The yield of a well depends upon

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Concept:

The yield of a well means the discharge from the well excavated through the given aquifer

Q = nva A = KiA

where,

n = porosity

va = the actual flow velocity of groundwater

A = the area of the aquifer opening onto the wells

K = the permeability of the soil

From the above relation, we can say that yield of a well (Q) is directly proportional to flow velocity, area of aquifer and permeability of soil.

Save

The rigid frame shown in the figure is-

Detailed Solution: Question 26

(Ds = 3mre – 3J)

(=3×23 – 3 × 3 = 0)

Hence it is determinate and stable.

In general: If The structure is number of unknowns < number="" of="" equations="" unstable="" number="" of="" unknowns="number" of="">

Stable & Determinate number of unknowns > number of equations Indeterminate The procedure outlined above does not always work with regard to stability. An alternate method (the displaced shape method) of determining whether a structure is stable or unstable, and determinate or indeterminate is the following

  • If the displaced shape of the structure can be drawn so that no members deform, the structure is unstable.

  • If the displaced shape cannot be drawn without causing a member to deform, the structure is stable.

If removal of one constraint (a support force or a member force) causes the structure to be unstable (i.e. the structure can be displaced without deforming a member), then the original structure is stable and determinate. o If two or more constraints need to be removed to cause the structure to be unstable, the original structure is stable and indeterminate.

Hence, the correct option is (A)

APSC AE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 10 - Question 29
Save

Which one of the following methods would be best suited for the disposal of plastic and rubber waste?

Detailed Solution: Question 29

Pyrolysis is a process of chemically decomposing organic materials such as plastic and rubber at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen.

In general, pyrolysis does not involve reactions with oxygen, water, or any other reagents.

Composting: Composting of refuse is a biological method of decomposing solid waste. If the organic materials excluding plastics, leather, and rubber are separated from the solid wastes and are subjected to decomposition either aerobically or anaerobically, the remaining end product is called compost or humus. The entire process involving both the separation and bacterial conversion of the organic solid wastes is known as Composting.

Incineration is one of the most effective methods of reducing the volume and weight of solid waste by burning it in a well-designed furnace.

APSC AE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 10 - Question 30
Save

The lower water-cement ratio in concrete produces:

Detailed Solution: Question 30

The water-cement ratio is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in a concrete mix.

A lower ratio leads to higher strength and durability but may make the mix difficult to work with and form.

The water-cement ratio is inversely proportional to the strength of concrete, lower water-cement ratio leads to an increase in bonds between the aggregates, cement, and sand.

As w/c increases quantity of cement in concrete reduces hence the availability of paste in concrete reduces. Poorer the paste higher the creep. therefore we can say that strength of concrete is inversely proportional to the creep.
