Answer:

A. 3.21ft

B. 3.51ft

C. 2.95ft

D. 1.5275ft

Explanation:

A) Q =212 cu.f/s

Formula for critical depth of rectangular section is: dc =[(Q^2) /(b^2(g))]^1/3

Where dc =critical depth, ft

Q= quantity of flow or discharge, ft3/s

B= width of channel, ft (m)

g = acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2 or 32.185ft/s2

Now, from the question,

Q = 212 cu.f/s and b=6.5ft

Therefore, the critical depth is: [(212^2)/(6.5^2 x32. 185)]^(1/3)

To give ; critical depth= (44,944/1359.82)^(1/3) = 3.21ft

B. Formula for critical depth of a triangular section; dc = (2Q^2/gm^2)^(1/5)

From the question, Q =212 cu.f/s and m=1.6ft while g= 32.185ft/s2

Therefore, critical depth = [(212^2) /(1.6^2 x32. 185)] ^(1/5) = (44,944/84.466)^(1/5) = 3.51ft

C. For trapezoidal channel, critical depth(y) is derived from (Q^2 /g) = (A^3/T)

Where A= (B + my)y and T=(B+2my)

Now from the question, B=6.5ft and m=5ft.

Therefore, A= (6.5 + 2y)y and T=(6. 5 + 2(5y))= 6.5 + 10y

Now, let's plug the value of A and T into the initial equation to derive the critical depth ;

(212^2 /32.185) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Which gives;

1396.43 = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Multiply both sides by 6.5 + 10y to get;

1396.43(6.5 + 10y) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]

Factorizing this, we get y = 2. 95ft

D) Formula for critical depth of a circular section; dc =D/2[1 - cos(Ѳ/2)]

Where D is diameter of pipe and Ѳ is angle at critical depth in radians.

Angle not given, so we assume it's perpendicular angle is 90.

Since angle is in radians, therefore Ѳ/2 = 90/2 = 45 radians ; converting to degree, = 2578. 31

Therefore, dc = (6.5/2) (1 - cos (2578.31))

dc = 3.25(1 - 0.53) = 3.25 x 0.47 = 1.5275ft

In a creep test, increasing the temperature will (choose the best answer) A. increase the instantaneous initial deformation B. i
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

firstly, a creep can be explained as the gradual deformation of a material over a time period. This occurs at a fixed load with the temperature the same or more than the recrystallization temperature.

Once the material gets loaded, the instantaneous creep would start off and it is close to electric strain. in the primary creep area, the rate of the strain falls as the material hardens. in the secondary area, a balance between the hardening and recrystallization occurs. The material would get to be fractured hen recrstallization happens.  As temperature is raised the recrystallization gets to be more.

An amplifier which needs a high input resistance and a high output resistance is : Select one: a. A voltage amplifier b. None of
True [87]

Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

There are different types of amplifiers, and each has different characteristics.

  • Voltage amplifier needs high input and low output  resistance.
  • Current amplifier needs Low Input and High Output  resistance.
  • Trans-conductance amplifier Low Input and High Output resistance.
  • Trans-Resistance amplifier requires High Input and Low output  resistance.

Therefore, the correct answer is "None of these "
