  • Chapter 1: Analytic Geometry
    1 Analytic Geometry Much of the mathematics in this chapter will be review for you. However, the examples will be oriented toward applications and so will take some thought. In the (x,y) coordinate system we normally write the x-axis horizontally, with positive numbers to the right of the origin, and the y-axis vertically, with positive numbers above the origin. That is, unless stated otherwise, we take “rightward” to be the positive x- direction and “upward” to be the positive y-direction. In a purely mathematical situation, we normally choose the same scale for the x- and y-axes. For example, the line joining the origin to the point (a,a) makes an angle of 45◦ with the x-axis (and also with the y-axis). In applications, often letters other than x and y are used, and often different scales are chosen in the horizontal and vertical directions. For example, suppose you drop something from a window, and you want to study how its height above the ground changes from second to second. It is natural to let the letter t denote the time (the number of seconds since the object was released) and to let the letter h denote the height. For each t (say, at one-second intervals) you have a corresponding height h. This information can be tabulated, and then plotted on the (t, h) coordinate plane, as shown in figure 1.0.1. We use the word “quadrant” for each of the four regions into which the plane is divided by the axes: the first quadrant is where points have both coordinates positive, or the “northeast” portion of the plot, and the second, third, and fourth quadrants are counted off counterclockwise, so the second quadrant is the northwest, the third is the southwest, and the fourth is the southeast.

  • Hydraulics Manual Glossary G - 3
    Glossary G - 1 GLOSSARY OF HIGHWAY-RELATED DRAINAGE TERMS (Reprinted from the 1999 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Model Drainage Manual) G.1 Introduction This Glossary is divided into three parts: · Introduction, · Glossary, and · References. It is not intended that all the terms in this Glossary be rigorously accurate or complete. Realistically, this is impossible. Depending on the circumstance, a particular term may have several meanings; this can never change. The primary purpose of this Glossary is to define the terms found in the Highway Drainage Guidelines and Model Drainage Manual in a manner that makes them easier to interpret and understand. A lesser purpose is to provide a compendium of terms that will be useful for both the novice as well as the more experienced hydraulics engineer. This Glossary may also help those who are unfamiliar with highway drainage design to become more understanding and appreciative of this complex science as well as facilitate communication between the highway hydraulics engineer and others. Where readily available, the source of a definition has been referenced. For clarity or format purposes, cited definitions may have some additional verbiage contained in double brackets [ ]. Conversely, three “dots” (...) are used to indicate where some parts of a cited definition were eliminated. Also, as might be expected, different sources were found to use different hyphenation and terminology practices for the same words. Insignificant changes in this regard were made to some cited references and elsewhere to gain uniformity for the terms contained in this Glossary: as an example, “groundwater” vice “ground-water” or “ground water,” and “cross section area” vice “cross-sectional area.” Cited definitions were taken primarily from two sources: W.B.

  • Perimeter, Area, and Volume
    Perimeter, Area, and Volume Perimeter is a measurement of length. It is the distance around something. We use perimeter when building a fence around a yard or any place that needs to be enclosed. In that case, we would measure the distance in feet, yards, or meters. In math, we usually measure the perimeter of polygons. To find the perimeter of any polygon, we add the lengths of the sides. 2 m 2 m P = 2 m + 2 m + 2 m = 6 m 2 m 3 ft. 1 ft. 1 ft. P = 1 ft. + 1 ft. + 3 ft. + 3 ft. = 8 ft. 3ft When we measure perimeter, we always use units of length. For example, in the triangle above, the unit of length is meters. For the rectangle above, the unit of length is feet. PRACTICE! 1. What is the perimeter of this figure? 5 cm 3.5 cm 3.5 cm 2 cm 2. What is the perimeter of this figure? 2 cm Area Perimeter, Area, and Volume Remember that area is the number of square units that are needed to cover a surface. Think of a backyard enclosed with a fence. To build the fence, we need to know the perimeter. If we want to grow grass in the backyard, we need to know the area so that we can buy enough grass seed to cover the surface of yard. The yard is measured in square feet. All area is measured in square units. The figure below represents the backyard. 25 ft. The area of a square Finding the area of a square: is found by multiplying side x side.

