A horizontal curve on a two-lane road is designed with a 2,300-ft radius, 12-ft lanes, and a 65-mph design speed. Determine the

distance that must be cleared from the inside edge of the inside lane to provide sufficient sight distance. Also determine the superelevation rate for the curve.

Answer:

distance = 22.57 ft

superelevation rate = 2%

Explanation:

given data

radius = 2,300-ft

lanes width = 12-ft

no of lane = 2

design speed = 65-mph

solution

we get here sufficient sight distance SSD that is express as

SSD = 1.47 ut + \frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{g}\pm G)}     ..............1

here u is speed and t is reaction time i.e 2.5 second and a is here deceleration rate i.e 11.2 ft/s² and g is gravitational force i.e 32.2 ft/s² and G is gradient i.e 0 here

so put here value and we get

SSD = 1.47 × 65 ×2.5  + \frac{65^2}{30(\frac{11.2}{32.2}\pm 0)}

solve it we get

SSD = 644 ft  

so here minimum distance clear from the inside edge of the inside lane is

Ms = Rv ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 SSD}{Rv}) )        .....................2

here Rv is = R - one lane width

Rv = 2300 - 6 = 2294 ft

put value in equation 2 we get

Ms = 2294 ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 \times 664}{2294})  )  

solve it we get

Ms = 22.57 ft

and

superelevation rate for the curve will be here as

R  = \frac{u^2}{15(e+f)}  ..................3

here f is coefficient of friction that is 0.10

put here value and we get e

2300 = \frac{65^2}{15(e+0.10)}

solve it we get

e = 2%

   case (p1, p2, p3) :: t if !pred(p1, p2, p3) => search(t)

   case Nil => Nil

   case _ => throw new Exception("Invalid Argument in select function")

 }

 search(db)

}

 

println("Searching the salary of 'Joan' at db: " + find_salary("Joan"))

println("")

 

val predicate = (_:String, _:String, salary:Double) => (salary < 100.0)

println("All employees that match with predicate 'salary < 100.0': ")

println("\t" + select(predicate) + "\n")

On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 required 22,300 kg of jet fuel to fly from Montreal to Edmonton. The density of jet fuel
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

20, 083 L

Explanation:

The mistake was the result of not using units when converting the 7862 l to Kg. They used the density in pounds hence they multiplied by 1.77 Lb/L and obtained 13597 Lb not Kg as they assumed.

To obtain the amount needed to refuel they subtracted this quantity from the 22,300 Kg required for the trip again obtaining the wrong quantity of 8703 Kg and they converted this to liters by dividing the density to get 4916 L and then placed then 5000 L of fuel

The quantity required was

7862 L * 1.77 Lb/L = 13915.74 Lb (pounds not kilos)

then converting this pounds to Kg by multiplying by  0.454 Kg/L one gets

6173 Kg on board

Amount Required

( 22,300 -6173)  :  16127 Kg

16127 Kg/ 0.803 Kg/L =  20083 L
