Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

I is the electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A$

So, the current is 0.625 A.

A saturated 1.5 ft3 clay sample has a natural water content of 25%, shrinkage limit (SL) of 12% and a specific gravity (GS) of 2

Svetllana [295]

$79 f t^{3}$ is the volume of the sample when the water content is 10%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given Data:

$V_{1}=100\ \mathrm{ft}^{3}$

First has a natural water content of 25% = $\frac{25}{100}$ = 0.25

Shrinkage limit, $w_{1}=12 \%=\frac{12}{100}=0.12$

$G_{s}=2.70$

We need to determine the volume of the sample when the water content is 10% (0.10). As we know,

$V \propto[1+e]$

$\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}=\frac{1+e_{2}}{1+e_{1}}$ ------> eq 1

$e_{1}=\frac{w_{1} \times G_{s}}{S_{r}}$

The above equation is at $S_{r}=1$ ,

$e_{1}=w_{1} \times G_{s}$

Applying the given values, we get

$e_{1}=0.25 \times 2.70=0.675$

Shrinkage limit is lowest water content

$e_{2}=w_{2} \times G_{s}$

Applying the given values, we get

$e_{2}=0.12 \times 2.70=0.324$

Applying the found values in eq 1, we get

$\frac{V_{2}}{100}=\frac{1+0.324}{1+0.675}=\frac{1.324}{1.675}=0.7904$

$V_{2}=0.7904 \times 100=79\ \mathrm{ft}^{3}$

11) (10 points) A large valve is to be used to control water supply in large conduits. Model tests are to be done to determine h

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

7.94 ft^3/ s.

Explanation:

So, we are given that the '''model will be 1/6 scale (the modeled valve will be 1/6 the size of the prototype valve)'' and the prototype flow rate is to be 700 ft3 /s. Then, we are asked to look for or calculate or determine the value for the model flow rate.

Note that we are to use Reynolds scaling for the velocity as par the instruction from the question above.

Therefore; kp/ks = 1/6.

Hs= 700 ft3 /s and the formula for the Reynolds scaling => Hp/Hs = (kp/ks)^2.5.

Reynolds scaling==> Hp/ 700 = (1/6)^2.5.

= 7.94 ft^3/ s

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.
