"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

What's the monomer? Show the structure.
ivolga24 [154]

In order to understand a monomer let´s first see the structure of a polymer. As an example, in the first figure polyethylene (or polyethene) is shown. This polymer, like every other one, is composed of many repeated subunits, these subunits are called monomer. In the second figure, polyethylene's monomer is shown.

Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid–vapor mixture region using 1.06 kg of
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

P_m_i_n = 442KPA

Explanation:

We are given:

m = 1.06Kg

T_H = 1.2T_L

T = 22kj

Therefore we need to find coefficient performance or the cycle

COP_R = \frac {1}{(T_R/T_l) -1}

= \frac {1 }{1.2-1}

= 5

For the amount of heat absorbed:

Q_l = COP_R Wm

= 5 × 22 = 110KJ

For the amount of heat rejected:

Q_H = Q_L + W_m

= 110 + 22 = 132KJ

[tex[ q_H = \frac{Q_L}{m} [/tex];

= = \frac{132}{1.06}

= 124.5KJ

Using refrigerant table at hfg = 124.5KJ/Kg we have 69.5°c

Convert 69.5°c to K we have 342.5K

To find the minimum temperature:

T_L = \frac{T_H}{1.2};

T_L = \frac{342.5}{1.2}

= 285.4K

Convert to °C we have 12.4°C

From the refrigerant R -134a table at T_L = 12.4°c we have 442KPa

A system consists of a disk rotating on a frictionless axle
kakasveta [241]

The system includes a disk rotating on a frictionless axle and a bit of clay transferring towards it, as proven withinside the determine above.

<h3>What is the angular momentum?</h3>

The angular momentum of the device earlier than and after the clay sticks can be the same.

Conservation of angular momentum the precept of conservation of angular momentum states that the whole angular momentum is usually conserved.

  1. Li = Lf where;
  2. li is the preliminary second of inertia
  3. If is the very last second of inertia
  4. wi is the preliminary angular velocity
  5. wf is the very last angular velocity
  6. Li is the preliminary angular momentum
  7. Lf is the very last angular momentum

Thus, the angular momentum of the device earlier than and after the clay sticks can be the same.
