The correct answers are A) determined from the amplitude recorded by a single seismometer. C) represents the amount of energy released. D) uses a logarithmic scale.

The news media often report an earthquake's magnitude on the Richter scale. The following items are characteristics of a Richter earthquake magnitude: determined from the amplitude recorded by a single seismometer, represents the amount of energy released, and uses a logarithmic scale.

When measuring the scale of the magnitude of earthquakes, the Richter scale measures the scale od moderated size earthquakes. It was invented by two United States seismologists: Charles F. Richer and Beno Gutenberg. They developed the measure in California when they were researching from 1927 through 1936, in the Seismological Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in Pasadena, California.

The 150-lb man sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 3 lb>ft. Determine t
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

M = 281.25 lb*ft

Explanation:

Given

W<em>man</em> = 150 lb

Weight per linear foot of the boat: q = 3 lb/ft

L = 15.00 m

M<em>max</em> = ?

Initially, we have to calculate the Buoyant Force per linear foot (due to the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat):

∑ Fy = 0  (+↑)     ⇒    q'*L - W - q*L = 0

⇒       q' = (W + q*L) / L

⇒       q' = (150 lb + 3 lb/ft*15 ft) / 15 ft

⇒       q' = 13 lb/ft   (+↑)

The free body diagram of the boat is shown in the pic.

Then, we apply the following equation

q(x) = (13 - 3) = 10   (+↑)

V(x) = ∫q(x) dx = ∫10 dx = 10x   (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

M(x) = ∫10x dx = 5x²  (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

The maximum internal bending moment occurs when x = 7.5 ft

then

M(7.5) = 5(7.5)² = 281.25 lb*ft

How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5400 cubic yard?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Explanation:

a) By volume.

The shrinkage factor is:

\frac{5400cu-yd}{1-0.25} =7200cu-yd

The volume at loose is:

V_{loose} =V_{bank} (1+swell-factor)=7200(1+0.2)=8640cu-yd

If the Herrywampus has a capacity of 30 cubic yard:

\frac{8640cu-yd}{30cu-yd/trip} =288trip

b) By weight

The swell factor in terms of percent swell is equal to:

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{pounds-per-cubic-yard-bank}{\frac{percent-swell}{100}+1 }

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{3000}{\frac{20}{100} +1} =2500lb/cu-yd

The weight of backfill is:

8640cu-yd*2500\frac{lb}{cu-yd} *\frac{1ton}{2000lb} =10800ton

The Herrywampus has a capacity of 40 ton:

\frac{10800}{40ton/trip} =270trip

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

A thin plastic membrane is used to separate helium from a gas stream. Under steady-state conditions the concentration of helium
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

N_A=1.5*10^-8 kmol/s.m^2

Explanation:

<u>KNOWN: </u>

Molar concentration of helium at the inner and outer surfaces of a plastic membrane. Diffusion coefficient and membrane thickness.  

<u>FIND:</u>

Molar diffusion flux.  

<u>ASSUMPTIONS:</u>

(1) Steady-state conditions, (2) One-dimensional diffusion in a plane wall, (3) Stationary medium, (4) Uniform C = C_A + C_B.  

<u>ANALYSIS:</u> The molar flux may be obtained from

 N_A=D_AB/L(C_A,1-C_A,2)

       =10^-9 m^2/s/0.001 m(0.02-0.005)kmol/m^3

N_A=1.5*10^-8 kmol/s.m^2

<u>COMMENTS:</u> The mass flux is:

n_A,x=M_a*N_A,x

n_A,x=6*10^-8 kg/s m^2
