Answer:

structural safety

Explanation:

Guards protecting floor surfaces must be 36 inches in height, while guards for stairs must be 34 inches in height measured vertically from the tread nosing. A guard may also serve as the required handrail (34 to 38 inches high) provided the top rail meets the requirements for grip size.

The size of Carvins Cove water reservoir is 3.2 billion gallons. Approximately, 11 cfs of water is continuous withdrawn from thi

Zolol [24]

Answer:

471 days

Explanation:

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir = 3.2 billion gallons i.e. 3.2 x 10˄9 gallons

As,

1 gallon = 0.133 cubic feet (cf)

Therefore,

Capacity of Carvins Cove water reservoir in cf = 3.2 x 10˄9 x 0.133

= 4.28 x 10˄8

Applying Mass balance i.e

Accumulation = Mass In - Mass out (Eq. 01)

Here

Mass In = 0.5 cfs

Mass out = 11 cfs

Putting values in (Eq. 01)

Accumulation = 0.5 - 11

= - 10.5 cfs

Negative accumulation shows that reservoir is depleting i.e. at a rate of 10.5 cubic feet per second.

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per hour = 10.5 x 3600

= 37,800

Converting depletion of reservoir in cubic feet per day = 37, 800 x 24

= 907,200

i.e. 907,200 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1 day

1 cubic feet volume is being depleted in days = 1/907,200 day

4.28 x 10˄8 cubic feet volume will deplete in days = (4.28 x 10˄8) x 1/907,200

= 471 Days.

Hence in case of continuous drought reservoir will last for 471 days before dry-up.

10% A steel beam W18x76 spans 32 feet and is subjected to a Moment of 334 kips-ft. Find the load w on the beam. Determine the de

Lilit [14]

Answer:

w = 10.437 kips

deflection at 1/4 span 20.83\E ft

at mid span = 1.23\E ft

shear stress 7.3629 psi

Explanation:

area of cross section = 18*76

length of span = 32 ft

moment = 334 kips-ft

we know that

moment = load *eccentricity

334 = w * 32

w = 10.437 kips

deflection at 1/4 span

$\delta = \frac{wa^2b^2}{3EI}$

$= \frac{10.4375*8^2 *24^2}{3E \frac{BD^3}{12}}$

$=\frac{10.437 *8^2*24^2}{3E \frac{18*16^3}{12}}$

= 20.83\E ft

at mid span

$\delta = \frac{wl^3}{48EI}$

$= \frac{10.43 *32^3}{48 *E*\frac{18*16^3}{12}}$

$\delta = 1.23\E ft$

shear stress

$\tau = \frac{w}{A} = \frac{10.43 7*10^3}{18*76} =7.3629 psi$

A circular column is fixed at the base and not supported at the top. If the column needs to be 15ft and hold 10kips, what is the

muminat

Answer:

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches

Explanation:

Given;

Length of the column, L = 15 ft

Applied load, P = 10 kips = 10 × 10³ Psi

End condition as fixed at the base and free at the top

thus,

Effective length of the column, $\L_e$ = 2L = 30 ft = 360 inches

now, for aluminium

Elastic modulus, E = 1.0 × 10⁷ Psi

Now, from the Euler's critical load, we have

$P =\frac{\pi^2EI}{L_e^2}$

where, I is the moment of inertia

on substituting the respective values, we get

$10\times10^3 =\frac{\pi^2\times1.0\times10^7\times I}{360^2}$

I = 13.13 in⁴

also for circular cross-section

I = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

thus,

13.13 = $\frac{\pi}{64}\times d^4$

d = 4.04 inches

The required size of column is length = 15 ft and diameter = 4.04 inches

A 2-mm-diameter electrical wire is insulated by a 2-mm-thick rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m ? K), and the wire/sheath interface

Svet_ta [14]

Question

A 2-mm-diameter electrical wire is insulated by a 2-mm-thick rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m.K), and the wire/sheath interface is characterized by a thermal contact resistance of Rtc = 3E-4m².K/W. The convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the sheath is 10 W/m²K, and the temperature of the ambient air is 20°C.

If the temperature of the insulation may not exceed 50°C, what is the maximum allowable electrical power that may be dissipated per unit length of the conductor? What is the critical radius of the insulation?

Answer:

a. 4.52W/m

b. 13mm

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of electrical wire = 2mm

Wire Thickness = 2-mm

Thermal Conductivity of Rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m.K)

Thermal contact resistance = 3E-4m².K/W

Convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the sheath = 10 W/m²K,

Temperature of the ambient air = 20°C.

Maximum Allowable Sheet Temperature = 50°C.

From the thermal circuit (See attachment), we my write

E'q = q' = (Tin,i - T∞)/(R'cond + R'conv)

= (Tin,i - T∞)/(Ln (r in,o / r in,i)/2πk + (1/(2πr in,o h)))

Where r in,i = D/2

= 2mm/2

= 1 mm

= 0.001m

r in,o = r in,i + t = 0.003m

T in, i = Tmax = 50°C

Hence

q' = (50 - 20)/[(Ln (0.003/0.001)/(2π * 0.13) + 1/(2π * 0.003 * 10)]

= 30/[(Ln3/0.26π) + 1/0.06π)]

= 30/[(1.34) + 5.30)]

= 30/6.64

= 4.52W/m

The critical radius is unaffected by the constant resistance.

Hence

Critical Radius = k/h

= 0.13/10

= 0.013m

= 13mm
