Answer:

A beam carries vertical loads

Explanation:

In bridge: Beam. The beam bridge is the most common bridge form. A beam carries vertical loads by bending. As the beam bridge bends, it undergoes horizontal compression on the top.

I hope this answered your question, if not let me know :)

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 tank $V = A\times side\ water\ depth$

$=314.16\times 2 = 628.32m^3$

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

$= \pi \times 18 = 56.549 m$

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

Detention time $t_d = \frac{volume}{flow} = \frac{628.32}{6450} \times 24 = 2.34 hr$

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

A farmer has 12 hectares of land on which he grows corn, wheat, and soybeans. It costs $4500 per hectare to grow corn, $6000 to

maw [93]

The number of hectares of each crop he should plant are; 250 hectares of Corn, 500 hectares of Wheat and 450 hectares of soybeans

<h3>How to solve algebra word problem?</h3>

He grows corn, wheat and soya beans on the farm of 1200 hectares. Thus;

C + W + S = 12 ----(1)

It costs $45 per hectare to grow corn, $60 to grow wheat, and $50 to grow soybeans. Thus;

45C + 60W + 50S = 63750 -----(2)

He will grow twice as many hectares of wheat as corn. Thus;

W = 2C ------(3)

Put 2C for W in eq 1 and eq 2 to get;

C + 2C + S = 1200

3C + S = 1200 -----(4)

45C + 60(2C) + 50S = 63750

45C + 120C + 50S = 63750

165C + 50S = 63750 ------(5)

Solving eq 4 and 5 simultaneosly gives;

C = 250 and W = 500

Thus; S = 1200 - 3(250)

S = 450

The design specifications of a 1.2-m long solid circular transmission shaft require that the angle of twist of the shaft not exc

Verizon [17]

Answer:

c = 18.0569 mm

Explanation:

Strategy

We will find required diameter based on angle of twist and based on shearing stress. The larger value will govern.

Given Data

Applied Torque

T = 750 N.m

Length of shaft

L = 1.2 m

Modulus of Rigidity

G = 77.2 GPa

Allowable Stress

г = 90 MPa

Maximum Angle of twist

∅=4°

∅=4* $\pi$ /180

∅=69.813 *10^-3 rad

Required Diameter based on angle of twist

∅=TL/GJ

∅=TL/G* $\pi$ /2*c^4

∅=2TL/G* $\pi$ *c^4

c= $\sqrt[4]{2TL/\pi G }$ ∅

c=18.0869 *10^-3 rad

Required Diameter based on shearing stress

г = T/J*c

г = [T/(J* $\pi$ /2*c^4)]*c

г =[2T/(J* $\pi$ *c^4)]*c

c=17.441*10^-3 rad

Minimum Radius Required

We will use larger of the two values

c= 18.0569 x 10^-3 m

c = 18.0569 mm

A 1000 W iron utilizes a resistance wire which is 20 inches long and has a diameter of 0.08 inches. Determine the rate of heat g

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume is 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux is 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

Explanation:

Rate of heat generation = 1000 W = 1000/0.29307 = 3412.15 Btu/hr

Area (A) = πD^2/4

Diameter (D) = 0.08 inches = 0.08 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 0.0067 ft

A = 3.142×0.0067^2/4 = 3.53×10^-5 ft^2

Volume (V) = A × Length

L = 20 inches = 20 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 1.67 ft

V = 3.53×10^-5 × 1.67 = 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3

Rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3 = 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 3.53×10^-5 ft^2 = 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a two sample t-test and not a matched pair t-test

null hypothesis(H0) will be that mean energy consumed by copper rotor motors is greater than or equal to mean energy consumed by aluminium rotor motors

alternate hypothesis(H1) will be that mean energy consumed by copper rotor motors is less than or equal to mean energy consumed by aluminium rotor motors.

So, option D is rejected

The hypothesis will not compare mean of differences of values of energy consumed by copper rotor motor and aluminium rotor motor.

Option A and C are also rejected
