Chapter 11, Problem 1P
To determine
The reason why the transportation planning process is not intended to furnish a decision or give a single result.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The transportation planning process involves the problem definition, and elements of the situation, search for solutions, performance analysis, evaluation, and choice of project.
The transportation planning process is not a complete process; rather it is a rational process or only an analysis phase that is intended to furnish impartial information about the effects related to the transportation projects and impacts and mitigation of the project on the community and environment. This process is used to describe the effects related to the transportation project and explain the benefits to the traveler of a new transportation system and its impacts on the community. It does not involve a complete analysis. This process does not provide the single result or is not intended to furnish a decision that must be necessary, but it gives all the relevant information to the community and the political bodies responsible for the transportation project.
Conclusion:
Therefore, this process is used to describe the effects related to the transportation project and explain the benefits to the traveler of a new transportation system and its impacts on the community. It does not involve a complete analysis.

5. Two 400 g blocks are connected by a rigid rod. The Blocks can rotate freely at the ends
of the rod, so the rod does not apply any moments to the blocks. The blocks are in
contact with the wall and floor, and can slide without friction. The system is released
from rest when X=24cm and Y=18cm. Ignore the mass of the rod. What are the initial
accelerations of Block A and Block B just after being released?
Hint: See Assignment 4, Problem 2 for help getting a relationship between the
acceleration of Block A and the acceleration of Block B.

Average sludge production reported by members of the National Association
of Clean Water Agencies is 0.7 tons of sludge TS per MG wastewater
treated.
Assume that the organic matter (VS) in the sludge contains 10% N and that
the ratio of VS/TS in sludge is 0.85.
A) How many mg/L of N are removed from the wastewater due to
assimilation?
B) If the raw wastewater contained 50 mg/L total N, what percent was
removed via assimilation?
C) Why is this a disappointing result in terms of nutrient recovery and reuse
goals?
