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

Who can work on a fixed ladder that extends more than 24 feet?
baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the fixed ladder will reach more than twenty-four (24) feet above a lower level, you as the employer are required to incorporate a personal fall arrest or ladder safety system into the installation of the ladder. For reference, this requirement is cited in OSHA Section 1910.28(b)(9)(i).

If the total length of the climb on a fixed ladder equals or exceeds 24 feet (7.3 m), the ladder must be equipped with ladder safety devices; or self-retracting lifelines and rest platforms at intervals not to exceed 150 feet (45.7 m); or a cage or well and multiple ladder sections with each ladder section not

The difference between an initial condition and a boundary condition for conduction in a solid is:___________
leva [86]

Answer:

c. an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.

Explanation:

Conduction refers to the transfer of thermal energy or electric charge as a result of the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

Hence, the difference between an initial condition and a boundary condition for conduction in a solid is that an initial condition specifies the temperature at the start of the problem and a boundary condition provides information about temperatures on the boundaries.
