c) Estimate the activity duration if the contractor decides to excavate the layer by drilling and blasting. The site is 200 ft by 400 ft and must be excavated to an average depth of 14 ft. Trial blasting indicates that 3 in holes drilled in a 10 ft rectangular pattern will provide the desired fracturing. A hole depth of 16 ft must be drilled to yield a 14 ft effective depth. The average drilling and blasting rate is estimated to be 200 ft/hr.

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise

Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i. d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.

Derive the correction factor formula for conical nozzle i=-(1+ cosa) and calculate the nozzle angle correction factor for a nozzle whose divergence hal-fangle is 13 (hint: assume that all the mass flow originates at the apex of the cone.
