Answer:

Valleys and low-lying areas, hills and mountains, were some of the challenges faced by Roman engineers who built Aqueducts. The first aqueduct was built in Rome around 312 BC. By the 3rd century AD, it became common.

igomit [66]

Answer:

design hour volumes will be 4000 to 6000

Explanation:

given data

AADT = 150000 veh/day

solution

we get here design hour volumes that is express as

design hour volumes = AADT × k × D ..............1

here k is factor and its range is 8 to 12 % for urban

and D is directional distribution i.e traffic equal divided by the direction

so here design hour volumes will be 4000 to 6000

Hi,I want to know something.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

So it looks to me that, Yes, you can find 10-50 leds on Amazon. You just have to be specific and search 10-50 led Christmas lights for windows, or something along those lines. Also try filtering the results, and reading the descriptions and reviews. This should help you out, and if it doesn't then I'm sorry.

Good luck friend :)

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b

scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.

The drag force, Fd, imposed by the surrounding air on a

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

a) 23.551 hp

b) 516.89 hp

Explanation:

given:

$F_{d} =\frac{1}{2} C_{d} A_{p} V^{2} \\V_{a}=25 m/hr-->25*\frac{5280}{3600} =36.67ft/s\\V_{b}=70 m/hr-->70*\frac{5280}{3600} =102.67ft/s\\\\C_{d}=.28\\A=25 ft^2\\p=.075lb/ft^2$

required:

the power in hp

solution:

$(F_{d})_{a} =\frac{1}{2} C_{d} A_{p} V_{a} ^{2}$ .............(1)

by substituting in the equation (1)

=353.27 lbf

$(F_{d})_{b} =\frac{1}{2} C_{d} A_{p} V_{b} ^{2}$ ..........(2)

by substituting in the equation (2)

= 2769.29 lbf

power is defined by

P=F.V

$P_{a}=$ 353.27*36.67

=12954.411 lbf.ft/s

=12954.411*.001818

=23.551 hp

$P_{a}=$ 2769.29*102.67

= 284323 lbf.ft/s

= 284323*.001818

= 516.89 hp
