In studying of traffic flow at a highway toll booth over the course of 60 minutes, it is determined that the arrival and departure rates are deterministic, but not uniform. The arrival rate is found to vary according to the function A(t) = 1.8 + 0.25t - 0.0030t^2. The departure rate function is D(t) = 1.4 + 0.11t. In both of these functions, t is in minutes after the beginning of the observation and A(t) and D(t) are in vehicles per minute. At what time does the maximum queue length occur?
a. 2.7 min
b. 9.4 min
c. 49.4 min

The volume of a zirconium unit cell, using a theoretical density of 6.52 g/cm³ and an atomic weight of 91.22 g/mol, can be found to be approximately 2.3 x 10-29 m³.

To calculate the volume of the zirconium unit cell, we need to know the atomic weight, density, and Avogadro's number. Assuming a theoretical density of 6.52 g/cm³, an atomic weight of 91.22 g/mol, and using Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol), we can use the formula: volume = atomic weight / (density * Avogadro's number).

First, convert the density from g/cm³ to kg/m³, 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³. So, 6.52 g/cm³ = 6520 kg/m³. Then substitute these values into the formula: volume = 91.22 g/mol / (6520 kg/ m³ * 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol) = approximately 2.3 x 10-29 m³.

Answer:

1. the bulb of the thermometer must be in the center of the lower calorimeter, about one inch from the bottom.

2.thermometer must face you to read

Explanation:

During an actual run with the calorimeter, there are two important criteria which must be satisfied by a correctly positioned thermometer. These two criteria include;

1. the bulb of the thermometer must be in the center of the lower calorimeter, about one inch from the bottom.

2. thermometer must face you to read

The thermometer must be fully immersed without touching the calorimeter’s sides or bottom and positioned to minimize heat exchange with the external environment to ensure accurate temperature readings.

When using a calorimeter, it is crucial to ensure that the thermometer is correctly positioned to obtain accurate measurements. The two important criteria for correctly positioning the thermometer in a calorimeter are:

1. Thermal Equilibrium:

  - The thermometer must be fully immersed in the substance being measured (typically a liquid) without touching the sides or the bottom of the calorimeter. This ensures that the thermometer accurately reflects the temperature of the substance rather than the container.

  - The immersion should be deep enough so that the thermometer's bulb is surrounded by the substance, allowing it to reach thermal equilibrium with the substance. This helps in obtaining a consistent and accurate temperature reading.

2. Minimize Heat Exchange with the Environment:

  - The thermometer should be positioned in a way that minimizes heat exchange with the external environment. The calorimeter is designed to be an insulated system, so the thermometer should not introduce significant thermal disturbance.

  - The top of the calorimeter should be closed or covered as much as possible to prevent heat loss or gain from the surroundings, which could affect the temperature reading. The thermometer should pass through a small hole or a sealed opening to maintain the insulation integrity of the calorimeter.

By adhering to these criteria, the thermometer can provide precise and reliable temperature measurements, which are essential for accurate calorimetric calculations.

Answer:

Apparent Specific Gravity = 2.88

bulk specific gravity = 2.76

Bulk Specific Gravity SSD  = 2.80

absorption = 1.44%

bulk volume  = 373.3

Explanation:

given data

oven dry weight A  = 1034.0 g

moisture content = 4.0 %

saturated surface dry weight B = 1048.9 g

weight of the aggregate in water C = 675.6 g

solution

we get here Apparent Specific Gravity that is express as

Apparent Specific Gravity = [tex]\frac{A}{A-C}[/tex]   ..........1

put here value

Apparent Specific Gravity = [tex]\frac{1034}{1034-675.6}[/tex]

Apparent Specific Gravity = 2.88

and

now we get bulk specific gravity that is

bulk specific gravity = [tex]\frac{A}{B-C}[/tex]   ...................2

put here value

bulk specific gravity = [tex]\frac{1034}{1048.9-675.6}[/tex]

bulk specific gravity = 2.76

and

now we get Bulk Specific Gravity SSD

Bulk Specific Gravity SSD = [tex]\frac{B}{B-C}[/tex]    ............3

Bulk Specific Gravity SSD = [tex]\frac{1048.9}{1048.9-675.6}[/tex]

Bulk Specific Gravity SSD  = 2.80

and

now absorption will be here as

absorption = [tex]\frac{B-A}{A}[/tex] × 100%    ................4

absorption = [tex]\frac{1048.9-1034}{1034}[/tex] × 100%

absorption = 1.44%

and

last we get bulk volume that is

bulk volume = [tex]\frac{weight\ displce\ water}{density\ water }[/tex]

bulk volume = [tex]\frac{1048.9-675.6}{1}[/tex]

bulk volume  = 373.3

Answer:

d) II and IV . See explanation below.

