An engineer lives in Hawaii at a location where the annual rain fall is 300 inches. She decides to use the rain to generate elec

tricity. She places a rain barrel in a tree at a height of 100 ft. If the volumetric flow rate of water in the system is 3.6x10-6 ft3 /s, what is the average rate that power that could be generated in one year (in lbf-ft/hr)? [Ws= 80.7 lbfft/hr]

Answer:

80.7lbft/hr

Explanation:

Flow rate of water in the system = 3.6x10^-6

The height h = 100

1s = 1/3600h

This implies that

Q = 3.6x10^-6/[1/3600]

Q = 0.0000036/0.000278

Q = 0.01295

Then the power is given as

P = rQh

The specific weight of water = 62.3 lb/ft³

P = 62.3 x 0.01295 x 100

P = 80.675lbft/h

When approximated

P = 80.7 lbft/h

This is the average power that could be generated in a year.

This answers the question and also corresponds with the answer in the question.

When using fall arrest, free fall must be kept at or below how many feet
FromTheMoon [43]
6 feet
Explanation: A few extra feet of free fall can significantly increase the arresting force on the employee, possibly to the point of causing injury. Because of this, the free fall distance should be kept at a minimum, and, as required by the standard, in no case greater than 6 feet (1.8 m).

A solid circular rod that is 600 mm long and 20 mm in diameter is subjected to an axial force of P = 50 kN The elongation of the
Kay [80]

Answer:

a) V = 0.354

b)  G = 25.34 GPA

Explanation:

Solution:

We first determine Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of rigidity

Elongation of rod ΔL = 1.4 mm

Normal stress, δ = P/A

Where P = Force acting on the cross-section

A = Area of the cross-section

Using Area, A = π/4 · d²

= π/4 · (0.0020)²  = 3.14 × 10⁻⁴m²

δ = 50/3.14 × 10⁻⁴    = 159.155 MPA

E(long) = Δl/l  = 1.4/600 = 2.33 × 10⁻³mm/mm

Modulus of Elasticity Е = δ/ε

= 159.155 × 10⁶/2.33 × 10⁻³    = 68.306 GPA

Also final diameter d(f) = 19.9837 mm

Initial diameter d(i) = 20 mm

Poisson said that V = Е(elasticity)/Е(long)

= -  <u>( 19.9837 - 20 /20)</u>

        2.33 × 10⁻³                  

= 0.354,

∴ v = 0.354

Also G = Е/2. (1+V)

=  68.306 × 10⁹/ 2.(1+ 0.354)

= 25.34 GPA

⇒ G = 25.34 GPA
