A corroded metal gusset plate was found on a bridge. It was estimated that the original area of the plate was 750 cm2 and that a

pproximately 2.5 kg had corroded away during use. Assuming a corrosion penetration rate of 0.5 mm/year for this metal, estimate the time since construction of the bridge. The density of the alloy is 10 g/cm3 .

Answer:

estimate the time since construction of the bridge is 6.66 year

Explanation:

given data

area of the plate =  750 cm²

corroded away during use = 2.5 kg  

corrosion penetration rate = 0.5 mm/year

density of the alloy = 10 g/cm³

solution

we know here area is express as

CPR = \frac{kw}{\rho A t}       ................1

put here value ans we get t

t = \frac{87.6\times 2.5 \times 10^6}{10\times 750 \times 0.5}                  

t = 58400  hour

time = 6.66 year

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

volumetric flow rate = 0.0251 m^3/s

Velocity in pipe section 1 = 6.513m/s

velocity in pipe section 2 = 12.79 m/s

Explanation:

We can obtain the volume flow rate from the mass flow rate by utilizing the fact that the fluid has the same density when measuring the mass flow rate and the volumetric flow rates.

The density of water is = 997 kg/m³

density = mass/ volume

since we are given the mass, therefore, the  volume will be mass/density

25/997 = 0.0251 m^3/s

volumetric flow rate = 0.0251 m^3/s

Average velocity calculations:

<em>Pipe section A:</em>

cross-sectional area =

\pi \times d^2\\=\pi \times 0.07^2 = 3.85\times10^{-3}m^2

mass flow rate = density X cross-sectional area X velocity

velocity = mass flow rate /(density X cross-sectional area)

velocity = 25/(997 \times 3.85\times10^{-3}) = 6.513m/s

<em>Pipe section B:</em>

cross-sectional area =

\pi \times d^2\\=\pi \times 0.05^2= 1.96\times10^{-3}m^2

mass flow rate = density X cross-sectional area X velocity

velocity = mass flow rate /(density X cross-sectional area)

velocity = 25/(997 \times 1.96\times10^{-3}) = 12.79m/s

Answer:C  0.12 V

Explanation:

Given

Concentration of Fe^{2+} M_1=0.40 M

Concentration of Ni^{2+} M_2=0.002 M

Standard Potential for Ni and Fe are V_2=-0.25 V  and V_1=-0.44 V

\Delta V=V_2-V_1-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log (\frac{M_1}{M_2})

\Delta V=-0.25-(-0.44)-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log (\frac{0.4}{0.002})

\Delta V=0.12\ V

Prove the following languages are nonregular, once using the pumping lemma and once using the Myhill-Nerode theorem. When using
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

For any string, we use s = xyz

Explanation:

The pumping lemma says that for any string s in the language, with length greater than the pumping length p, we can write s = xyz with |xy| ≤ p, such that xyi z is also in the language for every i ≥ 0. For the given language, we can take p = 2.

Here are the cases:

  • Consider any string a i b j c k in the language. If i = 1 or i > 2, we take x = \epsilon   and y = a. If i = 1, we must have j = k and adding any number of a’s still preserves the membership in the language. For i > 2, all strings obtained by pumping y as defined above, have two or more a’s and hence are always in the language.
  • For i = 2, we can take    and y = aa. Since the strings obtained by pumping in this case always have an even number of a’s, they are all in the language.
  • Finally, for the case i = 0, we take x = \epsilon  , and y = b if j > 0 and y = c otherwise. Since strings of the form b j c k are always in the language, we satisfy the conditions of the pumping lemma in this case as well.

Primary Creep: slope (creep rate) decreases with time
Igoryamba

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Creep is known as the time dependent deformation of structure due to constant load acting on the body.

Creep is generally seen at high temperature.

Due to creep the length of the structure increases which is not fit for serviceability purpose.

When time passes structure gain strength as the structure strength increases with time so creep tends to decrease.

When we talk about Creep rate for new structure the creep will be more than the old structure i.e. the creep rate decreases with time.
