2. A garden hose attached to a nozzle is used to fill a 15-gal bucket. The inner diameter of the hose is 1.5 cm, and it reduces to 0.8 cm at the nozzle exit. If it takes 50 s to fill the bucket with water (density = 1 kg/L), determine
(a) the volume and mass flow rates of water through the hose, and
(b) the average velocity of water at the nozzle exit.

transpo: Please show step by step and the diagram too. An approach to a signalized intersection has a saturation flow rate of 1800 veh/h. At the beginning of an effective red, there are 6 vehicles in queue and vehicles arrive at 900 veh/h. The signal has a 60-second cycle with 25 seconds of effective red. What is the total vehicle delay after one cycle? What is the maximum length of queuing within this cycle? (assumeD/D/1 queuing)

The principles of risk management are routinely applied in society (e.g. benefits of a drug vs. potential harmful adverse reactions in some patients). Risk management principles enable decision-makers to determine a balance between risk and cost to reduce that risk. The "safer" we engineer something, the more it costs. Using risk management, a "cutoff" point is decided upon, where further expenditures to further reduce risk are not "cost effective." Advances in instrumentation are allowing us to "discover" pollutants in treated wastewater that we couldn't detect previously due to their minute concentrations. The pollutants are introduced by human activity and many advocates they should, therefore, be removed, regardless of cost. The cost of removing minute traces of any pollutant is very high due to the low concentrations. The counter-argument is that the pollutants, previously un-measurable, have been in treated wastewater for generations and haven't caused harm.
Questions:
1. How should this be approached?
2. Does risk management have a role?
