Question
Chapter 4, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The purpose of the adjustment screw found on the face of analog meters.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The purpose of the adjustment screw found on the face of analog meters is adjustment of needle in order to obtain an accurate reading.
Explanation of Solution
While using an analog meter, it should be ensured that the indicating needle is pointing towards zero before taking measurement in the meter. For this adjustment of the needle, a screw is provided on the face of the analog meter. The role of screw is very important to get an accurate reading as even a slight turn will cause the movement of the needle.

One lane of the three lanes on a section of this freeway will have to be closed to undertake an emergency bridge repair that is expected to take 2 hours. It is estimated that the capacity at the work zone will be reduced by 30 percent of that of the section just upstream of the work zone. The mean free flow speed of the highway is 70 mi/h and the jam density is 150 veh/mi/In. If it is estimated that the demand flow on the highway during the emergency repairs is 85 percent of the capacity, using the deterministic approach, determine the following.
