A surveyor used a standardized 100 m tape. The steel tape was found to be 1.74mm shorter than the standard length at an observed temperature of 18.5°C and standard pull of 50 N. The same tape was also used to measure a certain route and recorded 2376.82m. During measurement, the observed temperature is 27°C and with an applied pull of 50N. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the tape is 0.0000116/°C, determine the standard temperature and the true length of the measured distance.

There are two mercury barometers at the mountain. At the top reads 500 mm and at the base reads 650 mm. Determine the height of the mountain in meter. Note: the specific weight of air is in 12 N/m^3 and the specific gravity of mercury is 13.6
A Civil Engineer used a 50m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 459.20 m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25 m. The 50 m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 10°C and a pull of 50 N. During measurement the temperature reading was 8°C and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 70 N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 6 mm2 and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a mass of 0.075 kg/m.

A vibration test was conducted on the model of a tank. A cable attached to the tank induced a force of 16.4 N vertically and pulls the tank by 2 mm. The cable is then cut at that instant and the resulting free vibration is recorded. At the end of four complete cycles, the time elapsed is 2 seconds and the amplitude is 0.5 mm. Based on the above data, compute the damping ratio, natural period of vibration (undamped), stiffness, weight of the system, damping coefficient and number of cycles required th for the displacement amplitude to decrease to the amplitude after 20 cycles. of the initial amplitude and

When a fluid flows over a surface, the shear stress T (N/m) ) at the surface is given by the expression du dy surface where u is the viscosity (N-s/m ), u is the velocity parallel to the surface (m/s), and y is the distance normal to the surface (cm). Measurements of the velocity of an air stream flowing above a surface are made with an LDV (laser-Doppler-Velocimeter). The values given below were obtained. y y и 0.0 0.00 2.0 88.89 1.0 55.56 3.0 100.00 At the local temperature, u = 0.00024 N-s/m. In four decimal places, calculate du/dy at the surface using all the points. Answer =
Lacking on mercury, an improvised barometer uses a liquid that weighs 0.735 times that of mercury. Assuming that the unit weight of air is constant 12 N/m^3, evaluate the approximate height of the mountain if the barometer readings are 600mm at the base and 850mm at the top of the mountain. specific gravity= 13.6
