Optimization problem: An open top container of length L, width W and height H is used to transport ore. The cost for the surface area is $ 100/m2; cost of weld is $ 10/m; 400 m³ of ore is to be transported in no more than 50 trips; the length is not to exceed 3 m and width not to exceed 2 m. Formulate the optimization problem to solve for the maximum volume of the container.

Question: Each of the four silos seen in the figure has an empty weight of 30MN, and can hold up to 105 MN of grain. The weight of the mat is 55 MN. Since each silo is filled independently, the resultant load imposed on the mat does not necessarily act through the centroid. Evaluate the various loading conditions and determine whether centrally loaded, one-way eccentric loaded, and two-way eccentric loading requirements will be met. If these requirements are not met, determine the minimum mat width, B, needed to satisfy these requirements. Allowable bearing capacity is given as qa=265kPa). 50m 12,5m Plan 50m 12,5m Profile Mat foundation

In a truck and shovel operation, the time for a truck to position itself at the shovel and be loaded are 0.50 minute and 3 minutes respectively. It then takes the truck 10 minutes to haul the ore, dump it at the coarse ore bin, and return to the shovel. How many trucks do you need to keep the shovel busy with a little waiting time for the trucks?

The steel grating 0.80 meter. x o.80 meters placed on top of the concrete catch basin is composed of a 10mm square bar spaced at 100mm on centers with an angular steel frame 20mm x 20mm x 6mm along the perimeter. Find the total requirement of the steel bar in kilograms and how much it will cost if 1.0 kilogram of steel amounts to PhP 45/kg. ? NOTE: Use density of steel = 7,860 kg per cubic meter.
سؤال ثانی/ A rectangular storage tank with an open top is to have volume (20 m). The length of the base is twice the width, see the figure. The Material of the base costs (20 $) per square meter. The material of the sides costs (10 S) per square meter. Use Lagrange multiplier method to find the optimum dimensions of a tank that give the minimum cost. 2w Ans./ 1= 3.914 w = 1.957 h = 2.61
For the beam shown, the magnitude of the concentrated load is P = 28 kN, the magnitude of the couple is Mg = 200 kN-m, and the beam lengths are a = 4.8 m and b= 14.4 m. (a) derive equations for the shear force V and the bending moment M for any location in the beam. Place the origin at point. A. (b) use the derived functions to plot the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam. Use your diagrams to determine the magnitudes of the maximum shear force and the maximum bending moment. Note that answers may be positive or negative. Here, "maximum" refers to the largest magnitude value, but you should enter your shear force and bending moment with the correct sign, using the sign convention presented in Section 7.2 of the textbook. If the magnitudes of the largest positive and largest negative values are the same, enter a positive number. P a MB B b C X
