A civil engineer designs a wheelchair accessible ramp next to a set of steps leading up to a building. The height from the groun

d to the top of the stairs is 3ft. Based on ADA codes, the slope must be 1:12 or less. (Slope is equal to the rise of the ramp divided by the run of the ramp.) What is the IMA of this ramp if the engineer uses a slope of 1:12?

Answer: IMA = 12.042

Explanation:

Given that;

Height from the ground h is 3 ft

Slope of ramp s is 1:12

Horizontal length of the ramp x will be 3 × 12 = 36 ft

Now to get the IMA ( ideal mechanical advantage,)

IMA = length of the ramp over / height of the ramp

IMA = (√( 36² + 3²)) / 3

IMA = (√ 1305 ) / 3

IMA = 36.124 / 3

IMA = 12.042

vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) benzene = 910 days

b) toluene = 1612.67 days

Explanation:

Given:

Kd = 1.8 L/kg (benzene)

Kd = 3.3 L/kg (toluene)

psolid = solids density = 2.6 kg/L

K = 2.9x10⁻⁵m/s

pores = n = 0.37

water table = 0.4 m

ground water = 15 m

u = K/n = (2.9x10⁻⁵ * (0.4/15)) / 0.37 = 2.09x10⁻⁶m/s

a) For benzene:

R=1+\frac{\rho * K_{d}  }{n}, \rho = 2.6\\ R=1+\frac{2.6*1.8}{0.37} =13.65

The time will take will be:

t=\frac{xR}{a} , x=12,a=0.18\\t=\frac{12*13.65}{0.18} =910days

b) For toluene:

R=1+\frac{2.6*3.3  }{0.37} = 24.19

t=\frac{12*24.19}{0.18} =1612.67days

The statement that is NOT true about the concept of a boundary layer on an object is: a. the Reynolds number is greater than uni
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

All the given statements are true except the velocity gradients normal to the flow direction are small since these are not normally small. It's true that viscous effects are present only inside the boundary layer and the fluid velocity equals the free stream velocity at the edge of the boundary layer. Moreover, Reynolds number is greater than unity and the fluid velocity is zero at the surface of the object.
