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 :)

When preparing a foundation for a heavy duty machine tool, discuss any four (4) statics machine characteristics to be considered

kozerog [31]

Answer:

1 ) Accuracy of the Machine Tool

2) Load bearing capacity

3) Linearity in the product line

4) Torque of the machine

Explanation:

we know that machine tool is the permanent essential in manufacturing industries

it is a machine use for different form like cutting , grinding and boring etc

so 1st is

1 ) Accuracy of the Machine Tool

we know it is very important Characteristic of the machine tool because when we use it in manufacturing unit Accuracy of the Machine Tool should be higher concern

2) Load bearing capacity

we should very careful about Load bearing capacity because how much amount of load tool will bear check by some parameter like creep , shear stress and strength etc

3) Linearity in the product line

Linearity in the product line mean that it should be group of related product produced by the any one of the manufacturer otherwise it will take time or it may be intermixing

4) Torque of the machine

we know that Torque is a rotational force or a turning force so amount of force multiplied by the distance of the operation

and we know torque per second give the power rating of machine tool

Provide an argument justifying the following claim: The average (as defined here) of two Java ints i and j is representable as a

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

public static int average(int j, int k) {

return (int)(( (long)(i) + (long)(j) ) /2 );

}

Explanation:

The above code returns the average of two integer variables

Line 1 of the code declares a method along with 2 variables

Method declared: average of integer data type

Variables: j and k of type integer, respectively

Line 2 calculates the average of the two variables and returns the value of the average.

The first of two integers to average is j

The second of two integers to average is k

The last parameter ensures average using (j+k)/2

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
