The elevation might be higher causing more rain

sdas [7]3 years ago

Answer:

It's because the moisture in the air condenses much quicker at a higher elevation. When the air condenses, rain clouds are formed. The side the air comes from is called the windward side, which is where there is more rainfall.

Six forces act on a beam that forms part of a building's

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

write each force in terms of magnitude and directions

Fx = F sin Ф

Fy = F cos Ф

where Ф is to be measured from x axis.

∑F at y = o

FAy + FBy + FCy + FDy + FEy + FGy = 0

∑F at x = o

FAx + FBx + FCx + FDx + FEx + FGx = 0

Let

FA = FA sin (110) + FA cos (110)

FB = 20 sin (270) + 20 cos (270)

FC = 16 sin (140) + 16 cos (140)

FD = 9 sin (40) + 9 cos (40)

FE = 20 sin (270) + 20 cos (270)

FG = FG sin (50) + FG cos (50)

add x and y forces:

FAx + FBx + FCx + FDx + FEx + FGx = 0

FAy + FBy + FCy + FDy + FEy + FGy = 0

FA sin (110) + 0 + 16 sin (140) + 9 sin (40) + 0 + FG sin (50) = 0

FA cos (110) - 20 + 16 cos (140) + 9 cos (40) - 20 + FG cos (50 = 0

FA sin (110) + 0 + 10.285 + 5.785 + 0 + FG sin (50) = 0

FA cos (110) - 20 - 12.257 + 6.894 - 20 + FG cos (50) = 0

FA sin (110) + 16.070 + FG sin (50) = 0

FA cos (110) - 45.363 + FG cos (50) = 0

solving for FA, and FG

FA = 13 kN

FG = 15.3 kN

Technician A ay that acid rain doe the mot harm when it firt fall on a finih. Technician B ay that hard water potting i uually j

Tamiku [17]

Technician B is right say that hard water potting i usually jut a Surface problem that can be wahed off.

What do you mean by Hard water?

The amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water determines its hardness. Calcium and magnesium are the main dissolved minerals in hard water. The last time you washed your hands, you might have actually felt the effects of hard water.

What do you mean by acid rain?

Any type of precipitation that contains acidic elements, such as sulfuric or nitric acid, that falls to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms is referred to as acid rain, also known as acid deposition. Rain, snow, fog, hail, and even acidic dust can fall under this category.

Some plants are sensitive to excessive moisture around their root zone, so it may be necessary to increase drainage when growing plants in pots. Additionally, standing water at the bottom of the pot can cause root rot.

Many university agriculture extension agencies have thoroughly debunked the old garden myth that adding rocks to the bottom of a pot will increase drainage.

A thick aluminum block initially at 26.5°C is subjected to constant heat flux of 4000 W/m2 by an electric resistance heater whos

Yanka [14]

Given Information:

Initial temperature of aluminum block = 26.5°C

Heat flux = 4000 w/m²

Time = 2112 seconds

Time = 30 minutes = 30*60 = 1800 seconds

Required Information:

Rise in surface temperature = ?

Answer:

Rise in surface temperature = 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds

Rise in surface temperature = 8 °C after 30 minutes

Explanation:

The surface temperature of the aluminum block is given by

$T_{surface} = T_{initial} + \frac{q}{k} \sqrt{\frac{4\alpha t}{\pi} }$

Where q is the heat flux supplied to aluminum block, k is the conductivity of pure aluminum and α is the diffusivity of pure aluminum.

After t = 2112 sec:

$T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (2112)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.51098)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 8.6\\\\T_{surface} = 35.1\\\\$

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 35.1 - 26.5 = 8.6 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds.

After t = 30 mins:

$T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (1800)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.4717)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 7.96\\\\T_{surface} = 34.5\\\\$

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 34.5 - 26.5 = 8 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8 °C after 30 minutes.
