(Transportation) Road construction requires estimating the expected loads on a road’s pavement over its design life. A common approach for determining this information is to use ESAL values; one ESAL is the load a single 18,000-lb (80,000 N) single-axle truck applies to the road’s surface. The ESAL value for any single-axle vehicle can be approximated by this formula:
ESAL is the equivalent single-axle load.
W is the vehicle’s weight (lbs).
Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++

- (Automotive) a. An automobile engine’s performance can be determined by monitoring its rotations per minute (rpm). Determine the conversion factors that can be used to convert rpm to frequency in hertz (Hz), given that 1rotation=1cycle,1minute=60seconds,and1Hz=1cycle/sec. b. Using the conversion factors you determined in Exercise 7a, convert 2000 rpm into hertz.arrow_forward(Civil eng.) The maximum load that can be placed at the end of a symmetrical wooden beam, such as the rectangular beam shown in Figure 2.20, can be calculated as the following: L=S1dc L is the maximum weight in lbs of the load placed on the beam. S is the stress in lbs/in2. I is the beam’s rectangular moment of inertia in units of in4. d is the distance in inches that the load is placed from the fixed end of the beam (the “moment arm”). c is one-half the height in inches of the symmetrical beam. For a 2” × 4” wooden beam, the rectangular moment of inertia is given by this formula: I=baseheight3=12=24312=10.674 c=(4in)=2in a. Using this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++ program that computes the maximum load in lbs that can be placed at the end of an 8-foot 24 wooden beam so that the stress on the fixed end is 3000lb/in2. b. Use the program developed in Exercise 9a to determine the maximum load in lbs that can be placed at the end of a 3” × 6” wooden beam so that the stress on the fixed end is 3000lb/in2.arrow_forward(Statics) An annulus is a cylindrical rod with a hollow center, as shown in Figure 6.7. Its second moment of inertia is given by this formula: I4(r24r14) I is the second moment of inertia (m4). r2 is the outer radius (m). r1 is the inner radius (m). a. Using this formula, write a function called annulusMoment ( ) that accepts two double-precision numbers as parameters (one for the outer radius and one for the inner radius), calculates the corresponding second moment of inertia, and displays the result. b. Include the function written in Exercise 5a in a working program. Make sure your function is called from main(). Test the function by passing various data to it.arrow_forward

- (Python) Numerous engineering and scientific applications require finding solutions to a set of equations. Ex: 8x + 7y = 38 and 3x - 5y = -1 have a solution x = 3, y = 2. Given integer coefficients of two linear equations with variables x and y, use brute force to find an integer solution for x and y in the range -10 to 10. Ex: If the input is: 8 7 38 3 -5 -1 Then the output is: x = 3 , y = 2 Use this brute force approach: For every value of x from -10 to 10 For every value of y from -10 to 10 Check if the current x and y satisfy both equations. If so, output the solution, and finish. Ex: If no solution is found, output: "There is no solution" You can assume the two equations have no more than one solution.

For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward
- (Mechanical eng.) The minimum radius required for a cylindrical rod, such as one supporting a bicycle pedal (see Figure 2.22), to provide enough support for the pressure exerted by the rider’s foot yet not exceed the stress placed on the crank arm’s sprocket attachment, is given by this formula: r3=dPS r is the radius of the cylindrical rod in inches. d is the length of the crank arm in inches. P is the weight placed on the pedal in lbs. S is the stress in lbs/in2. Using this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++ program that computes the value of r for a crank arm that’s 7 inches long, accommodates a maximum weight of 300 lbs, and is able to sustain a stress of 10,000 lbs/in2.arrow_forwardWhen a tension force of 900 N is applied to a steel wire, it is assumed that E = 210 GPa and that the diameter of the wire increases by 1.05 mm.
