You are the project manager assigned to construct a new 10-story office building. You are trying to estimate the costs for this

project. You start by assigning the costs associated with each of the project activity. Then you sum up all the individual costs into a final cost estimate. Which type of cost estimation technique did you use?

Answer:

Bottom-up Estimation

Explanation:

Bottom-up estimation is a type of project cost estimation that considers the cost of individual project activities and finally sums them up or finds the aggregates. The summation gives an idea of what the entire project will cost.

This is an effective way of estimating the cost of a project as it evaluates the costs on a wholistic basis. It also considers the tiniest details during the estimation process. The process moves from the simpler details to the more complicated details.

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG  > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power ge
tangare [24]

Answer:

e= 50 J/kg

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,v= 10 m/s

Diameter of the turbine = 90 m

Density of the air ,ρ = 1.25 kg/m³

We know that mechanical energy given as

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\ J

That is why mechanical energy per unit mass will be

e=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2\ J/kg

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

e=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10^2\ J/kg

e= 50 J/kg

That why the mechanical energy unit mass will be 50 J/kg.

How do we find percentage error in measuring voltage across a resistor​
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

  use the percentage error relation

Explanation:

The percentage error in anything is computed from ...

  %error = ((measured value)/(accurate value) -1) × 100%

__

The difficulty with voltage measurements is that the "accurate value" may be hard to determine. It can be computed from the nominal values of circuit components, but there is no guarantee that the components actually have those values.

Likewise, the measuring device may have errors. It may or may not be calibrated against some standard, but even measurement standards have some range of possible error.
