"At 195 miles long, and with 7,325 miles of coastline, the Chesapeake Bay is the largest and most complex estuary in the United

States.Though long and wide (30 miles wide at the Potomac River), the bay is very shallow, with an average depth of only 28 feet." The Bay's maximum depth is 174 ft. The hydraulic model of the Chesapeake Bay was built with a model length ratio Lr=1/1000
a. How wide was the model Bay [ft] at the Potomac River?
b. The Bay Bridge is 4.3 miles long; how long was it in the model [ft]?
c. If the hydraulic model occupied about 8 acres, approximately what is the real-world (prototype) area represented by the model [square miles]?
d. At this scale, what would be the average depth and maximum depth of the model Bay? [give answers in both ft and inches)

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

Part a) Width of bay at Potomac River:

Given Data:

· Actual Width at Potomac River = 30 miles

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

In fluid mechanics models of real structures are prepared in simulation so that they can be analyzed accurately. A model is known to have simulation if model carries same geometric, kinematic and dynamic properties at a small scale.

Length of any part in model = Actual length x Lr

Hence,

Model Width of bay at Potomac River = 30 x 1/1000 = 0.03 miles

Since 1 mile = 5280 ft

Model Width of bay at Potomac River = 0.03 x 5280 = 158.4 ft

Part b) Model Length of bay bridge in model:

Given Data:

· Actual Length of bay bridge = 4.3 miles

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

Model Length = Actual Length x Lr = 4.3 x 1/1000 = 0.0043 miles

Since 1 mile = 5280 ft

Model Length in feet = 0.0043 x 5280 = 22.704 ft

Part c) Model Length of bay bridge in model:

Given Data:

· Model Area = 8 acre

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

Model Area = Actual Area x Lr x Lr

8 Model Area :: Actual Area =- (Lp)2 2 = 8,000,000 acre 1000

Since 1 square mile = 640 acre,

Actual Area in square miles = 8,000,000/640 = 12,500 square miles

Part d) Average and maximum depth of model:

Given Data:

· Actual Average depth = 28 ft

· Actual Maximum depth = 174 ft

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

Model average depth = Actual average depth x Lr = 28 x 1/1000 = 0.028 feet

Since 1 ft = 12 inch

Model average depth in inch = 0.028 x 12 = 0.336 in

Model maximum depth = Actual maximum depth x Lr = 174 x 1/1000 = 0.174 feet

Since 1 ft = 12 inch

Model maximum depth in inch = 0.174 x 12 = 2.088 in

oee [108]

Answer:

a) 24 kg

b) 32 kg

Explanation:

The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:

p = P / A

p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)

Rearranging

p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g

m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g

m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg

After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa

The mass of piston plus addded weight is

m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg

56 - 24 = 32 kg

The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.

The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 %  binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder  gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the  binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.
