A 240 hp (power-shift) dozer is used in a pushing operation. The
dozer is equipped
with a straight blade. The material (dry and noncohesive) weighs 98
pcf in the bank
state. It is estimated the material will swell 6%, from bank to
loose state. The center-of
mass–to–center-of-mass pushing distance is 200 ft. Job efficiency
can be assumed to
be equivalent to a 45-min hour. Calculate the production in bcy per
hour and the
direct cost of the proposed earthmoving operation in dollars per
bcy. The company’s
normal O&O cost for these machines is $95 per hour and the
operator’s wage is
$15.00 per hour plus 40% for fringes, insurance, and worker’s
compensation. (207
bcy/hr, $0.561/bcy).

A method for remediating ground water contaminated with perchloroethylene is to allow contaminated water to pass through a permeable region containing iron metal and having the perc reduced to ethylene and the iron changed to ferric hydroxide.
Write the full balanced redox reaction for the degradation of perchloroethylene to ethylene by iron metal being oxidized to ferric hydroxide.

A crest vertical curve begins with a 1.2% upgrade and ends with a 1.08% downgrade. The PVC is at station 125+00 with an elevation of 711.10ft and the PVT is at station 131+30. The distance to the highest point is.............ft from the PVC.

A Seven-sided closed field traverse has the following angles and distances in meters which were measured using a Total station:
AB = 51.7660;
BC = 76.9470;
CD = 37.0700;
DE = 29.2019;
EF = 28.7758;
FG = 36.7056;
GA = 41.9555;
The adjusted angles are as follows:
A = 128˚27’02”;
B = 101˚41’49”;
C = 102˚22’05”;
D = 143˚12’43”;
E = 161˚08’23”;
F = 131˚57’22”;
G = 131˚10’35”;

“My Lord A Valuation Is Not The Valuation'The Above Sentence Was Made By An Astute Valuer Who Was Defending His Values In A Court. The Judge And All The Learned In The Courtroom Were Baffled And Astonished. After 30min Of Elucidating On The Statement, The Entire Court Cannot But Applauded The Valuer.The judge concluded ‘’you Valuers are really friend whose are learned’’.
As a friend of the Valuer and a Land Surveyor in the making,Critically examine the statement,with examples and illustrations convince a client why a valuation is not the valuation.
