Answer:

σ =5.39Mpa

Explanation:

step one:

The flexure strength is defined as the tendency with which unreinforced concrete yield to bending forces

Flexural strength test Flexural strength is calculated using the equation:

σ = FL/ (bd^2 )----------1

Where

σ = Flexural strength of concrete in Mpa

F= Failure load (in N).

L= Effective span of the beam

b= Breadth of the beam

step two:

Given data

F=40.45 kN= 40450N

b=0.15m

d=0.15m

L=0.45m

step three:

substituting into the expression we have

σ = 40450*0.45/ (0.15*0.15^2 )

σ =18202.5/ (0.15*0.15^2 )

σ =18202.5/ (0.15*0.0225 )

σ =18202.5/0.003375

σ =5393333.3

σ =5393333.3/1000000

σ =5.39Mpa

Therefore the flexure strength of the concrete is 5.39Mpa

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-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.

A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. The acceleration decreases linearly with time to zero in 15 s, afte
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: At time 18.33 seconds it will have moved 500 meters.

Explanation:

Since the acceleration of the car is a linear function of time it can be written as a function of time as

a(t)=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

a=\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}\\\\\therefore \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

Integrating both sides we get

\int \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}dt=\int 5(1-\frac{t}{15})dt\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=v=5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30}+c

Now since car starts from rest thus at time t = 0 ; v=0 thus c=0

again integrating with respect to time we get

\int \frac{dx}{dt}dt=\int (5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30})dt\\\\x(t)=\frac{5t^{2}}{2}-\frac{5t^{3}}{90}+D

Now let us assume that car starts from origin thus D=0

thus in the first 15 seconds it covers a distance of

x(15)=2.5\times 15^{2}-\farc{15^{3}}{18}=375m

Thus the remaining 125 meters will be covered with a constant speed of

v(15)=5\times 15-\frac{15^{2}}{6}=37.5m/s

in time equalling t_{2}=\frac{125}{37.5}=3.33seconds

Thus the total time it requires equals 15+3.33 seconds

t=18.33 seconds

A heat pump cycle whose coefficient of performance is 2.5 delivers energy by heat transfer to a dwelling at a rate of 20kW.
12345 [234]

Answer:

a) 8kW

b) $128

Explanation:

Given the coefficient of performance of the heat pump cycle to be 2.5

Energy delivered by the heat pump = 20kW

a) net power required to operate the heat pump = Energy delivered / coefficient of performance

Net power required = 20/2.5

= 8kW

b) Given the cost of electricity is $0.08 for 1kWhour

Since net power required to operate heat pump = 8kW

If the heat pump operate for 200hours, total power required for a month = 8kW×200hours = 1600kWhour

since 1kWh of electricity costs $0.08, cost of electricity used in a month when the pump operates for 200hour will be 1600kWh×$0.08 which is equivalent to $128
