belt conveyor is required to deliver crushed limestone having a bulk density of 75 lb/cu ft at the rate of 200 tons/hr. The conveyor is to be 200 ft between center of pulleys with a rise of 25 ft. The largest lumps are 4 in. and constitute 15% of the total. The conveyor will discharge over the end. For a belt speed of 200 fpm, what is the minimum width of belt that can be used? Calculate the horse

A barge is 16m long by 7m wide by 120cm deep, outside dimensions. The sides and bottom of the barge are made of timber having thickness of 30cm. The timber weighs 7860 N/m³. If there is to be a freeboard of 20cm in fresh water, how many cubic meters of sand weighing 15700 N/m³ may be loaded uniformly into the barge?
A 2000-lb wheel load is to be supported by aggregate over soil that can withstand a pressure of 1000 lb/sq ft. What depth of aggregate is needed if θ = 40°? why would you use cos0 and why would you square 2 instead of 2000?
If the free haul area is between 4+30 and 14+30, what is the average haul distance (ft) for the net volume of material taken from the section between station 2+60 and 3+00? The average distance between 2+60 and 3+00 is 20 ft. Add that to the distance from 3+00 to the free haul area, which begins at 4+30.
The crushed stone output from a 36-by 42-in. crusher, with a closed opening of 2 ½ in (output is 50 tph)., is passed over a single horizontal vibrating screen with 1 ½ in. openings. If the permissible screen efficiency is 90%, use the information from Peurifoy to determine the minimum-size screen, expressed in square feet, required to handle the output of the crusher. please show complete solution use 4 decimal places
A railway cut 245 ft. long and 46 ft. wide at the bottom is made with sloping sides, which are 96 ft. and 75 ft. in length. The 96-ft. side is inclined 55° and the other side is inclined 30° to the horizontal. a. Find the volume of the earth removed in cubic ft. b. Find the cost of removing the earth at 89 pesos per load, if the trucks have a capacity of 4 cu. yd.
It is determined that a 5-m width-of-cut combine is traveling 1.5-m/s. In one minute’s time 50 kg of grain are collected in the grain tank and 60kg of material are discharged out of the rear of the machine. Find the machine capacities: field capacity, (ha/hr) material capacity (kg/hr), throughput capacity, (ton/hr)
A 128.8 lb homogeneous plank is placed on two homogeneous, cylindrical rollers, each of weight 32.2 lb. The system is released from rest on a surface inclined 30-degrees to the horizontal (see figure below). Determine the initial acceleration assuming no slipping occurs. Does this initial acceleration change with time?
(c) Giver the end area of cut and fill of soil as in Table Q4(c). If the material bulks after excavation about 10% and shrink 12%. Given, distance between chainage is 100 m. Draw the mass haul diagram and estimate how much excess cut or fill is required.
A rectangular scow with a height of 7ft, width of 18ft and length of 32ft, being loaded with garbage has a draft of 5ft in water. Its center of gravity is 2ft above the waterline. Is the scow stable? What is the initial Metacentric height? Show your complete solution.
Calculate the total operation time for this construction activity if the volume of soil to be removed is 8 cu.m. (considered 33% for bulking of materials.) The speed of dumptruck is 30 kph and travel distance (round trip) from the source to disposal area vice-versa is 6 km. The bucket size of excavator is 0.50 cu.m at 0.50 min loading time, tipping time is 4 mins. a. 15.18 minutes b. 22.02 minutes c. 25.32 minutes d. 30.00 minutes
A river barge, whose cross section is approximately rectangular, carries a load of grain. Thebarge is 28 ft wide and 90 ft long. When unloaded its draft (depth of submergence) is 5 ft, andwith the load of grain the draft is 7 ft. Determine:(a) the unloaded weight of the barge in lbs, and(b) the weight of the grain in lbs.
Determine the cycle time for a single-engine scraper rated at 21 cy heaped that is used to haul material from a pit to a fill 900ft away under severe conditions. The average haul speed will be 14 mph. the average return speed will be 20 mph. Assume at an average speed of 5 mph, that 200ft is required to both accelerate and decelerate. The operating efficiency will be equal to a 50-min hour. It will take 0.80 min to load this scraper.
