The concrete provides STRENGTH and the steel provides FLEXIBILITY. Both materials work in a concerted manner.

<h3>Concrete and steel in construction </h3>

Concrete and steel are fundamental construction materials that work in a concerted manner.

In a building, steel provides tensile strength, whereas concrete provides compressive strength.

Concrete is a material composed of aggregate (sand and gravel) bonded together by cement and water.

For a flow rate of 212 cfs find the critical depth in (a) a rectangular channel with ????=6.5 ft, (b) a triangular channel with
Fofino [41]

Answer:

A. 3.21ft

B. 3.51ft

C. 2.95ft

D. 1.5275ft

Explanation:

A) Q =212 cu.f/s

Formula for critical depth of rectangular section is: dc =[(Q^2) /(b^2(g))]^1/3

Where dc =critical depth, ft

Q= quantity of flow or discharge, ft3/s

B= width of channel, ft (m)

g = acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2 or 32.185ft/s2

Now, from the question,

Q = 212 cu.f/s and b=6.5ft

Therefore, the critical depth is: [(212^2)/(6.5^2 x32. 185)]^(1/3)

To give ; critical depth= (44,944/1359.82)^(1/3) = 3.21ft

B. Formula for critical depth of a triangular section; dc = (2Q^2/gm^2)^(1/5)

From the question, Q =212 cu.f/s and m=1.6ft while g= 32.185ft/s2

Therefore, critical depth = [(212^2) /(1.6^2 x32. 185)] ^(1/5) = (44,944/84.466)^(1/5) = 3.51ft

C. For trapezoidal channel, critical depth(y) is derived from (Q^2 /g) = (A^3/T)

Where A= (B + my)y and T=(B+2my)

Now from the question, B=6.5ft and m=5ft.

Therefore, A= (6.5 + 2y)y and T=(6. 5 + 2(5y))= 6.5 + 10y

Now, let's plug the value of A and T into the initial equation to derive the critical depth ;

(212^2 /32.185) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Which gives;

1396.43 = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]/ (6.5 + 10y)

Multiply both sides by 6.5 + 10y to get;

1396.43(6.5 + 10y) = [((6.5 + 2y)^3)y^3]

Factorizing this, we get y = 2. 95ft

D) Formula for critical depth of a circular section; dc =D/2[1 - cos(Ѳ/2)]

Where D is diameter of pipe and Ѳ is angle at critical depth in radians.

Angle not given, so we assume it's perpendicular angle is 90.

Since angle is in radians, therefore Ѳ/2 = 90/2 = 45 radians ; converting to degree, = 2578. 31

Therefore, dc = (6.5/2) (1 - cos (2578.31))

dc = 3.25(1 - 0.53) = 3.25 x 0.47 = 1.5275ft

Why doesn’t the servant kill the child oedipus as he was ordered to do
Anni [7]
The Servant does not kill the child Oedipus as he was ordered to do because "He pitied the child" based on the Oedipus Rex story. The servant was ordered to kill the child because of the prophecy that predicted King Laius' death. The king already had attempted to hurt Oedipus by piercing Oedipus's ankle. However, the servant did not finish the job and he rather saved the baby Oedipus.

What’s the number of gold atoms in a nanogram? a picogram?
zvonat [6]

Answer :

The number of gold atoms in nanogram is, 3.057\times 10^{12}

The number of gold atoms in picogram is, 3.057\times 10^{9}

Explanation :

As we know that the molar mass of gold is, 196.97 g/mole. That means, 1 mole of gold has 196.97 grams of mass of gold.

As we know that,

1 mole contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of atoms.

First we have to determine the number of gold atoms in a nanogram.

As, 196.97 grams of gold contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of gold atoms

And, 1 grams of gold contains \frac{1g}{196.97g}\times (6.022\times 10^{23}) number of gold atoms

So, 10^{-9} nanograms of gold contains \frac{1g}{196.97g}\times (10^{-9})\times (6.022\times 10^{23})=3.057\times 10^{12} number of gold atoms

The number of gold atoms in nanogram is, 3.057\times 10^{12}

Now we have to determine the number of gold atoms in a picogram.

As, 196.97 grams of gold contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of gold atoms

And, 1 grams of gold contains \frac{1g}{196.97g}\times (6.022\times 10^{23}) number of gold atoms

So, 10^{-12} picograms of gold contains \frac{1g}{196.97g}\times (10^{-12})\times (6.022\times 10^{23})=3.057\times 10^{9} number of gold atoms

The number of gold atoms in picogram is, 3.057\times 10^{9}

One AA battery in a flashlight stores 9400 J. The three LED flashlight bulbs consume 0.5 W. How many hours will the flashlight l
Effectus [21]

Answer:

time = 5.22 hr

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of battery = 9400 J

Power consumed by three led bulb is 0.5 watt

we know Power is give as

Power = \frac{ energy}{time}

plugging all value and solve for time

time = \frac{energy}{power}

time = \frac{9400}{0.5}

time = 18,800 sec

in hour

1 hour = 3600 sec

therefore in 18,800 sec

time = \frac{18800}{3600} = 5.22 hr
