Law library research assignment

purpose: To familiarize yourself with the law library system and website.

Course Outcome:   You will be able to apply research rules and techniques using web based legal online research.

Program Outcome: You will demonstrate critical thinking skills to prioritize, anticipate and analyze problems, and then to evaluate and implement solutions.

Go to either the Pierce County Law Library or the King County Law Library website and look around then answer the following questions. (2 points each)

• What kinds of information can you find?
• Is the information all free?
• Are there continuing legal education courses available (CLE's)? Are there any offered for paralegals?
• Would this be a site you would go to for in-depth legal research? Why or why not?
• Does the website offer research assistance? What fees do they charge for the service?

Prepare a computer algorithm that evaluates the critical depth of a regular channel using the false position technique or a method of your choice. Verify the program with the following data:

(a) Circular section, Q 5 m3 /s, d 2.5 m

(b) Rectangular section, Q 125 ft3 /sec, b 12 ft

(c) Trapezoidal section, Q 120 m3 /s, b 10 m, m1 m2 5

(d) Triangular section, Q 250 ft3 /sec, m1 2.5, m2 3.0

Consider the work place acoustical and lighting problems of a typical office where 15 staff are working in a big hall, divided into small cubicles separated by 1.5m high partitions (from floor level) between them. Enumerate at least 6 lighting and acoustical problems (3 for each ) and suggest their solutions (for all the 6 problems )

Draw the enveloped shear diagram and enveloped moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a uniform dead load of 1.00kip/ft, a uniform live load of 1.50kip/ft and a concentrated live load of 175 kip. the dead load is applied to te entire span. the live load may be positioned anywhere on the span.

A- Explain the term "waste reuse" and mention the main difference between waste reuse and waste recycle

A- Briefly describe what you know about Ozone depletion and Global warming.and Name the major risks caused by a SOx on humans? -What air pollution control device is better in removing SO4? Draw the device and label all the important components.

A- List all the three Exposure Pathways to consider in risk assessment.

Draw the Inverted Hierarchy of Waste Minimization and give one example for the reuse and recycle part of the hierarchy that can be implemented in TU campus. (Note: the arrow showing the least favoured and the most favoured options is a part of the hierarchy and should be shown in the drawing)

Air at 20°C and a velocity of 8 m/s flows over the 4-m length of a 4-m wide single surface of a square plate whose temperature is 80°C. (For properties of air, use k = 0.02735 W/m·K, Pr = 0.7228, ν = 1.798 x 10-5 m2 /s ) Given the above information, do the calculations to answer the two MC questions below. Please clearly show/discuss your solution method and calculations. A. __________The rate of heat transfer, Q̇ , from this surface is most nearly: a) 7380 W b) 8980 W c) 11,200 W d) 14,500 W e) 20,400 W

B. _______The length of the surface for which the flow is likely to remain laminar is most nearly: a) 0.9 m b) 1.1 m c) 1.3 m d) 2.5 m e) 3.7m

I buy used computers and salvage the parts to build "refurbished" computers. I want to build 1000 computers, and have found suppliers of old working computers which have the following components inside, which cost the following, and are available in the following numbers:

Each of my computers will require one mother board, 2 - 4340 chips, 3 - 686 chips, and 1000 GB of hard drive storage. Set up the linear programming solution to determine how many computers I should purchase, and from whom.

Today, April 1st 2020, I put $1000 into the bank. Every month thereafter I
added the same amount, plus $20 more than the month before (i.e. $1020, $1040,
$1060, etc.) If the sign on the door of my bank says they pay 6% nominal yearly
interest, how much will I be able to take out of the bank on January 1st, 2023. Draw a
cash-flow diagram.

A six-lane recreational freeway has the following characteristics: 12 ft lanes, 6 ft lateral clearances, 2 ramps/mi, 10% trucks (standard mix), peak-hour factor=0.95, level terrain, peak-hour demand=4,000 veh/h. Because the facility serves recreational users to a nearby ski area, the peak period occurs on weekends, and light to moderate snow is the normal weather pattern. If virtually all users of the facility are unfamiliar with the roadway, what is the expected LOS during the peak period?

What do you have to check when constructing a retaining wall? write as much as you can

1. Given discharge is 450 m³/s, river width is 50 m at a depth of 6 m and bed slope of 0.0003, the sediment has a typical diameter of 0.01 m. Estimate the bedload transport using Shield and Einstein-Brown formula.

2. Annual precipitation measurements (Pi in cm) for M City, were given in Problem 1. Determine the magnitude of the 10-year precipitation depth if the data fit:

1. the normal distribution.
2. the Gumbel distribution.

How many times was the P10 (normal) exceeded in the 20-year annual precipitation record given in Problem 1?
