The truck drives on a horizontal road with a constant velocity. It eventually halted by a set of crash barrels. The number of barrels and sand within the barrels are arranged in such a way to decelerate the truck at a constant rate. Four test runs are performed where the velocity and mass of the truck are varied. In each of the following situations, the barrels stop the truck in the same amount of time. Which has the a. least, b.greatest.
A 25 km long, 8.001 km wide, 2-lane highway is to be paved with 6.00cm thick layer of asphalt.A fleet of 4 dump trucks are to be employed each with an empty mass of 22metric tons and a carrying capacity of 26 cubic metres. Asphalt with a density of 2.322g/m^3 will be used. Determine a) The number of dump truck loads required b) If it takes 4 hours for each truck to deliver a load, how long in day and hours will it take the trucks to deliver all the asphalt? C) The gross mass of each truck.

A certain column will carry a dead load estimated to be 400 k with a COV of 0.1 and a live loadof 200 k with a COV of 0.25. What is the mean and standard deviation of the total column load?Assuming the load is normally distributed, what is the probability that this load will exceed 750 k?
In a road construction, the lenght of economic haul was determine to be at station 100+111 whose area is17.01 square meters and station 100+428 whose area is 23.99 square meters. If the lenght of the free haul distance is 50m, determine the volume of the overhaul in cubic meters. Please take note that the distance from the balance station to both of the two stations are equal. Numerical answer only no units necessary.
