- You are viewing Attempt 1/Continue Work * Incorrect The 123-kg industrial door with mass center at G is being positioned for repair by insertion of the 8° wedge under corner B. Horizontal movement is prevented by the small ledge at corner A. If the coefficients of static friction at both the top and bottom wedge surfaces are 0.65, determine the force P required to lift the door at B. Assume a = 1.4 m, b = 1.2 m, a = 8° A Answer: P = 1144.28 N Barrow_forwardHow can new sustainable materials change dead load calculations in future designs in earthquake-prone areas?arrow_forwardGiven the truss with loading shown.

- Question (1): (18 Marks) Gaza City has a total population of 650,000 inhabitant, where 75% of the population is connected to wastewater collection system. The water consumption per capita is 100 L/day. Currently, the collected flow treated partially by aerated lagoon system. The municipality intend to change the treatment system to a completely mixed activated sludge system to be used for organic matter removal only to fulfill the Palestinian standards for reuse (Soluble BOD 30 mg/l). The given data from the municipality laboratory and assumptions: ⚫ The influent soluble Biological Oxygen demand = 500 mg/l. Biomass yield (Y) = 0.5 mg VSS/mg BOD removed • Endogenous decay rate constant (Ka) = 0.05d¹ • • The concentration of biomass (X) = 3000 mg MLVSS The concentration of recycled biomass (X) = 10000 mg MLVSS/L Growth rate (d) 2.5 1.25 100 For the completely mixed activated sludge system find the following: a) The average flow to the treatment plant. b) The mean cell residence time. c)…arrow_forwardQuestion (3): (20 Marks) You have been assigned to design a secondary wastewater treatment component based on a tricking filter technique.
