Explanation Given information: The flow is uniform and hydrostatic. The height of the water level at section (1) is 0.45 ft , the velocity at section (1) is 16 ft/s and the height of spillway is 2.2 ft , The losses are neglected. The Figure-(1) shown below defines the section (1) and section (2) in the given system. Figure-(1) Write the expression for the continuity equation between the section (1) and section (2) of the given system. A 1 V 1 = A 2 V 2 .... (I) Here, the area at section (1) is A 1 , the area at section (2) is A 2 , the velocity at section (1) is V 1 , and the Velocity at section (1) is V 2 . Write the expression for the area at section (1) for unit width. A 1 = h 1 Here, the area at section (1) is A 1 , The height at section (1) is h 1 . Write the expression for the area at section (2) for unit width. A 2 = h 2 Here, the area at section (2) is A 2 , The height at section (2) is h 2 . Substitute h 1 for A 1 and h 2 for A 2 in Equation (I). V 1 h 1 = V 2 h 2 V 2 = V 1 × h 1 h 2 …… (II) Write the expression for the Bernoulli’s equation between the section (1) and section (2) of the given system. p 1 ρ g + V 1 2 2 g + z 1 = p 2 ρ g + V 2 2 2 g + z 2 p 1 − p 2 ρ g + V 1 2 2 g − V 2 2 2 g + z 1 − z 2 = 0 …… (III) Here, the pressure at section (1) is p 1 , the velocity at section (1) is V 1 , the height of the section (1) from the datum is z 1 , the pressure at section (2) is p 2 , the velocity at section (2) is V 2 , the height of the section (2) from the datum is z 2 , the density of water is ρ , and the acceleration due to gravity is g . Since the pressure at the section (1) and section (2) is atmospheric, so the difference between the pressures is zero. p 1 − p 2 = 0 Substitute 0 for p 1 − p 2 in Equation (I). 0 ρ g + V 1 2 2 g − V 2 2 2 g + z 1 − z 2 = 0 V 1 2 2 g − V 2 2 2 g + z 1 − z 2 = 0 …… (IV) Substitute V 1 × h 1 h 2 for V 2 in Equation (III).

Recall that the CWH equation involves two important assumptions. Let us investigate how these assumptions affect the accuracy of state trajectories under the control inputs optimized in (a) and (b). (c.1): Discuss the assumptions about the chief and deputy orbits that are necessary for deriving CWH.

PROBLEM 2.50 1.8 m The concrete post (E-25 GPa and a = 9.9 x 10°/°C) is reinforced with six steel bars, each of 22-mm diameter (E, = 200 GPa and a, = 11.7 x 10°/°C). Determine the normal stresses induced in the steel and in the concrete by a temperature rise of 35°C. 6c " 0.391 MPa 240 mm 240 mm 6₁ = -9.47 MPa

For some viscoelastic polymers that are subjected to stress relaxation tests, the stress decays with time according to a(t) = a(0) exp(-4) (15.10) where σ(t) and o(0) represent the time-dependent and initial (i.e., time = 0) stresses, respectively, and t and T denote elapsed time and the relaxation time, respectively; T is a time-independent constant characteristic of the material. A specimen of a viscoelastic polymer whose stress relaxation obeys Equation 15.10 was suddenly pulled in tension to a measured strain of 0.5; the stress necessary to maintain this constant strain was measured as a function of time. Determine E (10) for this material if the initial stress level was 3.5 MPa (500 psi), which dropped to 0.5 MPa (70 psi) after 30 s.
