Explain the major differences between designing buildings for earthquake resistance and for wind resistance.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Earthquake's put vibration and seismic load on a building while wind puts a continuous force throughout the whole structure.

Explanation:

The most important difference between the design of a building that's resistent to earthquakes and resistant to high speed winds is that earthquake's put vibration and seismic load on a building while wind puts a continuous force throughout the whole structure.

Earthquake resistent building are equipped with a base that is isolated from the buildings with several layers of different material which absorb the vibration of the seismic waves and prevent them from reaching to the building.

Wind resistent buildings must have strong foundations and a sturdy structure/material that can withstand high pressure that the wind applies during events such as hurricanes.

2) The switch in the circuit below has been closed a long time. At t=0, it is opened.
Find the inductor current for il(t) for t> 0.

Answers

Answer:

  il(t) = e^(-100t)

Explanation:

The current from the source when the switch is closed is the current through an equivalent load of 15 + 50║50 = 15+25 = 40 ohms. That is, it is 80/40 = 2 amperes. That current is split evenly between the two parallel 50-ohm resistors, so the initial inductor current is 2/2 = 1 ampere.

A room is filled with saturated moist air at 25°C and a total pressure of 100 kPa. If the mass of dry air in the room is 100 kg, the mass of water vapor is:_______

a. 0.52 kg
b. 1.97 kg
c. 2.96 kg
d. 2.04 kg
e. 3.17 kg

Answers

Answer:the mass of water vapor is=d. 2.04 kg

Explanation:

The humidity ratio by mass is given as

x = mw / ma                                  (1)

where

mw = mass of water vapor

ma = mass of dry air

And also humidity ratio by pressure by  Ideal Gas Law is given as

x = 0.62198 pw / (pa - pw)                            (2)

where

pw = partial pressure of water vapor in moist air

pa = atmospheric pressure of moist air

Equating both equation we have that

Humidity ratio =  0.62198 pw / (pa - pw)= mw / ma      (3)

From the from the water table at 25°C,

water vapor partial pressure = 23.8 torr

 1 atm =760 torr.

1 atm = 101.325 kPa,

So, 760 torr =101.325 kPa,

Therefore 23.8 torr =3.173kPa

Humidity ratio =  0.62198 pw / (pa - pw)= mw / ma  

0.62198 x 3.173 / (100-3.173)= mw / 100

1.9736 /96.827=mw/100

0.0204=mw/100

mw=2.04kg

A 0.5 m rod of some material elongates 0.1 mm on heating from 20 to 112°C. Determine the value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion [in (°C)-1] for this material.

Answers

Answer:linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod =2.17 x10^-6(°C)^-1

Explanation:

The Linear thermal expansion is calculated as

ΔL = αLΔT,

where ΔL = change in length L,

ΔT = the change in temperature,

α is the coefficient of linear expansion

Change in length ΔL= 0.1 mm =0.1/1000= 0.0001m

change in temperature,ΔT= Final - Initial temperature

= (112- 20)°C=92°C

Solving, we have that

ΔL = αLΔT

α=ΔL/LΔT

= 0.0001 / 0.5 x 92

=0.0001/46

=2.17 x10^-6 / °C

The  linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod, α =2.17 x10^-6(°C)^-1

A flexible rectangular area measures 2.5 m X 5.0 m in plan. It supports an external load of 150 kN/m^2. Determine the vertical stress increase due to the load at a depth of 6.25 m below the corner of the footing.

Answers

Answer:

19.0476 kN/m^2

Explanation:

Given data:

Dimension of rectangular area = 2.5m x 5.0m

external load = 150 KN/m^2

load depth = 6.25 m

calculate the vertical stress increase due to load at depth 6.25

we will use the approximate method which is

[tex]V_{s} = \frac{qBL}{(B +Z)(L+Z)}[/tex]  ------- (1)

q = 150 kN/m^2

B = 2.5 m

L = 5 m

Z = 6.25 m

substitute the given values into the equation (1) above

hence the Vs ( vertical stress ) = 19.0476 kN/m^2

You have a 20 Volt power source attached to a light bulb that you've measured has a resistance of 8 Ohms, what is the power output of this light bulb (in Watts)?

Answers

Answer:

50 Watts

Explanation:

For this problem, we simply apply Ohm's law:

V = IR

V / R = I

P = IV

P = ( V / R ) V

P = ( V^2 / R )

P = (20 V)^2 / 8 Ω

P = 400 V^2 / 8 Ω

P = 50 Watts

Hence, the power consumed by the lightbulb is 50 Watts.

A well is located in a 20.1-m thick confined aquifer with a conductivity of 14.9 m/day and a storativity of 0.0051. If the well is pumped at a constant rate of 500 gpm, what is the drawdown at a distance of 7.0 m from the well after 1 day of pumping?

Answers

Answer:

S = 5.7209 M

Explanation:

Given data:

B = 20.1 m

conductivity ( K ) = 14.9 m/day

Storativity  ( s ) = 0.0051

1 gpm = 5.451 m^3/day

calculate the Transmissibility ( T ) = K * B

                                                       = 14.9 * 20.1 = 299.5  m^2/day

Note :

t = 1

U = ( r^2* S ) / (4*T* t )

  = ( 7^2 * 0.0051 ) / ( 4 * 299.5 * 1 ) = 2.0859 * 10^-4

Applying the thesis method

W(u) = -0.5772 - In(U)

       = 7.9

next we calculate the pumping rate from well ( Q ) in m^3/day

= 500 * 5.451 m^3 /day

= 2725.5 m^3 /day

Finally calculate the drawdown at a distance of 7.0 m form the well after 1 day of pumping

S = [tex]\frac{Q}{4\pi T} * W (u)[/tex]

 where : Q = 2725.5

               T = 299.5

               W(u)  = 7.9

substitute the given values into equation above

S = 5.7209 M

A typical printed page of text contains 50 lines of 80 characters each. Imagine that a certain printer can print 6 pages per minute and that the time to write a character to the printer’s output register is so short it can be ignored. Does it make sense to run this printer using interrupt‐driven I/O if each printer requires an interrupt that takes 50 µsec all‐in to service?

