to the contact on the right in some scrambled arrangement. Each rotor, therefore, implements a reordering of the letters of the alphabet, which mathematicians call a permutation.
