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

n old building (sight obstruction) is located 30 feet from the edge of the innermost lane. The road is level and the superelevation is 0.06. Please determine the maximum speed for safe vehicle operation on this horizontal curve.

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

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Heather is trying to establish a theory of probable cause. In this step of the troubleshooting process, the person troubleshooting questions the obvious and then test the theory or response given by the user to really determine the cause. Once confirmation of this theory has been achieved, the troubleshooter then tries to establish a resolution to the problem. However in the event whereby the theory is not confirmed, the troubleshooter then tries to establish a new theory.

Carbon nanotubes can be a considered toxic agent due to: (a)- Its ability to produce toxic gases (b)Its ability to penetrate ski
SpyIntel [72]

Answer: b)Its ability to penetrate skin quickly due to its very small diameter

Explanation: Carbon nano tubes(CNT) are the material widely used in the medical field due to the atomic structure of it ans also have small size. Toxicity in the carbon nano tubes is because their small sized atomic particles which can enter the skin by penetration or inhalation. But are still preferred in the medicine because having unique properties like mechanical property, chemical property,surface property etc.