Answers

Solution :

Given

The number of line that can be written by printer per page = 50 lines

The number of characters that can be written by printer per page = 80 characters.

Number of pages that can be written per minute = 6 pages

The speed for writing characters to the printer can be found by

= 50 x 80 x 6

= 400 characters per sec

In one second the printer has the writing speed of 400 character.

Now each of the character uses = 50 µsec of the CPU time for interrupt.

So in each second, the interrupt overhead = 20 msec

Now using the interrupt driven input/output,  980 msec time can be available for other work.

Thus, the interrupt overhead charges only 2 percent of the CPU, that will hardly affect the program to run.

The other line has 0.5 kg/s water entering at 200 kPa and 20 °C, and leaving at 200 kPa. Calculate the exit temperature of the water and the total rate of entropy generation?

Answers

Answer:

120°C

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

T_{wi} = 20^{\circ}C

T_{Ai}=1000K

T_{Ae}= 400kPa

P_{Wi}=200kPa

P_{Ai}=125kPa

P_{We}=200kPa

P_{Ae}=100kPa

m_A=2kg/s

m_W=0.5kg/s

We know that the energy equation is

[tex]m_Ah_{Ai}+m_Wh_W=m_Ah_{Ae}+m_Wh_{We}[/tex]

making [tex]h_{We}[/tex] the subject of formula we have

[tex]h_{We}=h_{Wi}+\frac{m_A}{mW}(h_A-h_{Ae})[/tex]

from the saturated water table B.1.1 , corresponding to  [tex]T_{wi}= 20c[/tex]

[tex]h_{Wi}=83.94kJ/kg[/tex]

from the ideal gas properties of air table B.7.1 , corresponding to T=1000K

the enthalpy is:

[tex]h_{Ai}=1046.22kJ/kg[/tex]

from the ideal gas properties of air table B.7.1 corresponding to T=400K

[tex]h_{Ae}=401.30kJ/kg[/tex]

Step two:

substituting into the equation we have

[tex]h_{We}=h_{Wi}+\frac{m_A}{mW}(h_A-h_{Ae})[/tex]

[tex]h_{We}=83.94+\frac{2}{0.5}(2046.22-401.30)\\\\h_{We}=2663.62kJ/kg[/tex]

from saturated water table B.1.2 at [tex]P_{We}=200kPa[/tex]  we can obtain the specific enthalpy:

[tex]h_g=2706.63kJ/kg[/tex]

we can see that [tex]h_g>h_{Wi}[/tex], hence there are two phases

from saturated water table B.1.2 at [tex]P_{We}=200kPa[/tex]

[tex]T_{We}=120 ^{\circ} C[/tex]

An aluminum rod is press fitted onto an aluminum collar. The collar has an inner radius of 1 cm and an outer radius of 2 cm. Given the rod has a diameter of 2.01cm and the young's modulus of aluminum is 69 GPa

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is --

An aluminum rod is press fitted onto an aluminum collar. The collar has an inner radius of 1 cm and an outer radius of 2 cm. Given the rod has a diameter of 1.01 cm and the young's modulus of aluminum is 69 GPa, determine the following :

1. the interference value, i

2. the radial pressure at the interference of the collar and the rod

3. the maximum effective stress in the collar

4. if the yield strength of aluminium is 200 MPa and assume a safety factor of 1.5, will the aluminium collar break

Solution:

Given :

Inner radius of the collar = 1 cm

So, inner diameter, [tex]$d_1$[/tex] = 2 cm

Outer radius of the collar = 12 cm

So, outer diameter, [tex]$d_2$[/tex] = 4 cm

The aluminium rod diameter, d = 1.01 cm

Now, from the figure, we can see that there will be no interference and so the rod will easily insert inside the collar.

1. So, the interference , i =0

2. The radial pressure is also 0.

3. There will be no stress developed. So the maximum effective stress is 0

4. The collar will not break

What is the static head of a water supply system if the water tower holds water at and elevation of 462 feet and the site that uses the water is at an elevation of 294 feet?
Answer value

Answers

Answer:

20.87 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for dynamic pressure is given as;

q= 1/2*ρ*v²

where ;

q=dynamic pressure

ρ = density of fluid

v = velocity of fluid

First find v by applying the formula for flow rate as;

Q = v*A   where ;

Q= fluid flow rate

v = flow velocity

A= cross-sectional area.

A= cross-sectional vector area of the pipe given by the formula;

A= πr² = 3.14 * 4² = 50.27 in²   where r=radius of pipe obtained from the diameter given divided by 2.

Q = fluid flow rate = 105 gpm----change to m³/s as

1 gpm = 0.00006309

105 gpm = 105 * 0.00006309 = 0.006624 m³/s

A= cross-sectional vector area = 50.27 in² -------change to m² as:

1 in² = 0.0006452 m²

50.27 in² = 50.27 * 0.0006452 = 0.03243 m²

Now calculate flow velocity as;

Q =v * A

Q/A = v

0.006624 m³/s / 0.03243 m² =v

0.2043 m/s = v

Now find the dynamic pressure q given as;

q= 1/2 * ρ*v²

q= 1/2 * 1000 * 0.2043² = 20.87 Pa
