Water flowing through both a small pipe and a large pipe can fill a water tank in 4 hours. Water flowing through the small pipe

alone can fill the tank in 15 more hours. How many hours would it take to fill the tank using only the small pipe?

Answer with explanation:

As is the question the answer would be 19 hours, and the key to solving it is in the phrase in 15 more hours, basically what they are saying is that the small pipe takes 15 hours more than both the big and the small to fill the tank. Since both pipes working together can fill the tank in 4 hours we need to add 4 and 15 to solve the problem.

If the question is how many hours would it take to fill the tank using only the big pipe? Then we could solve t for the following equation:

\frac{1}{4+15} + \frac{1}{t}  = \frac{1}{4}

Getting as a result: 5.06

Note that the equation is the result of taking the rate of the small pipe (what we solved before), plus the unknown rate of the big one equals the rate of both.

A surveyor knows an elevation at Catch Basin to be elev=2156.77 ft. The surveyor takes a BS=2.67 ft on a rod at BM Catch Basin a
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

the elevation at point X is 2152.72 ft

Explanation:

given data

elev = 2156.77 ft

BS = 2.67 ft

FS = 6.72 ft

solution

first we get here height of instrument that is

H.I = elev + BS   ..............1

put here value

H.I =  2156.77 ft + 2.67 ft  

H.I = 2159.44 ft

and

Elevation at point (x) will be

point (x)  = H.I - FS   .............2

point (x)  = 2159.44 ft  - 6.72 ft

point (x)  = 2152.72 ft

A hypothetical metal alloy has a grain diameter of 2.4 × 10−2 mm. After a heat treatment at 575°C for 500 min, the grain diamete
Alex

Answer:

The time required is 10.078 hours or 605 min

Explanation:

The formula to apply here is ;

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t

where t is time in hours

d is grain diameter to be achieved after heating in mm

d₀ is the grain diameter before heating in mm

Given

d=5.5 × 10^-2 mm

d₀=2.4 × 10^-2 mm

t₁= 500 min = 500/60 =25/3 hrs

t₂=?

n=2.2

First find K

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t₁

K={ (5.1 × 10^-2 mm)²-(2.4 × 10−2 mm)² }/ 25/3

K=(0.051²-0.024²) ÷25/2

K=0.000243 mm²/h

Re-arrange equation for K ,to get the equation for d as;

d=√(d₀²+ Kt)  where now t=t₂

d=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243*t} \\\\0.055=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243t} \\\\0.055^2=0.024^2+0.000243t\\\\0.055^2-0.024^2=0.000243t\\\\0.002449=0.000243t\\\\0.002449/0.000243=t\\\\10.078=t\\\\t=605min
