To function properly, a water outflow pipe must drop 1 inch for every 22 inches of horizontal distance. a. calculate the slope for this drain pipe. b. a rainwater pipe 30 feet long must run under the edge of a roof. what is the minimum vertical distance the pipe must drop between its ends? c. a design calls for a drainage pipe to cross a building 45 feet wide as it drops 25 inches. is this pip steep enough to function properly? explain.

(a) 1/22; (b) 1.36'; (c) yes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The slope m is calculated the following way:

m = Δy/Δx

where Δy is the y variation and Δx is the x variation. In the first figure attached we can see that Δy = 1'' and  Δx = 22'', therefore m = 1/22 =  0.045

(b)

Rearranging slope definition:

Δy = m * Δx

Here Δx is 30' (see 2nd figure). Replacing:

Δy = 1/12 * 30' = 1.36'

Note: m is an adimensional number, so it doesn't matter if Δx is in feet or inches as long as Δx is in the same units.

(c)

First we need to transform 25'' to feet before we can use the data in the equation (see 3rd figure).

25'' * 1'/12'' = 2.083'

From slope definition:

m = Δy/Δx = 2.083'/45' = 0.046 > 0.045

Every slope bigger than 1/22 will be satisfactory

b

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.
