The flow rate on an arterial is 1,800 veh/h, evenly distributed over two lanes. If the average speed in these lanes is 40 mi/h,

what is the density in veh/h/ln?

Using

q = k*v,

where q = traffic flow rate, k = density, v = space mean speed.

so, 1800 = k x 40

so, k = 1800/40 = 45 veh/mie on two lanes,

so k = 45/2 = 22.5veh/h/in

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 46.2 MPa and the stress amplitude was 219 MPa.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

a)σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

b)σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

c)Stress\ ratio =-0.65

d)Range = 438 MPa

Explanation:

Given that

Mean stress ,σm= 46.2 MPa

Stress amplitude ,σa= 219 MPa

Lets take

Maximum stress level = σ₁

Minimum stress level =σ₂

The mean stress given as

\sigma_m=\dfrac{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}{2}

2\sigma_m={\sigma_1+\sigma_2}

2 x 46.2 =  σ₁ +  σ₂

 σ₁ +  σ₂ = 92.4 MPa    --------1

The amplitude stress given as

\sigma_a=\dfrac{\sigma_1-\sigma_2}{2}

2\sigma_a={\sigma_1-\sigma_2}

2 x 219 =  σ₁ -  σ₂

 σ₁ -  σ₂ = 438 MPa    --------2

By adding the above equation

2  σ₁ = 530.4

σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

-σ₂ = 438 -265.2 MPa

σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

Stress ratio

Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}

Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{-172.8}{265.2}

Stress\ ratio =-0.65

Range = 265.2 MPa - ( -172.8 MPa)

Range = 438 MPa

A center-point bending test was performed on a 2 in. x d in. wood lumber according to ASTM D198 procedure with a span of 4 ft an
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

3.03 INCHES

Explanation:

According to ASTM D198 ;

Modulus of rupture = ( M / I ) * y  ----- ( 1 )

M ( bending moment ) = R * length of span / 2

                                     = (120 * 10^3 ) * 48 / 2 = 288 * 10^4 Ib-in

I ( moment of inertia ) = bd^3 / 12

                                    = ( 2 )*( d )^3  / 12 =  2d^3 / 12

b = 2 in ,  d = ?

length of span = 4 * 12 = 48 inches

R = P  / 2 =  240 * 10^3 / 2 =   120 * 10^3 Ib

y ( centroid distance ) = d / 2  inches

back to equation ( 1 )

( M / I ) * y

940.3 ksi = ( 288 * 10^4 / 2d^3 / 12 ) * d / 2

                = ( 288 * 10^4 * 12 ) / 2d^3 )  * d / 2

940300  = 34560000* d / 4d^3

4d^3 ( 940300 ) = 34560000 d  ( divide both sides with d )

4d^2 = 34560000 / 940300

d^2 = 9.188   ∴ Value of d ≈ 3.03 in

leva [86]

Answer:

The distance measure from the wall = 36ft

Explanation:

Given Data:

w = 10

g =32.2ft/s²

x = 2

Using the principle of work and energy,

T₁ +∑U₁-₂ = T₂

0 + 1/2kx² -wh = 1/2 w/g V²

Substituting, we have

0 + 1/2 * 100 * 2² - (10 * 3) = 1/2 * (10/32.2)V²

170 = 0.15528V²

V² = 170/0.15528

V²     = 1094.796

V = √1094.796

V = 33.09 ft/s

But tan ∅ = 3/4

∅ = tan⁻¹3/4

   = 36.87°

From uniform acceleration,

S = S₀ + ut + 1/2gt²

It can be written as

S = S₀ + Vsin∅*t + 1/2gt²

Substituting, we have

0 = 3 + 33.09 * sin 36.87 * t -(1/2 * 32.2 *t²)

19.85t - 16.1t² + 3 = 0

16.1t² - 19.85t - 3 = 0

Solving it quadratically, we obtain t = 1.36s

The distance measure from the wall is given by the formula

d = VCos∅*t

Substituting, we have

d = 33.09 * cos 36. 87 * 1.36

d = 36ft
