Answer:

1) g=31.87ft/s^2

2)m=120

W=119.64lbf

Explanation:

first part

the weight of a body with mass is calculated by the following equation

W=mg

we convert 120lb to slug

m=120lbx1slug/32.147lb=3.733slug

solving for g

g=W/m

g=119/3.733=31.87ft/s^2

second part

the mass is the same

m=120lb=3.733slug

Weight

W=3.733slug*32.05ft/s^2=119.64lbf

For a flow rate of 212 cfs find the critical depth in (a) a rectangular channel with ????=6.5 ft, (b) a triangular channel with
Fofino [41]

Answer:

A. 3.21ft

B. 3.51ft

C. 2.95ft

D. 1.5275ft

Explanation:

A) Q =212 cu.f/s

Formula for critical depth of rectangular section is: dc =[(Q^2) /(b^2(g))]^1/3

Where dc =critical depth, ft

Q= quantity of flow or discharge, ft3/s

B= width of channel, ft (m)

g = acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2 or 32.185ft/s2

Now, from the question,

Q = 212 cu.f/s and b=6.5ft

Therefore, the critical depth is: [(212^2)/(6.5^2 x32. 185)]^(1/3)

To give ; critical depth= (44,944/1359.82)^(1/3) = 3.21ft

B. Formula for critical depth of a triangular section; dc = (2Q^2/gm^2)^(1/5)

From the question, Q =212 cu.f/s and m=1.6ft while g= 32.185ft/s2

Therefore, critical depth = [(212^2) /(1.6^2 x32. 185)] ^(1/5) = (44,944/84.466)^(1/5) = 3.51ft

C. For trapezoidal channel, critical depth(y) is derived from (Q^2 /g) = (A^3/T)

Where A= (B + my)y and T=(B+2my)

Now from the question, B=6.5ft and m=5ft.

Therefore, A= (6.5 + 2y)y and T=(6. 5 + 2(5y))= 6.5 + 10y

Now, let's plug the value of A and T into the initial equation to derive the critical depth ;

(212^2 /32.185) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Which gives;

1396.43 = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Multiply both sides by 6.5 + 10y to get;

1396.43(6.5 + 10y) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]

Factorizing this, we get y = 2. 95ft

D) Formula for critical depth of a circular section; dc =D/2[1 - cos(Ѳ/2)]

Where D is diameter of pipe and Ѳ is angle at critical depth in radians.

Angle not given, so we assume it's perpendicular angle is 90.

Since angle is in radians, therefore Ѳ/2 = 90/2 = 45 radians ; converting to degree, = 2578. 31

Therefore, dc = (6.5/2) (1 - cos (2578.31))

dc = 3.25(1 - 0.53) = 3.25 x 0.47 = 1.5275ft

In several sentences, please discuss:
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Everything is explained below in the Explanation section.

Explanation:

<em>a) TMDL stands for = Total Daily Maximum Loads</em>

TMDL is the measure of total maximum amount of pollutant allowed in the water body. TMDL is a important tool to maintain the quality of water and measure the aquatic pollution.

Whereas, the formula to calculate TMDL is as follows:

TMDL =  Sum of waste load allocations (point source) + Sum of load allocations (non point sources and background) + Margin of Safety

 

<em>b) Dead Zones :</em>

Dead zones are zones which are termed as hypoxic which are low in oxygen because of the extreme aquatic pollution caused by human activities which in result deplete the oxygen level above the and below the oceans most required by the marine life. In addition, dead zones are those areas where oxygen is low and life in danger is high comparatively to other areas of oceans.

The main cause of that dead zones is because of eutrophication which means adding dangerous chemical nutrients in the water in exceeding amounts.

<em>c) Why Ammonia-nitrogen is detrimental to waterbodies: </em>

1. Ammonia nitrogen is a very toxic pollutant often found in landfills and sewage and waste products.

2. Ammonia nitrogen reduces the ability of water to disinfect its inhabitants and it reduces the purity. Furthermore, it changes the smell of the water and pollutes it.

3. Last but not the least, if you increase the concentration of ammonia nitrogen, the dissolved oxygen rate will be decreased and it has a inverse relation which is very dangerous to marine life underwater.

<em>d) Streeter-Phelps DO curve:</em>

Please refer to the attachment, I have attached the curve.

This curve is used to evaluate the dissolved oxygen in the water with varying distance.

It can be further studied from the curve that, how much loss sewage and other pollutants can endure upon the marine life.

The mechanical properties of a metal may be improved by incorporating fine particles of its oxide. Given that the moduli of elas
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A) Upper bound modulus of elasticity; E = 165.6 GPa

B) Lower bound modulus of elasticity; E = 83.09 GPa

Explanation:

A) Formula for upper bound modulus is given as;

E = E_m(1 - V_f) + E_f•V_f

We are given;

E_m = 60 GPa

E_f = 380 GPa

V_f = 33% = 0.33

Thus,

E = 60(1 - 0.33) + 380(0.33)

E = (60 x 0.67) + 125.4

E = 165.6 GPa

B) Formula for lower bound modulus is given as;

E = 1/[(V_f/E_f) + ((1 – V_f)/E_m)]

E = 1/[(0.33/380) + ((1 – 0.33)/60)]

E = 1/(0.0008684 + 0.01116667)

E = 1/0.01203507

E = 83.09 GPa
