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.

Answer:C 0.12 V

Explanation:

Given

Concentration of $Fe^{2+} M_1=0.40 M$

Concentration of $Ni^{2+} M_2=0.002 M$

Standard Potential for Ni and Fe are $V_2=-0.25 V$ and $V_1=-0.44 V$

$\Delta V=V_2-V_1-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log (\frac{M_1}{M_2})$

$\Delta V=-0.25-(-0.44)-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log (\frac{0.4}{0.002})$

$\Delta V=0.12\ V$

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Average time required = 60 seconds

Therefore,

The maximum capacity that can be accommodated on the system, μ = 60 veh/hr

Average Arrival rate, λ = 30 vehicles per hour

Now,

The average time spent by the vehicle is given as

⇒ $\frac{1}{\mu(1-\frac{\lambda}{\mu})}$

thus,

on substituting the respective values, we get

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{60(1-\frac{30}{60})}$

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{60(1-0.5)}$

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{60(0.5)}$

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{30}$ hr/veh

Average time spent by the vehicle = $\frac{1}{30}\times60$ min/veh

[ 1 hour = 60 minutes]

thus,

Average time spent by the vehicle = 2 min/veh

Hence,

Option (d) 2 min/veh

Determine the initial void ratio, the relative density and the unit weight (in pounds per cubic foot) of the specimens for each

Elina [12.6K]

The initial void ratio is the parameter which is used to show the structural foundations for each specimen of sand so that the method and speed of compression would be measured.

Relative density is the mass per unit volume of each specimen of sand which is measured and it has to do with the relative ratio of the density of the sand.

Unit weight is the the exact weight per cubic foot of the sand which is measured.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you better understand the concept
