Answer:

1. Large swathes of land is being devoted to the cultivation of corn and cultivation of nutritious grasses.

2. Vegetation and Rainfall

Explanation:

1. One characteristic land-use feature associated with the dairy farms is the use of large swaths of land to grow corn and nutritious alfalfa grass. Earlier, these lands were devoted to the cultivation of temperate wheat. However, the success of commercial dairy farming in the region has led to the introduction of extensive farming methods where large farms are devoted to corn and alfalfa production. Application of manures, usage of machines is very high and the overall yield of the farms is very high but yield per unit of land is low.

2. Two geographic features not shown on the map that corroborates to the above concentration pattern are-

Vegetation- Temperate grassland (Prairie) of these regions provides large and extensive ground for the cultivation of fodder grass. Prairie supports the cultivation of these grasses.

Rainfall- These areas receive plenty of rainfall from humongous freshwater lakes in their vicinity. This rainfall proves crucial for cultivation for animal feeds.

A certain heat pump produces 200 kW of heating for a 293 K heated zone while only using 75 kW of power and a heat source at 273
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

COP(heat pump) = 2.66

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 14.65

Explanation:

Given:

Q(h) = 200 KW

W = 75 KW

Temperature (T1) = 293 K

Temperature (T2) = 273 K

Find:

COP(heat pump)

COP(Theoretical maximum)

Computation:

COP(heat pump) = Q(h) / W

COP(heat pump) = 200 / 75

COP(heat pump) = 2.66

COP(Theoretical maximum) = T1 / (T1 - T2)

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 293 / (293 - 273)

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 293 / 20

COP(Theoretical maximum) = 14.65

The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E and F. The b
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a) P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) Q = 5.4 Kips

Explanation:

GIven

W = 18 Kips

μ₁ = 0.30

μ₂ = 0.60

a) P = ?

We get F₁  and F₂ as follows:

F₁ = μ₁*W = 0.30*18 Kips = 5.4 Kips

F₂ = μ₂*Nef = 0.6*Nef

Then, we apply

∑Fy = 0   (+↑)

Nef*Cos 12º -  F₂*Sin 12º = W

⇒   Nef*Cos 12º -  (0.6*Nef)*Sin 12º = 18

⇒   Nef = 21.09 Kips

Wedge moves if

P ≥ F₁ + F₂*Cos 12º + Nef*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 5.4 Kips + 0.6*21.09 Kips*Cos 12º + 21.09 Kips*Sin 12º

⇒  P ≥ 22.164 Kips

b) For the static equilibrium of base plate

Q = F₁ = 5.4 Kips

We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.

A horizontal curve of a two-lane undivided highway (12-foot lanes) has a radius of 678 feet to the center line of the roadway. A
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

maximum speed for safe vehicle operation = 55mph

Explanation:

Given data :

radius ( R ) = 678 ft

old building located ( m )= 30 ft

super elevation = 0.06

<u>Determine the maximum speed for safe vehicle operation </u>

firstly calculate the stopping sight distance

m = R ( 1 - cos \frac{28.655*S}{R} )  ----  ( 1 )

R = 678  

m ( horizontal sightline ) = 30 ft

back to equation 1

30 = 678 ( 1 - cos (28.655 *s / 678 ) )

( 1 - cos (28.655 *s / 678 ) )  = 30 / 678 = 0.044

cos \frac{28.65 *s }{678}  = 1.044

hence ; 28.65 * s = 678 * 0.2956

s = 6.99 ≈ 7 ft

next we will calculate the design speed ( u ) using the formula below

S = 1.47 ut  + \frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{3.2} )-G1}  ----  ( 2 )

t = reaction time,  a = vehicle acceleration, G1 = grade percentage

assuming ; t = 2.5 sec , a = 11.2 ft/sec^2, G1 = 0

back to equation 2

6.99 = 1.47 * u * 2.5 + \frac{u^2}{30[(11.2/32.2)-0 ]}

3.675 u  + 0.0958 u^2 - 6.99 = 0

u ( 3.675 + 0.0958 u ) = 6.99
