The factor of safety for tipping of the concrete dam is defined as the ratio of the stabilizing moment due to the dam's weight divided by the overturning moment about OO due to the water pressure (Figure 1). Suppose that aa = 5 mm , dd = 2 mm , hh = 7 mm . The concrete has a density of ρconcρconc = 2.5 Mg/m3Mg/m3 and for water ρwρw = 1 Mg/m3Mg/m3

They all start working at D at Q (e.g., Q-8am). If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time]. In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person arrived when departing at time t). Assume 0 < a < 1 < ß. Further assume the departure time choice problem under the equilibrium conditions. Prove that the arrival time of people who depart when most of the M people start their trips is equal to Q.arrow_forwardConstruction Methodarrow_forward
