A rectangular concrete (n=0.013) channel 20 feet wide, on a 2.5% slope, is discharging 400 ft3 /sec into a stilling basin. The s

tilling basin is also 20 feet wide and has a water depth of 8 ft determined from the downstream channel condition. What is the length of the stilling basin? What is the height of the endsill?

Answer:

Length of stilling basin = 32.9 feet

Height of end sill = 6.58 feet

Explanation:

Discharge = Q = 400 ft^3 /sec

Slope = 2.5 ft

Width = 20 feet

n = 0.013

we will assume the depth of flow as "d"

Q = 1/n (R)^2/3 (slope)^1/2 A ( here R is the hydraulic Radius)

by substituting the given data in above formula we get:

400 = 1/0.013 * (R)^2/3 * sqrt (2.5/100) * 20d

R = A/P

here, A is the flow area and P is the wetted perimeter

400*0.013 = (20d/(20+20d))^2/3 * sqrt(2.5/100) * 20d

<u>d = 1.42 feet</u>

<u></u>

Depth of stilling channel before the jump will be = d1 = 8 feet

Depth of stilling channel after the jump will be = d2 = 1.42 feet

Length of stilling basin = 5(d2 - d1)

= 5( 8 - 1.42)

<u>Length of stilling basin = 32.9 feet </u>

Now calculating the height of end sill:

Jump height = (8 - 1.42)

<u>Height of end sill = 6.58 feet</u>

This graph represents the motion of a car while driving over a short distance. Which statement accurately describes the motion o

Akimi4 [234]

It is going backwards fast, then it is going backwards slowly.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Motion is a term which is used in Physics. It is the change in the position of an object with time because of some force that is acting upon the object.

In mathematics, motion is described and defined as the and in the terms of the speed, time and the change or the displacement of an object from it's original place. This is because of the force acting upon the object.

7 A very large thin plate is centered in a gap of width 0.06 m with different oils of unknown viscosities above and below; one v

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$\mu_1\approx 0.967$

$\mu_2\approx 1.933$

Explanation:

The viscosities above and below the plate are given by

$\mu_2=2\mu_1$ where $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ are viscosities of fluid below and above plate respectively

Force on plate due to top layer of the fluid

$\tau_1=\mu_1\frac {\triangle u}{\triangle y}$ where $\triangle u$ and $\triangle y$ are the velocity of plate and gap between the plate and upper surface respectively.

$\tau_1=\mu_1\times \frac {0.3}{0.03}=10\mu_1$

Force on plate due to bottom layer of the fluid is given by

$\tau_2=\mu_2\frac {\triangle u}{\triangle y}$ where $\triangle u$ and $\triangle y$ are the velocity of plate and gap between the plate and upper surface respectively

$\tau_2=\mu_2\times \frac {0.3}{0.03}=10\mu_2$

Total force per unit area is the sum of two shear forces

$\frac {F}{A}=\tau_1 +\tau_2$ hence

$\tau_1+\tau_2=29$

$10\mu_1+10\mu_2=29$

$10(\mu_1+\mu_2)=29$

$\mu_1+\mu_2=2.9$ but since $\mu_2=2\mu_1$ hence

$\mu_1+2\mu_1=2.9$

$3\mu_1=2.9$

$\mu_1=\frac {2.9}{3}=0.966667\approx 0.967$

$\mu_2=2\mu_1=2*0.966667=1.933333\approx 1.933$

When you accelerate, the size of the front tire patch becomes____

vekshin1

Answer:

Larger

Explanation:

When a vehicle is accelerated, the weight of the vehicle and the driver is transferred to the front of the rear of the car.

This transferred weight is nothing but the additional weight that presses the car's suspension in the downward direction thereby affecting tire contact patch in the rear due to which the rear tires loses adhesion.
