If it is desired to lay off a distance of 10,000' with a total error of no more than ± 0.30 ft. If a 100' tape is used and the

distance can be measured using full tape measures, what is the maxim error per tape measure allowed?

Answer:

± 0.003 ft

Explanation:

Since our distance is 10,000 ft and we need to use a full tape measure of 100 ft. We find that 10,000 = 100 × 100.

Let L' = our distance and L = our tape measure

So, L' = 100L

Now by error determination ΔL' = 100ΔL

Now ΔL' = ± 0.30 ft

ΔL = ΔL'/100

= ± 0.30 ft/100

= ± 0.003 ft

So, the maxim error per tape is ± 0.003 ft

jasenka [17]

Answer:

overflow rate 20.53 m^3/d/m^2

Detention time 2.34 hr

weir loading  114.06 m^3/d/m

Explanation:

calculation for single clarifier

sewag\  flow Q = \frac{12900}{2} = 6450 m^2/d

surface\  area =\frac{pi}{4}\times diameter ^2 = \frac{pi}{4}\times 20^2

surface area = 314.16 m^2

volume of tankV  = A\times side\ water\ depth

                             =314.16\times 2 = 628.32m^3

Length\ of\  weir = \pi \times diameter of weir

                       = \pi \times 18 = 56.549 m

overflow rate =v_o = \frac{flow}{surface\ area} = \frac{6450}{314.16} = 20.53 m^3/d/m^2

Detention timet_d = \frac{volume}{flow} = \frac{628.32}{6450} \times 24 = 2.34 hr

weir loading= \frac{flow}{weir\ length} = \frac{6450}{56.549} = 114.06 m^3/d/m

How can any student outside apply for studying engineering at Cambridge University​
telo118 [61]
Admission to the Engineering course at Cambridge is highly competitive, both in terms of the numbers and quality of applicants. In considering applicants, Colleges look for evidence both of academic ability and of motivation towards Engineering. There are no absolute standards required of A Level achievement, but it should be noted that the average entrant to the Department has three A* grades. You need to get top marks in Maths and Physics.All Colleges strongly prefer applicants for Engineering to be taking a third subject that is relevant to Engineering.
Hope that helps and good luck if you are applying. Can you please mark this as brainliest and press the thank you button and if you have any further questions please let me know!!

Which of the following is a possible unit of ultimate tensile strength?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Newton per square meter (N/m2)

Explanation:

Required

Unit of ultimate tensile strength

Ultimate tensile strength (U) is calculated using:

U = \frac{Ultimate\ Force}{Area}

The units of force is N (Newton) and the unit of Area is m^2

So, we have:

U = \frac{N}{m^2}

or

U = N/m^2

<em>Hence: (c) is correct</em>

If the rotational speed of a pump motor is reduced by 35%, what is the effect on the pump performance in terms of capacity, head
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

- the capacity of the pump reduces by 35%.

- the head gets reduced by 57%.

the power consumption by the pump is reduced by 72%

Explanation:

the pump capacity is related to the speed as speed is reduces by 35%

so new speed is (100 - 35) = 65% of orginal speed

speed Q ∝ N ⇒ Q1/Q2 = N1/N2

Q2 = (N2/N1)Q1    

Q2 = (65/100)Q1

which means that the capacity of the pump is also reduces by 35%.

the head in a pump is related by

H ∝ N² ⇒ H1/H2 = N1²/N2²

H2 = (N2N1)²H1

H2 = (65/100)²H1 = 0.4225H1

so the head gets reduced by 1 - 0.4225 = 0.5775 which is 57%.

Now The power requirement of a pump is related as

P ∝ N³ ⇒ P1/P2 = N1³/N2³

P2 = (N2/N1)³P1

H2 = (65/100)²P1 = 0.274P1

So the reduction in power is 1 - 0.274 = 0.725 which is 72%

Therefore for a reduction of 35% of speed there is a reduction of 72% of the power consumption by the pump.
