- Hello can you help me solve this. Calculate the suspended solids in mg/L given the following data: Weight of crucible: 21.0256 g, Weight of crucible and dry solids: 21.0301 g, Weight of crucible and ash: 21.0263 g, and Volume of sample filtered: 50 mL. Answer should have 2 significant figures.arrow_forwardA standard BOD test is run using seeded dilution water. The blank bottle containing the seeded dilution water has an initial DO of 9.2 mg/L and a final DO of 8.2 mg/L. The waste sample is mixed with seeded dilution water at a 1:25 ratio. It has an initial DO of 9.0 mg/L and a final DO of 2.0 mg/L.

Determine the mean time per collection stop plus the mean time to reach the next stop, the number of pickup locations per load, and the minimum number of trucks the city must own. The City of Forty-Five collection data are as follows: Average truck capacity = 12.5 m3; Average observed compaction ratio = 2.87 Crew size = 2; Number of pickups = 1 /wk (no rear-of-house service) Average number of cans per stop = 2.63/wk at 0.1136 m3/can Average number of residents per stop = 5 Average uncompacted density = 105.76 kg/m3 Average transport time to disposal site including delays and dumping = 1.78 h/trip Average number of trips to disposal site = 2/d; Rest breaks = 2 at 28.0 min Average maintenance downtime = 37.0 min/d; Average workday = 8.00 h Average percent of trucks out of service for major repairs = 15.0% Number of workday per week = 5arrow_forward
