Solution :

Given :

The number of lanes in each of the direction is N = 3

The terrain is rolling. And the traffic stream is cars and heavy vehicles. And the peak hour factor is given as 0.85

Now the observed flow speed is S  = 48 mph

Flow rate of vehicles is  V = 3690 veh/h

Highway operates at the maximum LOS (level of service) D condition.

The density value that is allowed at this condition is D = 35 pc/mi/lane

Therefore, $D=\frac{v_p}{S}$

or $v_p = D \times S$

        = 35 x  48

        = 1680 pcphpl

$v_s= \frac{V}{PHF \times N \times f_{HV} \times f_p}$

$1680= \frac{3690}{0.85 \times 3 \times f_{HV} \times 1}$

$f_{HV}=0.8613$

$f_{HV}=\frac{1}{1+P_T(E_T-1)+P_R(E_R-1)}$

$0.8613=\frac{1}{1+P_T(2.5-1)}$

$P_T=0.1073$

So the percentage of trucks is 23.33% of the total volume and is equal to 754 vehicles per hour.

If the heavy vehicles are banned from the highway, the number of vehicles will reduce to 2936 vehicles per hour.

The value of $f_{HV} = 1$

$v_p=\frac{2936}{0.85 \times 3 \times 1 \times 1}$

   = 1151.3 pcphpl

Density value is , $D=\frac{v_p}{S}$

                               = $\frac{1151.3}{48}$

                               23.98 pc/mi/lane

Therefore, the level of service improves to LOS C, when the heavy vehicles are banned in the highways while the car traffic remains the same.

A murder in a downtown office building has been widely publicized. You’re a police detective and receive a phone call from a dig
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Considering the plain view doctrine, which is an exception to the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment, is applied by law enforcement officers and courts who can seize evidence of a crime without a warrant, if the officer observes the evidence in plain view.

Explanation:

For any digital information related to a murder case that has been seized under the plain view doctrine to be used to convict you of a crime, has to comply with three conditions:

1.  The digital evidence must be in out in the open, and easily observable by the officer, this is what "plain view" refers to.

2. The officer must have a legal right to be where he got the information related to the case.

3. The 'incriminating' character of the information must be a clear hint of the murder to fall under the plain view doctrine and the officer´s experience will help him determining whether the information is evidence or not, upon probable cause related to a crime.

Conduction is thermal energy transfer by:_______.
adell [148]

Answer:

a. molecular interactions.

Explanation:

Conduction is thermal energy transfer by molecular interactions. Therefore, conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Some examples of conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, graphite, etc.

Hence, conduction is thermal energy transfer as a result of the movement of electrons and collision between the molecules of an object.

State and explain briefly four (4) functions that a machine foundation should fulfill.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1 The weight of the foundation block should be enough to withstand vibrations

2 The foundation must be so dimensional that the resulting pressure due to weight of the device as well as the weight of foundation moves through the center of gravity of a base impact area in order to avoid the risk of specific settlement.

3.The base should be sufficiently rigid to have the requisite rigidity

4 a distance should be created all across  machine foundation to separate it from the adjacent parts of the building

Explanation:

 1. The weight of the foundation block should be enough to withstand vibrations and to avoid friction between device and the surrounding soil as well. This can be done by increasing the base block weight in supporting with engine power

2.The foundation must be so dimensional that the resulting pressure due to weight of the device as well as the weight of foundation moves through the center of gravity of a base impact area in order to avoid the risk of specific settlement.

3.The base should be sufficiently rigid to have the requisite rigidity as the slightest misdirection of foundation may cause significant bearing disorders.

4.To avoid propagation of vibration from a device to the adjacent parts of the building, a distance should be created all across  machine foundation to separate it from the adjacent parts of the building.
