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

A liquid's viscosity increases with increasing temperature. a)-True b)-False
olasank [31]

Answer:

b) False

Explanation:

Viscosity:

   Viscosity is a fluid property and comes in the picture when fluid in the motion.In Simple words viscosity is the frictional force offered by fluid between the fluid layer.Viscosity provides a resistant to flow of fluid.

Generally viscosity are of two types

1.Dynamics viscosity

2.Kinematics viscosity

Generally in liquids when temperature of fluid is increases then molecular force between fluid particle goes to decreases.Due to this viscosity of liquids will decrease.

So our option b is right.

List two reasons why machined parts often require a high degree of precision.
Gekata [30.6K]

Explanation:

Precision machining is a subtractive process used in cases where material needs to be removed from a raw product to create the finished product. Precision machining can be used to create a wide variety of products, items, and parts for any number of different objects and materials. These parts usually require tight tolerances variation from nominal dimensions and from part to part, which means that there is not much room for error in the production of the piece. Repeatability and well-controlled tolerances are hallmarks of precision machining. Components, parts and finished durable products that are designed to maintain extremely tight tolerance margins and a high degree of durability are essential and common drivers for utilization of precision machining. For example, parts that need to work together as part of a machine may need to always align within a certain margin of 0.01mm to 0.05mm. Precision engineering and machining help to ensure these parts can not only be made precisely but can be produced with this level of accuracy over and over again.

Steam at 1 MPa, 300 C flows through a 30 cm diameter pipe with an average velocity of 10 m/s. The mass flow rate of this steam i
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\dot m = 2.74 kg/s

Explanation:

given data:

pressure 1 MPa

diameter of pipe  =  30 cm

average velocity = 10 m/s

area of pipe= \frac[\pi}{4}d^2

                 = \frac{\pi}{4} 0.3^2

A = 0.070 m2

WE KNOW THAT mass flow rate is given as

\dot m = \rho A v

for pressure 1 MPa, the density of steam is = 4.068 kg/m3

therefore we have

\dot m = 4.068 * 0.070* 10

\dot m = 2.74 kg/s
