How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5400 cubic yard?

The maximum capacity of the machine is 30 cubic yard (heaped), or 40 tons. The material is to be compacted with a shrinkage of 25% (relative to bank measure) and has a swell factor of 20% (relative to bank measure). The material weighs 3,000 lb/cu yd (bank). Assume that the machine carries its maximum load on each trip. Check by both weight and volume limitations

Answer:

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Explanation:

a) By volume.

The shrinkage factor is:

\frac{5400cu-yd}{1-0.25} =7200cu-yd

The volume at loose is:

V_{loose} =V_{bank} (1+swell-factor)=7200(1+0.2)=8640cu-yd

If the Herrywampus has a capacity of 30 cubic yard:

\frac{8640cu-yd}{30cu-yd/trip} =288trip

b) By weight

The swell factor in terms of percent swell is equal to:

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{pounds-per-cubic-yard-bank}{\frac{percent-swell}{100}+1 }

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{3000}{\frac{20}{100} +1} =2500lb/cu-yd

The weight of backfill is:

8640cu-yd*2500\frac{lb}{cu-yd} *\frac{1ton}{2000lb} =10800ton

The Herrywampus has a capacity of 40 ton:

\frac{10800}{40ton/trip} =270trip

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Link BD consists of a single bar 36 mm wide and 18 mm thick. Knowing that each pin has a 12-mm diameter, determine the maximum v
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

hello the diagram attached to your question is missing attached below is the missing diagram

answer :

a) 48.11 MPa

b) - 55.55 MPa

Explanation:

First we consider the equilibrium moments about point A

∑ Ma = 0

( Fbd * 300cos30° ) + ( 24sin∅ * 450cos30° ) - ( 24cos∅ * 450sin30° ) = 0

therefore ;<em> Fbd = 36 ( cos ∅tan30° - sin∅ ) kN  ----- ( 1 )</em>

A ) when ∅ = 0

Fbd = 20.7846 kN

link BD will be under tension when ∅ = 0, hence we will calculate the loading area using this equation

A = ( b - d ) t

b = 12 mm

d = 36 mm

t = 18

therefore loading area ( A ) = 432 mm^2

determine the maximum value of average normal stress in link BD  using the relation below

бbd = \frac{Fbd}{A}  = 20.7846 kN / 432 mm^2  =  48.11 MPa

b) when ∅ = 90°

Fbd = -36 kN

the negativity indicate that the loading direction is in contrast to the assumed direction of loading

There is compression in link BD

next we have to calculate the loading area using this equation ;

A = b * t

b = 36mm

t = 18mm

hence loading area = 36 * 18 = 648 mm^2

determine the maximum value of average normal stress in link BD  using the relation below

бbd = \frac{Fbd}{A} = -36 kN / 648mm^2 = -55.55 MPa

E total kinetic energy of a 2500 lbm car when it is moving at 80 mph (in BTU)?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

KE= 687.21 BTU

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of car = 2500 lbm

We know that 1 lb=0.45 kg

So the mass of car  m =1133.98 kg

Velocity of car= 80 mph

We know that 1 mph =0.44 m/s

So velocity of car = 35.76 m/s

As we know that kinetic energy (KE) is given as follows

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Now by putting the values

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1133.98\times 35.76^2

KE=725.05 KJ

We know that   1 KJ = 0.94 BTU

So  KE= 687.21 BTU
