Answer: 112 + 19.27

Explanation:

Super elevation is an inward transverse slope provided through out the length of the horizontal curve which ends up serving as a counteract to the centrifugal force and checks tendency of overturning. It changes from infinite radius to radius of a transition curve.

Super curve elevation (e) = 4%

4/100= 0.04

e= V^2/gR

Make R the subject of the formula.

egR= V^2

R= V^2/eg

V= 45mph

=45 × 0.44704m/s

=20.1168m/s

g (force due to gravity) =9.81

Therefore,

R= (20.1168)^2/9.81 × 0.04

= 1031.31m

Tangent Length( T) = PI - PC

Tangent Length= 10875 - 10500

=375m

T= R Tan(I/2)

375= 1031.31 × Tan(I/2)

I= 39.96

Also,

L= πRI/180

= 719.27m

Station PT= Stat PC+ L

10500 + 719.27

=11219.27

=112 + 19.27

The components of an electronic system dissipating 180 W are located in a 1-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 16 cm
oee [108]

Answer:

a) The exit temperature is 39.25°C

b) The highest component surface is 132.22°C

c) The average temperature for air equal to 35°C is a good assumption because the air temperature at the inlet will increase due to the result in the heat gain produced by the duct and whose surface is exposed to a flow of hot.

Explanation:

a) The properties of the air at 35°C:

p = density = 1.145 kg/m³

v = 1.655x10⁻⁵m²/s

k = 0.02625 W/m°C

Pr = 0.7268

cp = 1007 J/kg°C

a) The mass flow rate of air is equal to:

m=\rho *V = 1.145*0.65=0.7443kg/min=0.0124kg/s

The exit temperature is:

T=T_{i} +\frac{Q}{m*c_{p} } =27+\frac{0.85*180}{0.0124*1007} =39.25°C

b) The mean fluid velocity is:

V_{m} =\frac{V}{A} =\frac{0.65}{0.16*0.16} =25.4m/min=0.4232m/s

The hydraulic diameter is:

D_{h} =\frac{4A}{p} =\frac{4*0.16*0.16}{4*0.16} =0.16m

The Reynold´s number is:

Re=\frac{VD_{h} }{v} =\frac{0.4232*0.16}{1.655x10^{-5} } =4091.36

Assuming fully developed turbulent flow, the Nusselt number is:

Nu=0.023Re^{0.8} *Pr^{0.4} =0.023*4091.36^{0.8} *0.7268^{0.4} =15.69

h=\frac{k*Nu}{D_{h} } =\frac{0.02625*15.69}{0.16} =2.57W/m^{2} C

The highest component surface temperature is:

T=T_{e} +\frac{\frac{Q}{A} }{h} =39.2+\frac{0.85*\frac{180}{4*0.16*1} }{2.57} =132.22°C

You are an engineer working in a auto crash test lab. Some members of your team have raised objections against the use of cadave
Nikolay [14]

Answer: Application.

Explanation:

The question on wether to contine the use of cadavers in the lab for test is being centered around its application. Cadaver which is same as a corpse or dead body is used in crash site during automobil test in lab, some of this cadavers are been disrespected with their applications in the automobile industries because many didn’t consent to be used in those experiments or test.

How can you evaluate whether the slope of the dependent variable with an independent variable is the same for each level of the
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

By running multiple regression with dummy variables

Explanation:

A dummy variable is a variable that takes on the value 1 or 0. Dummy variables are also called binary

variables. Multiple regression expresses a dependent, or response, variable as a linear

function of two or more independent variables. The slope is the change in the response variable. Therefore, we have to run a multiple regression analysis when the variables are measured in the same measurement.The number of dummy variables you will need to capture a categorical variable

will be one less than the number of categories. When there is no obvious order to the categories or when there are three or more categories and differences between them are not all assumed to be equal, such variables need to be coded as dummy variables for inclusion into a regression model.

A material point in equilibrium has 1 independent component of shear stress in the xz plane. a)True b)- False
ozzi

Answer:

True

Explanation:

For point in xz plane the stress tensor is given by\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Dx_{} &txz\\tzx&Dz\\\end{array}\right]

where Dx is the direct stress along x ; Dz is direct stress along z ;  tzx and txz are the  shear stress components

We know that the stress tensor matrix is symmetrical which means that tzx = txz  ( obtained by moment equlibrium )

thus we require only 1 independent component of shear stress to define the whole stress tensor at a point in 2D plane
