The crane hoists a uniformly distributed load C. the two identical motors at A an power through gearboxes operating at maximum output speed of 100 rpm.the load is lifted by winding cable onto spindl
The siphon crown is 1.2m above the water surface elevation of the reservoir and a length 10m away from the siphon entrance. If the siphon diameter is 30 cm, if the friction factor is .02, and the he
A lake has a water level which is used to determine if watering restrictions need to be implemented for the neighboring city. Water levels are measured on a weekly basis, and restrictions are placed
When a pesticide comes into contact with skin, a certain percentage of it is absorbed. The percentage of the pesticide that will be absorbed during a given tie period can be modeled with a lognormal
A 25-mm diamenter shaft is pulled through a cylindrical bearing. The lubricant that fills the 0.3-mm gap between the shaft and bearing is an oil having a kinematic velocity of 8.0x10^-4 m^2/s and a
A turbine expands to a pressure of 10 kPa and a quality of 0.94. Determine the temperature T and the specific volume at this state.
Repeat LEM(Limit Equilibrium Method) analysis in clay (undrained) using a circular failure surface, with the center of the circle a distance h above the edge of the footing. What ratio of h/B gives
Water enters the lock of a ship canal through 180 ports, each port having a 2 ft by 2 ft cross section. The lock is 900 ft long and 105 ft wide. The lock is designed so that the water surface in it
The flow is assumed to be laminar and the film thickness, H, constant. Using a coordinate system located on the plate at the surface of the pool, complete the following: a. Dram and sketch the syste
A 2.0m-wide strip at a depth of 1 m in a stiff clay carries a wall load of 425 kN/m. The saturated unit weight of the caly is 20kN/m^3. TRiaixal tests give the following results: c'=10 kPa, phi'=28

If the force exerted on cable AB by the motor is F =(100^3/2) N, where t is in seconds, determine the 50-kg crates velocity when t = 5s. The coefficents of static and kinetic friction between the cr
Assume that there is only one phase present and that the formation is homogeneous, but anisotropic. Further, assume that viscosity, formation volume factor, and the areas available for flow are cons
An oil storage area abandoned 19 yrs ago had oil spilled on the ground and saturated the soil at a concentration of 400mg/kg of soil. A recent soil sample shows a concentration of 20mg/kg.
