Chapter 2, Problem 2.15P

Repeat Problem 2.14 with the following values: Gs = 2.75, temperature of water = 21°C, t = 88 min, and L = 11.7 cm.

2.14 A hydrometer test has the following result: Gs = 2.65, temperature of water = 26° C, and L = 10.4 cm at 45 minutes after the start of sedimentation (see Figure 2.25). What is the diameter D of the smallest-size particles that have settled beyond the zone of measurement at that time (that is, t = 45 min)?

Chapter 2, Problem 2.15P, Repeat Problem 2.14 with the following values: Gs = 2.75, temperature of water = 21C, t = 88 min,

Someone wants to study environmental engineering in a European country for 8 years and wants to deposit an amount of money in one of the approved banks for the purpose of paying his annual study expenses, where it is planned that he will withdraw $2000 annually after one year from the date of deposit for a period of five consecutive years, and then withdraw $3000 annually for the remaining period of his studies. Calculate the amount required to be deposited for the purpose of covering the study expenses if you know that the interest rate is 8.5%
Design a typical girder for the floor system shown in the figure below. In addition to the weight of the beam, the dead load consists of a 5-inch-thick reinforced concrete slab (normal-weight concrete). The live load is 85 psf, and there is a 20-psf partition load. Do not check deflections. Assume that the girder is supporting beams on each side, and assume that the beams weigh 35 lb / ft. Let all the loads on the girder act as a uniform load (be sure to include the weight of the beams). 30' A -4 @ 5' = 20' Use the table below. - Mn (ft-kips) Mn/ (ft-kips) | Vn (kips) Vn/v (kips) Shape W21 × 48 398 265 216 144 W12 × 58 324 216 132 87.8 W16 × 45 309 205 167 111 W18 × 40 294 196 169 113 a.

Water in a tank is used to control the water pressure in a pipe as shown in Figure P5 below. Find the pressure in the pipe at A if h = 200 mm and the mercury is at the elevation shown (between points B and C). Assume standard atmospheric pressure and neglect the diameter of the pipe. Express your answer in kPa.
