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%

There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 12 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

  16 minutes

Explanation:

This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.

The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."

Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...

  (4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min

The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.

You can write two equations for height:

  y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)

  y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . .  height in feet after x minutes (tank B)

These will be equal when ...

  y = y

  12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x

  4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8

  16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height

The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.

Initially when 1000.00 mL of water at 10oC are poured into a glass cylinder, the height of the water column is 1000.00 mm. The w
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \  mm}

Explanation:

Given that :

The initial volume of water V_1 = 1000.00 mL = 1000000 mm³

The initial temperature of the water  T_1 = 10° C

The height of the water column h = 1000.00 mm

The final temperature of the water T_2 = 70° C

The coefficient of thermal expansion for the glass is  ∝ = 3.8*10^{-6 } mm/mm  \ per ^oC

The objective is to determine the the depth of the water column

In order to do that we will need to determine the volume of the water.

We obtain the data for physical properties of water at standard sea level atmospheric from pressure tables; So:

At temperature T_1 = 10 ^ 0C  the density of the water is \rho = 999.7 \ kg/m^3

At temperature T_2 = 70^0 C  the density of the water is \rho = 977.8 \ kg/m^3

The mass of the water is  \rho V = \rho _1 V_1 = \rho _2 V_2

Thus; we can say \rho _1 V_1 = \rho _2 V_2;

⇒ 999.7 \ kg/m^3*1000 \ mL = 977.8 \ kg/m^3 *V_2

V_2 = \dfrac{999.7 \ kg/m^3*1000 \ mL}{977.8 \ kg/m^3 }

V_2 = 1022.40 \ mL

v_2 = 1022400 \ mm^3

Thus, the volume of the water after heating to a required temperature of  70^0C is 1022400 mm³

However; taking an integral look at this process; the volume of the water before heating can be deduced by the relation:

V_1 = A_1 *h_1

The area of the water before heating is:

A_1 = \dfrac{V_1}{h_1}

A_1 = \dfrac{1000000}{1000}

A_1 = 1000 \ mm^2

The area of the heated water is :

A_2 = A_1 (1  + \Delta t  \alpha )^2

A_2 = A_1 (1  + (T_2-T_1) \alpha )^2

A_2 = 1000 (1  + (70-10) 3.8*10^{-6} )^2

A_2 = 1000.5 \ mm^2

Finally, the depth of the heated hot water is:

h_2 = \dfrac{V_2}{A_2}

h_2 = \dfrac{1022400}{1000.5}

\mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \  mm}

Hence the depth of the heated hot  water is \mathbf{h_2 =1021.9 \  mm}
