Answer:

(b) Governments are usually responsible for building and maintaining the built environment.

Explanation:

Public works, which are the responsibility of Government, generally have a considerable civil engineering content. Government employs civil engineers to propose, design, and oversee the construction of such projects.

In some cases, the government employee simply needs to be knowledgeable enough to understand the work done by the contractor's engineers. In other cases, the government employee must make sure the contractor's engineering work is accurate and complete, makes use of appropriate technology, and is in compliance with appropriate regulations and standards. That can require educating the contractor--more than simple oversight.

A light bar AD is suspended from a cable BE and supports a 20-kg block at C. The ends A and D of the bar are in contact with fri

babymother [125]

Answer:

Tension in cable BE= 196.2 N

Reactions A and D both are 73.575 N

Explanation:

The free body diagram is as attached sketch. At equilibrium, sum of forces along y axis will be 0 hence

$T_{BE}-W=0$ hence

$T_{BE}=W=20*9.81=196.2 N$

Therefore, tension in the cable, $T_{BE}=196.2 N$

Taking moments about point A, with clockwise moments as positive while anticlockwise moments as negative then

$196.2\times 0.125- 196.2\times 0.2+ D_x\times 0.2=0$

$24.525-39.24+0.2D_x=0$

$D_x=73.575 N$

Similarly,

$A_x-D_y=0$

$A_x=73.575 N$

Therefore, both reactions at A and D are 73.575 N

A pump must be able to deliver 34 L/s of crude castor oil at 25°C ρ = 0.934 g/mL and μ = 0.078 Pa.s. It is known that, due to th

Reptile [31]

Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain hydrocarbon in ricinoleic acid (a major component of the oil), offer several possibilities of transforming it into variety of materials. The oil is thus a potential alternative to petroleum-based starting chemicals for the production of materials with variety of properties. Despite this huge potential, very little has recently been reviewed on the use of castor oil as a bio-resource in the production of functional materials. This review therefore highlights the potential of castor oil in the production of these diverse materials with their projected global market potential. The review gives the background information of castor oil and its geographical availability, the properties and its uses as bio-based resource for synthesis of various materials. The review further highlights on the use of castor oil or ricinoleic acid as a green capping agent in the synthesis of nanomaterials.

Which regulations are related to guard rail height and dimensions and uniformity of stairs?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

structural safety

Explanation:

Guards protecting floor surfaces must be 36 inches in height, while guards for stairs must be 34 inches in height measured vertically from the tread nosing. A guard may also serve as the required handrail (34 to 38 inches high) provided the top rail meets the requirements for grip size.
