Answer:

2376 vph

Explanation:

Given data

free flow speed ( Vf ) = 45 mph

Jam density = 25 ft per vehicle

flow rate = 1950 vph

first we calculate the Jam density in vehicle /mile

= 5280 / 25 = 211.2 vehicle/mile

where ; 1 mile = 5280 feet

The maximum flow can be calculated using Greenshield method

q = ( Vf * jam density ) / 4  =  ( 45 * 211.2 ) / 4

  = 2376 vph

The lattice constant of a simple cubic lattice is a0.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

A)The sketches for the required planes were drawn in the first attachment.

B)The sketches for the required directions were drawn in the second attachment.

To draw a plane in a simple cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- the cube has 3 main directions called "a", "b" and "c" (as shown in the first attachment)

2- The coordinates of that plane are written as: π:(1/a₀ 1/b₀ 1/c₀) (if one of the coordinates is 0, for example (1 1 0), c₀ is ∞, therefore that plane never cross the direction c).

3- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ at the plane that crosses this main directions and point them in the cubic cell.

4- Join the points.

To draw a direction in a simple cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ in the cubic cell.

2- Draw the direction as a vector-like (a₀ b₀ c₀).

A W18 X 119 is used as a compression member with one end fixed and the other end pinned. The length is 12 feet. What is the desi
laiz [17]

Answer:

156.0 ksi

Explanation:

The formula of compressive strength is  CS = F / A

where F is the force or load while A is the cross-sectional area

Given the inertia Ag = 35.1 in^4 , which is less than 40, the steel has a short column.

E = 29000 ksi

L = 12ft

r = 2.69 in

therefore;

CS = π^2 E / (kL^2/r)^2

   = π^2 29000 / (0.8 x 12^2 / 2.69)^2

  = 286292.756 / 1834.4089 = 156 ksi

Suppose that we have a 1000pF parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric charged to 1000V. The capacitor terminals are open ci
N76 [4]

Answer:

W = 1 mJ

V_new = 2000 V

W_new = 2 mJ

The extra energy came from the work done from moving the plates

Explanation:

We are given;

Capacitance; C = 1000pF = 10^(-9) F

Voltage; V = 1000V

Now,formula for stored energy in a parallel plate capacitor is given by;

W = (1/2)CV² = (1/2)(10^(-9))(1000²) = 0.5 mJ

However, in this case, it's W = 0.5 x 2 = 1 mJ since parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric

When plates are moved and distance between plates is doubled(net charge is the same), thus we can calculate voltage from;

Q = CV

Since, C_new = C/2

Thus,

Q = (C/2)V_new

V_new = 2Q/C

Thus, V_new = 2V

Thus, V_new = 2 x 1000 = 2000 V

Now,

W_new = (1/2)C_new•(V_new)² = (1/2) (0.5C)•(2V)² = CV² = 2W = 2 x 1 = 2mJ
