Maintaining Level of Service C on a Freeway. A four-lane freeway is located on rolling rural terrain and has two 12-ft lanes in each direction and no lateral obstructions within 8 ft of the right-hand lane. The traffic stream consists of cars and trucks. A peak-hour volume of 3600 vehicles is observed in the major direction, with 1000 arriving in the most congested 15-min period. TRD = 0.24 ramps/mi. If any data are missing, adopt default values. A. What is the PHF?
B. What is the density of the peak hour traffic? At what level of service is the freeway operating?
C. If a level of service no worse than C is desired, how many lanes are needed in each direction?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
