1. A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) is located on rolling terrain and has 12-ft lanes, no lateral obstructions

within 6 ft of the pavement edges, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and three ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A weekday directional peak-hour volume of 1800 vehicles (familiar users) is observed, with 700 arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If a LOS no worse than C is desired, determine the maximum number of heavy vehicles that can be present in the peak-hour traffic stream.

Mrrafil [318]

Answer:

Change in length = 0.0913 in

Explanation:

Given data:

Length = 6 ft

Diameter = 0.2 in

Load w = 200 lb/ft

Solution:

We start by applying the equilibrium moment about point C, expressed as

∑M(c) = 0.............1

This can be used to find the force in AB.

10× 200 × ( 5) - (T cos(30)) × 10 = 0

Solving gives us

Tension in wire T(AB) = 1154.7 lb

We also know the modulus of elasticity for A992 is

E = 29000 ksi

And the area will be

Area = \frac{\pi }{4}\times 0.2^2

The change in length is expressed as

Change in length = \frac{PL}{AE}.........2

Substituting values results in

Change in length = \frac{1154.7 \times 6 \times 12}{\frac{\pi }{4}\times 0.2^2 \times 29000 \times 1000}

Change in length = 0.0913 in

Daniel [329]

Answer:

Refer to the attached document

1512 ft

Explanation:

Because the acceleration is constant or zero, the acceleration-time graph consists of horizontal segments. The values for t2 and a4 are derived as follows:

Acceleration - Time

0 < t < 6: Velocity change = area beneath the a–t graph

V_6 - 0 =  (6 s)(4 ft/s²) = 24 ft/s

6 < t < t2: The velocity rises from 24 to 48 ft/s,

Velocity change = area beneath the a–t graph

48 - 24 = (t2 - 6) * 6

t2 = 10 s

t2 < t < 34: The velocity remains constant, meaning acceleration is zero.

34 < t < 40: Velocity change = area beneath the a–t graph

0 - 42 = 6*a4

a4 = - 8 ft / s²

A negative acceleration shows the area lies below the t-axis, indicating a decrease in speed.

Velocity - Time

Since acceleration remains constant or zero, the v−t graph is made up of linear segments connecting the calculated points.

Position change = area beneath the v−t graph

0 < t < 6:  x6 - 0 = 0.5*6*24 = 72 ft

6 < t < 10:    x10 - x6 = 0.5*4*(24 + 48) = 144 ft

10 < t < 34: x34 - x10 = 48*24 = 1152 ft

34 < t < 40: x40 - x34 = 0.5*6*48 = 144 ft

Summing these position changes yields the distance from A to B:

d = x40 - 0 = 1512 ft

A hydrogen-filled balloon to be used in high altitude atmosphere studies will eventually be 100 ft in diameter. At 150,000 ft, t
mote1985 [299]

Answer:

The calculated result is 11.7 ft

Explanation:

You can apply the combined gas law, which incorporates Boyle's law, Charles's law, and Gay-Lussac's Law, because hydrogen demonstrates ideal gas behavior under these specific conditions.

\frac{p_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}

where the subscripts indicate "p" for pressure, "V" for volume, and "T" for temperature (in Kelvin) at varying moments. Let's denote t_1 as the balloon at 150,000 ft so

p_1 = 0.14 \ lb/in^2

V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_1^3 = 523598.77 \ ft^3

and T_1 = -67^\circ F = 218.15\ K.

Then t_2 represents the point at which the balloon is on the ground.

p_2 = 14.7 \ lb/in^2 and T_2 = 68^\circ F = 293.15\ K.

Based on the first equation

V_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1 T_2}{T_1 p_2}, we find

V_2 = 6701.07 ft^3 and consequently the radius turns out to be

R_2 = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3 V_2}{4 \pi}} = 11.7 \ ft.
