Chapter 5, Problem 1P
To determine

Summarize the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons for neutral atoms of the following nuclides: 29Si,44Sc,49V,210Bi, and241Pu.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

For nuclide 29Si:

Find the atomic number (Z):

Refer Periodic Table,

The atomic number (Z) (it gives both the number of protons and electrons for the neutral atom) is 14.

Find the number of neutrons (N):

A=N+ZN=AZ

Here, A is total number of nucleons.

Substitute 29 for A and 14 for Z.

N=2914=15

Similarly calculate the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons for the remaining neutral atoms.

Summarize the calculated values of number of neutrons, protons, and electrons as in Table (1).

The figures below shows the framing plan and section of a reinforced concrete floor system. Floor beams are shown as dotted lines. The weight of the ceiling and floor finishing is 6 psf, that of the mechanical and electrical systems is 7 psf, and the weight of the partitions is 180 psf. The floor live load is 105 psf. The 7 in. thick slab exterior bay (S-1) is reinforced with #5 rebars @ 10 in. o.c. as the main positive reinforcement at the mid span, and #4 @ 109 in. for the shrinkage and temperature reinforcement. The panel is simply supported on the exterior edge and monolithic with the beam at the interior edge. Check the adequacy of the slab. Use the ACI moment coefficients. fc’ = 6,000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi. The slab is in an interior location. Hint: • Estimate total dead load. Find factored maximum positive bending moment in the end span. • Find design positive moment capacity. • Compare and determine adequacy, including safety and economy.
Question 6 Two reservoirs have a 6 m difference in water levels and are connected by a pipe 60 cm in diameter and 3000 m long. Then, the pipe branches into two pipes, each 30 cm in diameter and 1500 m long. The friction coefficient is 0.01. Neglecting minor losses, determine the flow rates in the pipe system.