  • Unit 5 Area, the Pythagorean Theorem, and Volume Geometry
    Unit 5 Area, the Pythagorean Theorem, and Volume Geometry ACC Unit Goals – Stage 1 Number of Days: 34 days 2/27/17 – 4/13/17 Unit Description: Deriving new formulas from previously discovered ones, the students will leave Unit 5 with an understanding of area and volume formulas for polygons, circles and their three-dimensional counterparts. Unit 5 seeks to have the students develop and describe a process whereby they are able to solve for areas and volumes in both procedural and applied contexts. Units of measurement are emphasized as a method of checking one’s approach to a solution. Using their study of circles from Unit 3, the students will dissect the Pythagorean Theorem. Through this they will develop properties of the special right triangles: 45°, 45°, 90° and 30°, 60°, 90°. Algebra skills from previous classes lead students to understand the connection between the distance formula and the Pythagorean Theorem. In all instances, surface area will be generated using the smaller pieces from which a given shape is constructed. The student will, again, derive new understandings from old ones. Materials: Construction tools, construction paper, patty paper, calculators, Desmos, rulers, glue sticks (optional), sets of geometric solids, pennies and dimes (Explore p. 458), string, protractors, paper clips, square, isometric and graph paper, sand or water, plastic dishpan Standards for Mathematical Transfer Goals Practice Students will be able to independently use their learning to… SMP 1 Make sense of problems • Make sense of never-before-seen problems and persevere in solving them. and persevere in solving • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

  • Pressure Vs. Volume and Boyle's
    Pressure vs. Volume and Boyle’s Law SCIENTIFIC Boyle’s Law Introduction In 1642 Evangelista Torricelli, who had worked as an assistant to Galileo, conducted a famous experiment demonstrating that the weight of air would support a column of mercury about 30 inches high in an inverted tube. Torricelli’s experiment provided the first measurement of the invisible pressure of air. Robert Boyle, a “skeptical chemist” working in England, was inspired by Torricelli’s experiment to measure the pressure of air when it was compressed or expanded. The results of Boyle’s experiments were published in 1662 and became essentially the first gas law—a mathematical equation describing the relationship between the volume and pressure of air. What is Boyle’s law and how can it be demonstrated? Concepts • Gas properties • Pressure • Boyle’s law • Kinetic-molecular theory Background Open end Robert Boyle built a simple apparatus to measure the relationship between the pressure and volume of air. The apparatus ∆h ∆h = 29.9 in. Hg consisted of a J-shaped glass tube that was Sealed end 1 sealed at one end and open to the atmosphere V2 = /2V1 Trapped air (V1) at the other end.

  • Derivation of Pressure Loss to Leak Rate Formula from the Ideal Gas Law
    Derivation of Pressure loss to Leak Rate Formula from the Ideal Gas Law APPLICATION BULLETIN #143 July, 2004 Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT P (pressure) V (volume) n (number of moles of gas) T (temperature) R(constant) After t seconds, if the leak rate is L.R (volume of gas that escapes per second), the moles of gas lost from the test volume will be: L.R. (t) Patm Nlost = -------------------- RT And the moles remaining in the volume will be: PV L.R. (t) Patm n’ = n – Nl = ----- - ------------------- RT RT Assuming a constant temperature, the pressure after time (t) is: PV L.R. (t) Patm ------ - --------------- RT n’ RT RT RT L.R.

(t) Patm dPLeak = P - P’ = ------------------ V Solving for L.R. yields: V dPLeak L.R. = -------------- t Patm The test volume, temperature, and Patm are considered constants under test conditions. The leak rate is calculated for the volume of gas (measured under standard atmospheric conditions) per time that escapes from the part. Standard atmospheric conditions (i.e. 14.696 psi, 20 C) are defined within the Non- Destructive Testing Handbook, Second Edition, Volume One Leak Testing, by the American Society of Nondestructive Testing.

  • Measuring Density
    Measuring Density Background All matter has mass and volume. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object has. Its measure is usually given in grams (g) or kilograms (kg). Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. There are numerous units for volume including liters (l), meters cubed (m3), and gallons (gal). Mass and volume are physical properties of matter and may vary with different objects. For example, it is possible for two pieces of metal to be made out of the same material yet for one piece to be bigger than the other. If the first piece of metal is twice as large as the second, then you would expect that this piece is also twice as heavy (or have twice the mass) as the first. If both pieces of metal are made of the same material the ratio of the mass and volume will be the same. We define density (ρ) as the ratio of the mass of an object to the volume it occupies. The equation is given by: M ρ = (1.1) V here the symbol M stands for the mass of the object, and V the volume. Density has the units of mass divided by volume such as grams per centimeters cube (g/cm3) or kilograms per liter (kg/l). Sample Problem #1 A block of wood has a mass of 8 g and occupies a volume of 10 cm3. What is its density? Solution 8g The density will be = 0.8g / cm 3 . 10cm 3 This means that every centimeter cube of this wood will have a mass of 0.8 grams.
