The Eads Bridge, which crosses the Mississippi River near St Louis, Missouri, was one of the first all steel bridges built in th

e world. The bridge was built by the Keystone Bridge Co.pany, and, during development, engineers decided that all-steel would be the best construction, even though it was more expensive, because it would have the greatest strength, which was needed due to the beidge's size. This description of engineering can be classified as __
A.) Neither a case study nor case history
B.) A case history
C.) A case study
D.) Both a case study and a case history.

Who can work on a fixed ladder that extends more than 24 feet?
baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the fixed ladder will reach more than twenty-four (24) feet above a lower level, you as the employer are required to incorporate a personal fall arrest or ladder safety system into the installation of the ladder. For reference, this requirement is cited in OSHA Section 1910.28(b)(9)(i).

If the total length of the climb on a fixed ladder equals or exceeds 24 feet (7.3 m), the ladder must be equipped with ladder safety devices; or self-retracting lifelines and rest platforms at intervals not to exceed 150 feet (45.7 m); or a cage or well and multiple ladder sections with each ladder section not

You have been assigned to design an open cylindrical storage tank 4 meters tall with a diameter of 8 meters to be made out of A-
Katen [24]

Answer:

The required wall thickness is 1.506 \times 10^{-3} m

Explanation:

Given:

Fluid density \rho = 1200 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

Diameter of tank d = 8 m

Length of tank l = 4 m

F.S = 4

For A-36 steel yield stress \sigma = 250 MPa,

Allowable stress \sigma _{allow} = \frac{\sigma}{F.S}

 \sigma _{allow} = \frac{250}{4} = 62.5 MPa

Pressure force is given by,

 P = \rho gh

 P = 1200 \times 9.8 \times 4

P = 47088 Pa

Now for a vertical pipe,

\sigma _{allow} = \frac{Pd}{4t}

Where t = required thickness

 t = \frac{Pd}{4 \sigma _{allow} }

 t = \frac{47088 \times 8 }{4 \times 62.5 \times 10^{6} }

t = 1.506 \times 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the required wall thickness is 1.506 \times 10^{-3} m

A bus travels the 100 miles between A and B at 50 mi/h and then another 100 miles between B and C at 70 mi/h.
stira [4]

Answer:

c. less than 60 mi/h

Explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the bus, we need to calculate the total distance traveled by the bus, as well as the total time of travel of the bus.

Total Distance Traveled = S = 100 mi + 100 mi

S = 200 mi

Now, for total time, we calculate the times for both speeds from A to b and then B to C, separately and add them.

Total Time = t = Time from A to B + Time from B to C

t = (100 mi)/(50 mi/h) + (100 mi)(70 mi/h)

t = 2 h + 1.43 h

t = 3.43 h

Now, the average speed of bus will be given as:

Average Speed = V = S/t

V = 200 mi/3.43 h

<u>V = 58.33 mi/h</u>

It is clear from this answer that the correct option is:

<u>c. less than 60 mi/h</u>

Does the Diesel engine have engine knock or detonation problem? Why?
Luda [366]

Explanation:

Yes Diesel engine have problem of knocking.

We know that knocking is phenomenon in which suddenly large amount of power generates this large amount of power will cause the failure of diesel engine.

Actually when one set of fuel inject inside the cylinder to burn with already compressed air (in general up to 10-15 bar) then this fuel does not burn complete and accumulate inside the cylinder.After that second set of fuel inject inside the cylinder then that one set of fuel burns with second set of fuel and produces large amount of sudden power for engine and causes the breaks in the crank or connecting rod of engine.it leads to damage the engine.
