The relationship between the bacteria growth and the oxygen concentration is described by the following equation; ck max etc? where ©; and Knax is the coefficient of the experiment Table Q1(a) shows the data collected during the study conducted by the environmental engineer. Table Qt(a) c, k, (mgiL) | per day 0.50 44 0.80 2.35 1.45 53 2.51 76 4 89 i) Using suitable linear transformation on the given relationship, show the way on how to compute the Knax and c, value. (7 marks) ii) Determine the value of Knax and 0, using the graph paper. (8 marks) i) Determine the growth rate of the bacteria if the oxygen concentration is 3 mg/l. (4 marks) b) A plane truss structure, with a pin and a roller support at A and B, has been statically analysed to obtain the reaction forces as shown in Figure Q1(b). By choosing any truss joint and considering the statically force equilibrium over the joint and considering the axial forces values in Table Q1(b), determine all unknown member axial force values attached at the selected joint using the Gauss-Jordan Elimination method. © Hak Cipta Universiti Teknologi MARA CONFIDENTIALCONFIDENTIAL, 3 EC/JUL 2017/CES512/513/508 20 kN 30kKN_+ XD 0.5m 04m ay 6 T 21.41 KN 61.11 kN {<4} >_>} 03m 0.2m 04m Figure Q1(b) Table Q1(b) ‘Member Forces (KN) | cD 3.82 cB T =38.25 CA I 5.60 Note that negative force values denote member in the compression state.