Explanation:

Assuming the following list of inputs:

I. The discount percentage

II. The total value of the purchase

III. The loyalty-discount amount

IV. The customer ID card number

V. The amount payable after discount  

Possible options for the answer:

a) I, II, and III

b) I and III

c) II, IV, and V

d) II and IV  

For this case we want to calculate the amount payable by the customer after the discounts.

And for this case is always necessary the value of the purchase so option II is true. The percent of discount is given so then option I is not true since we know this value.

The option III is not required since the discount is based on the info and if the customer have ID card so then this value is not necessary.

For option IV is necessary know the ID card in order to identify if the person have a permanent or non permanent card in order to apply discounts, this information is useful

And for the last option V that's not an input, since represent the output desired.

So then the correct options are II and IV

d) II and IV  

Answer:

Answer is explained below

Explanation:

Part A -:

Error statement -:

/*

prog.cpp: In function ‘void p(const int*, int)’:

prog.cpp:7:15: error: assignment of read-only location ‘* list’

list[0] = 100;

*/

There is one error in the code in following part

void p( const int list[], int arraySize)

{

list[0] = 100;

}

you are passing list as constant but changing it inside the function that is not allowed. if you pass any argument as const then you can't change it inside the function. so remove const from function argument solve the error.

Part B -:

change made

void p( int list[], int arraySize)

{

list[0] = 100;

}

Executable fully commented code -:

#include <iostream> // importing the iostream library

using namespace std;

void m(int, int []); // Function declearation of m

void p( int list[], int arraySize) // definition of Function p

{

list[0] = 100; // making value of first element of list as 100

}

int main()

{

int x = 1; // initilizing x with 1

int y[10]; // y is a array of 10 elements

y[0] = 1; // first element of y array is 1

m(x, y); // call m function

// printing the desired result

cout << "x is " << x << endl;

cout << "y[0] is " << y[0] << endl;

return 0;

}

void m(int number, int numbers[]) // Function definition of m

{

number = 1001; // value of number is 1001 locally

numbers[0] = 5555; // making value of first element of numbers array 5555

}

Part C :-

In program we initilize x with value 1 and create an array y of 10 elements.

we initilize the y[0] with 1\

then we call function m. In function m ,first argument is value of x and second argument is the pointer to the first element of array y.

so value of x is changed locally in function m and change is not reflected in main function.

but value of y[0] is changed to 5555 because of pass by refrence.

So we are getting the following result :-

x is 1

y[0] is 5555

The level of service of a highway is determined by the volume-to-capacity ratio. Using the provided traffic information, we can calculate the highway's capacity and determine its level of service, which ranges from A to F.

The level of service of a highway is determined by the volume-to-capacity ratio (V/C ratio).

Given peak-hour directional traffic flow, vehicle types, peak-hour factor, and free-flow speed, we can calculate the capacity of the highway and determine the level of service.

In this case, we would need to calculate the volume of traffic compared to the highway's capacity to determine the level of service, which can range from A to F.

Answer:

41.87 grams of water content must be added to each 500 grams of Boston Blue Clay (in its natural state) in order to increase the water content to 21.2%

Explanation:

The natural water content in Boston Clay is 14.6%. Thus, in 500 grams of Boston clay, the amount of water, naturally present will be:

Natural Water Content = 14.6% of 500 grams

Natural Water Content = 0.146 x 500 grams

Natural Water Content = 73 grams

Thus, the amount of dry clay will be:

Dry Clay = 500 grams - 73 grams

Dry Clay = 427 grams

Now, the required water content is 21.2%, and thus, the remaining 78.8% will be the dry clay. The mass of dry clay is calculated to be 427 grams.

If, we let 'X' be the total mass of clay and water content after the water content is increased to 21.2%. Then;

427 grams = 78.8% of X

427 grams = (0.788)X

X = 427 grams/0.788

X = 541.87 grams

Now, the mass of water content added will be equal to the difference between the total mass of clay before addition of water content and total mass of clay after addition of water content.

Water content added = X - 500 grams

Water Content Added = 541.87 grams - 500 grams

Water Content Added = 41.87 grams

Explanation:

The question is basically asking you to build a 2-bit asynchronous counter.

What the counter does is it increase it's value by 01₂ every clock pulse. So at 0₂, nothing happens, but at 1₂ it'll count up by 1. It then reset to 00₂ when it overflows.

The design for it is pretty much universal so I kinda did this from memory.

a.) A count-up counter (from 00-11) is simply made by connecting Q' to D, and the output of the previous DFF to the clock of the next one.

b.) A count-down counter (from 11-00) is simply made by using the same circuit as the count-up counter, but you connect Q' to the clock instead of Q.

