At what angles are the red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) parts of the light
refracted? Are the angles going to be different if the light strikes a crown

- The daily water consumption for an Ohio community is normally distributed with a mean consumption of 842,061 gallons and a standard deviation of 87,901 gallons. The community water system will experience a noticeable drop in water pressure when the daily water consumption exceeds 991,628 gallons. What is the probability of experiencing such a drop in water pressure? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Since it has been linked to cancer of the bladder, kidney, and other internal organs, the EPA has lowered the arsenic standard for drinking water from 0.050 parts per million to 0.010 parts per million (10 parts per billion). The annual cost to public water utilities to meet the new standard is estimated to be $202 per household. If it is estimated that there are 92 million households in the United States and that the lower standard can save 52 lives per year valued at S 4 million per life, what is the benefit/cost ratio of the regulation?

A coated heavy-gauge plastic pipeline can be installed,with pumps spaced appropriately along the pipeline. Alternatively, a canal can be built; however, it will have greater water loss than the pipeline, due to evaporation and poaching along the canal route. To compensate for the water loss, the canal will have a greater carrying capacity than the pipeline. It is estimated it will cost $125 million to install the pipeline. Major replacements are planned every 15 years at a cost of $10 million. Pumping and other annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $5million. The canal will cost $200 million to construct; its annual operating and maintenance costs are anticipated to be $1 million. Major upgrades of the canal are anticipated every 10 years, at a cost of $5 million. Based on a five percent MARR and an…arrow_forward

- Question: Gürler River flows through an urban area. Due to there have been occasional floods caused damage to properties in this area, a flood control project has been proposed. Estimates have been made for two alternative designs, one involving channel improvement (CI) and the other involving a dam and reservoir (D&R). The estimated project life is 50 years and MARR is 8%. Flood damages are expected to be 780.000 TL per year if the present condition of no flood control (NFC) is continued. The altemative CI will reduce this figure to 200.000 TL and D&R will reduce it to 70.000 TL. The initial cost of CI is 3,2 million TL and estimated annual operation and maintenance cost is 50.000 TL. The initial cost of D&R is 6,5 million TL and estimated annual operation and maintenance cost is 100.000 TL. D&R alternative has also two types of adverse consequences for the public related to the conservation of natural resources.

They have been offered two options: diverting water at a point 8 miles upstream and allowing gravity to move the water to the town (the "gravity" plan), or diverting water at a point much closer to the town and using pumps to move the water to the town (the "pumping" plan). The pumping plan would be built in two stages, with half of its capacity installed initially and the other half installed ten years later. For both options, the town wants to use a 40-year life, 10% interest, and no salvage value. The projected costs are in the table below: Initial Cost Additional investment at the end of the 10th year Annual Operation and Maintenance, excluding Power Annual Power Cost Gravity $2,800,000 None $10,000 $25,000 $75,000 Use an Annual Worth analysis to determine the most economical plan for the town.
