A ramp from an expressway with a design speed of 30 mi/h connects with a local road, forming a T intersection. An additional lan

e is provided on the local road to allow vehicles from the ramp to turn right onto the local road without stopping. The turning roadway has stabilized shoulders on both sides and will provide for a onelane, one-way operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle. Determine the width of the turning roadway if the design vehicle is a single-unit truck. Use 0.08 for superelevation.

Answer:

the width of the turning roadway = 15 ft

Explanation:

Given that:

A ramp from an expressway with a design speed(u) =  30 mi/h connects with a local road

Using 0.08 for superelevation(e)

The minimum radius of the curve on the road can be determined by using the expression:

R = \dfrac{u^2}{15(e+f_s)}

where;

R= radius

f_s = coefficient of friction

From the tables of coefficient of friction for a design speed at 30 mi/h ;

f_s = 0.20

So;

R = \dfrac{30^2}{15(0.08+0.20)}

R = \dfrac{900}{15(0.28)}

R = \dfrac{900}{4.2}

R = 214.29 ft

R ≅ 215 ft

However; given that :

The turning roadway has stabilized shoulders on both sides and will provide for a onelane, one-way operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle.

From the tables of "Design widths of pavement for turning roads"

For a One-way operation with no provision for passing a stalled vehicle; this criteria falls under Case 1 operation

Similarly; we are told that the design vehicle is a single-unit truck; so therefore , it falls under traffic condition B.

As such in Case 1 operation that falls under traffic condition B  in accordance with the Design widths of pavement for turning roads;

If the radius = 215 ft; the value for the width of the turning roadway for this conditions = 15ft

Hence; the width of the turning roadway = 15 ft

Twenty-five wooden beams were ordered or a construction project. The sample mean and he sample standard deviation were measured
aksik [14]

Answer:

Correct option: B. 90%

Explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

CI = [\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} , \bar{x}+z\sigma_{\bar{x}} ]

If \bar{x} is 190, we can find the value of z\sigma_{\bar{x}}:

\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 188.29

190 - z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 188.29

z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 1.71

Now we need to find the value of \sigma_{\bar{x}}:

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = s / \sqrt{n}

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 5/ \sqrt{25}

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1

So the value of z is 1.71.

Looking at the z-table, the z value that gives a z-score of 1.71 is 0.0436

This value will occur in both sides of the normal curve, so the confidence level is:

CI = 1 - 2*0.0436 = 0.9128 = 91.28\%

The nearest CI in the options is 90%, so the correct option is B.

When removing a diesel engine from a truck, Technician A says it is OK to disconnect an air con­ditioning hose, but the refriger
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Technician B is right.

Explanation:

Air conditioning refrigerant contains Freon R22 and R410a, which have been linked to environmental damages, including ozone depletion, global warming, and energy-inefficiency.  For environmentally-savvy entities and individuals, there is the modern move to a more environment-friendly refrigerant, known as R-32.   Technician A's advice to vent the refrigerant outside the shop is in bad taste.  He does not seem to be aware of the environmental footprint of such an action.  Venting gas outside, in addition to the environmental damages, is also a waste of resources, and therefore, costly.  This is why Technician B's advice should be preferred.