[tex]Power = \frac{ energy}{time}[/tex]

plugging all value and solve for time

[tex]time = \frac{energy}{power}[/tex]

[tex]time = \frac{9400}{0.5}[/tex]

time = 18,800 sec

1 hour = 3600 sec

therefore in 18,800 sec

[tex]time = \frac{18800}{3600} = 5.22 hr[/tex]

Answer:

a) Etath = 48.2 %

b) P2 = 1.195 MPa

c) wnet = 1749.14 KJ/kg

Explanation:

Given:

T1 = T2 = 50 , TL = 50 + 273 = 323 K

T3 = T4 = 350 , TH = 350 + 273 = 623 K

x3 =0.891

x4 = 0.1

Part a

Thermal efficiency (Etath) of carnot cycle is:

Etath = 1 - (TL / TH )

Etath = 1 - (323) / (623) = 48.2 %

Part b

Note:

From A - 4 Table

T1 = 50 C @sat

sf = 0.7038 KJ/kg.K

sfg = 7.3710 KJ/Kg.K

s2 = s3 = sf + x3 * (sfg)

s2 = s3 = 0.7038 + 0.891*7.3710 = 7.271361 KJ/kg.K

Thus,

@ T2 = 350 C  ; sg = 5.2114 KJ/kg.K

s2 = 7.271361 KJ/kg.K

s2 > sg@T = 350 C, hence super-heated region.

Use Table A-6

T2 = 350 C

s2 = 7.271361 KJ/kg.K

P2 = 1.195 MPa (using interpolation)

part c

wnet can be calculated by finding the enclosed area on a T-s diagram:

s4= sf + x4*sfg =  0.7038 + 0.1*7.3710 = 1.4409 KJ/kg.K

wnet = (TH - TL)*(s3 - s4)

wnet = (623 - 223) * (7.271361 - 1.4409) = 1749.14 KJ/kg

Answer:

B. $5.18

Explanation:

Cost of electricity per kWh = $0.09

Power consumption of refrigerator = 320W = 320/1000 = 0.32kW

In a month (30 days) the refrigerator works 1/4 × 30 days = 7.5 days = 7.5 × 24 hours = 180 hours

Energy consumed in 180 hours = 0.32kW × 180h = 57.6kWh

Cost of electricity of 57.6kWh energy consumed by the refrigerator = 57.6 × $0.09 = $5.18

The electricity cost of the refrigerator per month is approximately $0.65. The correct answer is none of the given options.

To calculate the electricity cost of the refrigerator per month, we first need to find out how many kWh it consumes when it is running for one hour. We can do this by converting the power consumption of the refrigerator from watts to kilowatts:

320 W = 0.32 kW

Since the refrigerator runs only one quarter of the time, we can calculate the kWh consumed per month as follows:

0.32 kW * 1/4 * 24 hours/day * 30 days/month = 7.2 kWh/month

Now, we can calculate the cost of electricity using the unit cost of $0.09/kWh:

7.2 kWh/month * $0.09/kWh = $0.648/month

Therefore, the electricity cost of the refrigerator per month is approximately $0.65.

2- The coordinates of that plane are written as: π:(1/a₀ 1/b₀ 1/c₀) (if one of the coordinates is 0, for example (1 1 0), c₀ is ∞, therefore that plane never cross the direction c).

3- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ at the plane that crosses this main directions and point them in the cubic cell.

4- Join the points.

To draw a direction in a simple cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ in the cubic cell.

2- Draw the direction as a vector-like (a₀ b₀ c₀).

Answer:

15.99 ft/s

Explanation:

From Newton's equation of motion, we have

v = u + at

v = Final speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

now

for the points A and C

v = 17.6 ft/s

u = 13.2 ft/s

t = 3 s

thus,

17.6 = 13.2 + a(3)

or

3a = 17.6 - 13.2

3a = 4.4

or

a = 1.467 m/s²

Thus,

For Points A and B

v = speed at B i.e v'

u = 13.2 ft/s

a = 1.467 ft/s²

t = 1.90 s

therefore,

v' = 13.2 + (1.467 × 1.90 )

v' = 13.2  + 2.7867

v' = 15.9867 ≈ 15.99 ft/s

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa in a condenser that is being cooled by river water that is entering at 20 °C because this temperature (20 °C) of the external cooling water is less than the saturation temperature of steam which is which is 45.81 °C, and heated by a boiler; as a result of this condition, coupled with the assumption that the turbine, pump, and interconnecting tube are adiabatic, and the condenser exchanges its heat with the external cooling river water, it possible to maintain a pressure of 10 kPa.
